contents This study investigates Chinese teachers' continuance intention to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) by integrating the Expectation-Confirmation Model with Institutional Theory. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed. Questionnaire data from 437 teachers were analysed using structural equation modelling, followed by semi-structured interviews with 15 teachers to further interpret the findings. The results indicate that confirmation, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction play important roles in shaping teachers' continuance intention, while institutional pressures, including coercive, normative, and mimetic influences, also contribute to continued use. Qualitative findings further reveal that teachers often use generative AI pragmatically to support tasks such as lesson preparation and idea generation, while simultaneously exercising caution and critically evaluating the reliability of AI-generated content. These findings highlight the combined influence of individual evaluations and institutional contexts on teachers' sustained engagement with generative AI in education.
