Abstract: Rapid development in mobile technologies has brought about changes in human behavior and social relationships. The mobile revolution has brought about changes in technology dependence. It has also increased technostress. This research studies the mobile technology dependence construct. A survey was conducted among mobile phone users. Structural equation models were used to analyze the results. Results indicated that connecting to work, location based services, and sense of security, are important factors of the mobile technology dependence construct, and that increased technology dependence leads to increased mobile technostress, and increased discontinuance intentions. Implications of the findings are examined.
