ABSTRACT
This study investigates how a specific domain consideration of future
consequences i.e., consideration of future consequences-Immediate (CFCImmediate) and consideration of future consequences-Future (CFC-Future)
asymmetrically associate and interact with perceived risk and perceived security as
trade-off constructs in predicting continuance intention to use mobile commerce.
Based on a self-administered survey data set of 441 Vietnamese consumers, partial
least square structural equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses. The results
show that CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future are important in explaining continuance
intention to use mobile commerce, but their roles are different due to the asymmetric
impact on perceived risk versus perceived security as well as their moderating effects
on the perceived risk, security and continuance intention. This study is unique since
it explores the different roles of CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future in explaining
continuance intention to use mobile commerce under the trade-off role of perceived
risk versus perceived security.
Keywords: Consideration of future consequences; perceived risk and security;
continuance intention; direct, asymmetric and moderating effects.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
This chapter aims to introduce the research background and to present research
gaps. Accordingly, the literature review demonstrates that there still a lack of studies
that simultaneously investigates both risk and security to form more comprehensive
pictures of if and how opposite determinants are related to continuance intention to use
mobile commerce. This literature review additionally demonstrates the need to
investigate continuance intention to adopt MC from the perspective of consideration of
future consequences. Based on the identified research gap, this chapter postulates four
research objectives and four corresponding research questions. Next, research
methodology and scope are described. Finally, four expected research contributions are
introduced in academic and practical ways.

1.2. Research background
Previous studies have considered the significant evolvement of mobile devices and
mobile internet technologies in recent year (Hanafizadeh, Behboudi, Koshksaray and
Tabar, 2014, Malaquias and Hwang, 2016) as an important facilitator of the
development and proliferation of mobile applications and mobile business (Celik, 2016,
Lu, 2014). As a result, mobile commerce has emerged as an alternative and modern type
of shopping among consumers (Khoi et al., 2018, Phong, Khoi and Le, 2018, Shao,
Zhang, Li and Guo, 2019). Because mobile commerce use mobile devices and wireless
internet connection, the key benefits of this modern type of commerces are ubiquity,
accessibility, convenience, localization, instant connectivity, time sensitivity and
security (Anil, Ting, Moe and Jonathan, 2003, Nassuora, 2013, Sanakulov and
Karjaluoto, 2015, Zhang, Zhu and Liu, 2012). Also, mobile commerce is faster, more
powerful and more effective than computer-based e-commerce (Hsieh, 2014).
With no exception, the development of mobile commerce depends on the attraction
of new consumers (Ovčjak, Heričko and Polančič, 2015, Sanakulov and Karjaluoto,
2015, Zhang et al., 2012). This issue also attracts the interest of academia all over the
world. Indeed, previous studies have revealed that one of the main topics is what
determinants of customer intention to use this modern type of shopping. Previous studies
have categorized online shopping into mobile commerce, electronic commerce, social
commerce and Facebook commerce (Khoi et al., 2018, Lam, Yeung, Lo and Cheng,
2019, Wu, Shen and Chang, 2015). While mobile commerce refers to conducting
transactions on mobile devices, electronic commerce is defined as conducting an online
transaction via the Internet in a computer-mediated environment (Vladimir, 1996),
social commerce can be seen as a subset of electronic commerce that includes
conducting various types of commercial activities on social media (Lam et al., 2019)
such as Facebook, Twitter. As such Facebook commerce is social commerce that is
conducted in a specific social network of Facebook (Chen, Su and Widjaja, 2016). With
the increasing competition between mobile commerce and other types of commerce,
4
maintaining existing consumers seems to be more effective and efficient (Yuan, Liu,
Yao and Liu, 2014, Zhou, 2013c, Zhou, 2013e, Zhou, 2014).
