Abstract
Although habit and intention have both been used to explain post-adoptive behaviors in IS acceptance research, their relationship remains unclear. The present paper provides definitions for the two constructs, identifies their differences and similarities, and hypothesizes that the correlation between the two constructs is stronger for non-reflective behaviors than for reflective ones. The results of a meta-analysis provide preliminary support for this hypothesis.
