Influencing Factors of the Continuous Use of a Knowledge Payment Platform-Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis Based on Triadic Reciprocal Determinism

Based on triadic reciprocal determinism, in this study, we adopted the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to conduct configuration analysis on the factors that influence the continuous use of knowledge payment platforms and explain the mechanism of the configuration effect of different influencing factors. The research included six casual variables: perceived value, platform quality, satisfaction, trust, subjective norms, and habits. Continuous use intention and continuous use behavior were used as the outcome variables. By discussing the action paths of six casual variables on two outcome variables, it is suggested that the operators of knowledge payment platforms should select different influencing factor configuration paths to improve the service and promote the continuous use of the knowledge payment platform by users.