In other words, nurturing and fostering continuance intention of mobile commerce
use also is a significant issue to discover (Bhattacherjee, Perols and Sanford, 2015, Yuan
et al., 2014, Zhou, 2014). However, previous studies in a mobile commerce context
mainly focus on initial adoption while continuance adoption or repurchase loyalty
receives less attention and interest (Shao et al., 2019, Zhou, 2014). Also, prior studies
have largely adopted technology’s characteristics driving factors that are derived from
well-established models such as the technology acceptance model (TAM; Davis, 1989),
innovation diffusion theory (IDT; Rogers, 1995) and the unified theory of acceptance
and usage of technology (UATUT; Venkatesh, Morris, Davis and Davis, 2003) to
increase the predictive power of models explaining and predicting consumer
continuance intention to use mobile commerce (Shao et al., 2019, Zhou, 2013b, Zhou,
2013e, Zhou, 2014). Most of prior research focus on either promotion or barrier factors,
for example, Chong (2015) adopts two constructs of technology acceptance model,
which are perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, to explain an increase in
continuance intention to use mobile commerce while Zhou (2014) uses two variables
(i.e., Information quality and system quality) derived from the model of information
system success to explain a decrease in continuance usage of mobile payment. However,
there still a lack of studies that simultaneously investigates both promotion and barrier
factors, for example risk and security to form a more comprehensive pictures of if and
how opposite determinants are related to continuance intention to use mobile commerce
(Hanafizadeh et al., 2014, Malaquias and Hwang, 2016, Phong et al., 2018). From the
practical perspective, those understanding provide policy makers and companies with
insights into the development of appropriate marketing strategies to promote the mobile
commerce services use (Hsieh, 2014).
Furthermore, previous studies have documented that consumer behavior is affected
by individual differences (Hong, Lin and Hsieh, 2017, Mohamed, Hussein, Hidayah
Ahmad Zamzuri and Haghshenas, 2014, Wang, Ngai and Wei, 2012). In general,
5
individual difference factors have been extensively divided into personality, cognitive
style, and demographic/situational variables (Hirschberg, 1978). Among them,
personality traits are stable characteristics that have important roles in explaining
behavior (Liu, Zhao, Chau and Tang, 2015). Personality traits such as Big Five and
personal values, perceived values, risk-taking propensity, personal innovativeness are
adopted to explain continuance to use innovative products and services (Hong et al.,
2017, Mohamed et al., 2014, Wang et al., 2012). However, time perspective - one
personality traits factor that have potential to explain behavioral continuance intention
– is largely ignored in a mobile commerce context (Joireman and King, 2016). From the
academic perspective, the investigating of if and how time perspective is related to
continuance intention to use mobile commerce contributes to the understanding of the
relationship between personality traits and behavioral intention while from the practical
aspect, this understanding would provide managers with more insights into consumer
segmenting and targeting (Olsen and Tuu, 2017, Pozolotina and Olsen, 2019).
1.3. Justification for the current research
Consideration of future consequences CFC is defined as the extent to which
individuals consider the potential distant outcomes (i.e., immediate and future benefits)
of their current behaviors and the extent to which they are influenced by these potential
outcomes (Strathman et al., 1994). Most previous studies also adapt the
conceptualization and operationalization of CFC including two distinct factors, which
are CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future (Arnocky, Milfont and Nicol, 2013, Joireman,
Shaffer, Balliet and Strathman, 2012, Olsen and Tuu, 2017). Recently well-established
studies in different areas such as food behaviors (Dassen, Houben and Jansen, 2015,
Dassen, Jansen, Nederkoorn and Houben, 2016, Olsen and Tuu, 2017) or proenvironmental behaviors (Arnocky et al., 2013, Joireman et al., 2012, van Beek,
Antonides and Handgraaf, 2013) have focused on consumers’ time perspective to
generate interventions toward expected outcomes for both individuals and societies.
Also, previous studies suggest that CFC can be regarded as a domain-specific concept
since individuals can be time-oriented in some spheres of life, but not in others (McKay,
6
Perry, Cole and Magee, 2017, Olsen and Tuu, 2017, van Beek et al., 2013). Furthermore,
CFC has been largely ignored in mobile commerce context. Therefore, while in
responding to a call for research on the unique contributions of CFC-Immediate and
CFC-Future (Joireman et al., 2008, Joireman and King, 2016), the current research also
contributes the the exisiting literature by extending the two-factor structure of CFC into
a domain-specific immediate and future time perspective of a new context of mobile
commerce.
Consumers’ continuance intention to use mobile commerce is an important
behavior that has attracted substantial attention from both e-commerce academia and
practitioners (Lin and Shih, 2008, Shao et al., 2019, Zhou, 2011). It is defined as an
individual’s subjective probability to continue using mobile commerce (Bhattacherjee,
2001a, Bhattacherjee et al., 2015). Continuance intention to use mobile commerce could
reflect a consideration of a trade-off between focusing on negative results/risk (e.g.,
monetary
loss,
status
loss,
privacy
threat)
versus
emphasizing
positive
outcomes/security (e.g., service personalization, convenience, secured financial
transaction) (Ashraf, Razzaque and Thongpapanl, 2016, Kalinic and Marinkovic, 2015)
that depend on individual differences regarding their immediate and future perspectives
(Joireman et al., 2008, Joireman, Kees and Sprott, 2010, Joireman et al., 2012, Joireman,
Strathman and Balliet, 2006, Olsen and Tuu, 2017). Therefore, this study helps to
respond to a call for filling the gaps in exploring individual differences to predict
consumer behaviors in mobile commerce context (Ovčjak et al., 2015, Sanakulov and
Karjaluoto, 2015, Zhang et al., 2012). Particularly, the relative role of CFC-Immediate
and CFC-Future in relation with perceived risk and perceived security, to predict
consumer continuance intention to use mobile commerce is investigated in the current
study. A knowledge on how to shift consumers from a focus on immediate benefits and
negative/risk perceptions to an emphasis on future benefits and positive/security
perspective can be important for developing effective messages to convince consumers
in increasing mobile commerce usage.
