Drawing on the categorization theory, the purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of perceived entitativity on users\u2019 web-mobile service extension behavior. The research model considers how perceived entitativity serves as a category cue to link the category- and piecemeal-based processing and shape users\u2019 adoption of extended mobile services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>An online survey (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=552) was conducted to empirically test the model.

First, performance expectancy, perceived controllability and subjective norm are important antecedents of users\u2019 usage intention. Second, perceived entitativity has three types of effects on usage intention: it exerts a direct and positive influence on usage intention; it indirectly facilitates usage intention through increasing PE and perceived controllability; and it moderates the relationship between subjective norm and usage intention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study contributes to the literature by taking into account the interplay of category- and piecemeal-based processing to understand consumers\u2019 web-mobile service extension behavior.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/imds-04-2018-0184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,10]],"date-time":"2019-04-10T09:49:26Z","timestamp":1554889766000},"page":"993-1014","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Category-based or piecemeal-based processing?
