    The effects of digital nativity on nonvolitional routine and innovative usage
    Martins, Patricia; Picoto, Winnie Ng; Bélanger, France (Emerald, 2022-11-08)
    Purpose: This study explores the differences between digital immigrants (DIs) and digital natives (DNs) in the continuance of routine and innovative information system use. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative survey was conducted with two different samples comprising 100 DIs and 152 DNs in mandatory information system use contexts. Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling to examine the hypothesized relationships in the research model. Findings: Results revealed differences among digital nativity groups. The effect of confirmation of expectations about system use on satisfaction is stronger for DNs whereas the effect on task–technology fit (TTF) is similar in both digital groups. Interestingly, significant differences between digital nativity groups occur in routine use. For DIs, TTF and habit are significant while for DNs, satisfaction significantly affects routine use. The results show no difference between digital native groups regarding innovative use. Originality/value: This study extends the concept of digital nativity to routine and innovative system use, contributing to an enhanced understanding about the differences in information systems continuance (ISC) based on digital nativity. It also provides a fine-grained discussion of how to classify digital nativity and its impact in working contexts and extends the IS continuance model by considering two types of IS usage.