7
Both perceived risk and perceived security are important constructs in consumer
literature, particularly in a mobile commerce area (Flavián and Guinalíu, 2006, Hartono
et al., 2014, Schierz, Schilke and Wirtz, 2010). While perceived risk has long been
defined as negative perceptions and losses (Ovčjak et al., 2015, Sanakulov and
Karjaluoto, 2015, Zhang et al., 2012), perceived security has emerged to be understood
as positive cognitions and potential prospect of online services (Flavián and Guinalíu,
2006, Hartono et al., 2014, Schierz et al., 2010). According to the regulatory focus
theory (Higgins, 1997), perceived risk is considered to be closely associated with
prevention focus (Ovčjak et al., 2015, Sanakulov and Karjaluoto, 2015, Zhang et al.,
2012), while perceived security is usually connected to promotion focus (Flavián and
Guinalíu, 2006, Hartono et al., 2014, Schierz et al., 2010, Shin, 2009). Since individuals
with CFC-Immediate tend to focus more on losses, negative results, pessimistic thoughts
and prevention orientation, while those with CFC-Future tend to focus on gains, positive
consequences, optimistic thoughts and promotion orientation as guides for their current
actions (Joireman et al., 2012), CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future may have asymmetric
effects on perceived risk versus perceived security. Therefore, this study makes an effort
to extend the previous studies on CFCs (e.g., Olsen and Tuu, 2017) in a mobile
commerce context by exploring if and why both CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future can
asymmetrically influence perceived risk and perceived security. The investigation of
asymmetric impacts of CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future on both perceived risk and
perceived security is expected to provide a deeper insight into how to consolidate
positive benefits and to weaken negative perceptions or losses to promote consumers’
expected behaviors (e.g., Olsen and Tuu, 2017).
Furthermore, it is more likely that CFC-Immediate better fits with perceived risk
than with perceived security while CFC-Future is more congruent with perceived
security than perceived risk (Aaker and Lee, 2006, Higgins, 1997, Higgins, Friedman,
Harlow, Idson, Ayduk and Taylor, 2001). Therefore, CFC-Immediate would make
consumers become more and less sensitive to risk and security respectively, meanwhile,
consumers with CFC-Future tend to be less sensitive to risk and more sensitive to
8
security. This implies CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future could have contradicting
interactions with perceived risk and security to influence behavioral consequences (c.f.
Kees, Burton and Tangari, 2010, Strathman et al., 1994). For this reason, this study goes
a further step to explore these moderating effects to give a more comprehensive picture
of if and why CFC can interact with perceived risk and security to impact on continuance
intention to use mobile commerce. A more comprehensive understanding of perceived
risk and perceived security is also provided by structuring those two constructs as
reflective second-order construct versus formative second-order construct (Hartono et
al., 2014, Park and Tussyadiah, 2016).
This study has some important contributions by combining CFC-Immediate and
CFC-Future with perceived risk and perceived security to explain consumer continuance
intention to use mobile commerce by answering some ignored questions in a mobile
commerce context. By addressing these questions, this study contributes to the body of
knowledge regarding the different effects of an important individual difference
characteristic (CFC) on risk vs security trade-off and behavioral intention and thus,
provide some implications for improving mobile commerce adoption. From the practical
perspective, this study provides managers with significant insights of how to develop
and promote mobile commerce in Vietnam.
1.4. Research objectives and research questions
The general objective of this work is to extends previous findings of Joireman et
al. (2012) and Olsen and Tuu (2017) in (un)healthy behavior domain into mobile
commerce context to test the simultaneous impact of risk vs security on continuance
intention to use mobile commerce under the influence of consideration of future
consequences. Accordingly, the specific objectives of this research are:
Objective 1: This study aims at testing the simultaneously direct influence of
consideration of future consequences – immediate and consideration of future
consequences of future consequences – future on continuance intention to use mobile
commerce.
