Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Online information seeking has always been the focus of attention in the field of users' information behavior research. There are differences in the identification of the influencing factors of online information seeking intention in the existing literature. Clarifying the overall correlation of each influencing factor on online information seeking intention can provide scientific reference for the academic community to deeply understand users' online information seeking intention.[Method/process] Eight antecedents and five moderators influencing online information seeking intention were selected, and 178 independent effect values of 104 literatures were included for meta-analysis.[Result/conclusion] Perceived risk (r=0.166), self-efficacy (r=0.309), perceived usefulness (r=0.509), perceived ease of use (r=0.384), source credibility (r=0.441), information quality (r=0.466), information literacy (r=0.389) and anxiety (r=0.244) have significant positive effects on users' online information seeking intention. Search channel, research situation, education level and identity category of the subjects, and social culture will interfere with the relationship between the above eight variables and online information seeking intention.
