The Relationship Between Psychological Ownership and IT-Driven Value

The concept of psychological ownership is employed in order to enhance our understanding of the relationship between users and information technology professionals and to describe the IT/business process relationship. We use co-ownership to signify a complementary relationship in which users are involved in IT while IT professionals are simultaneously involved in business processes. In an initial study, interviews at four organizations suggest that co-ownership explains information systems’ success and top-rated returns from IT investments. In a second study, we are developing a measure of co-ownership and testing its effect on IT value and performance through a large-scale survey

THE INFLUENCE OF WEBSITE QUALITY ON E-LEARNING USAGE CONTINUITY

This research is concerning on the influence of website quality on the continuity of e-learning usage. The researchers tested the positive influence of website quality on perceived value and the positive influence of perceived value on the intention to continuance intention to use e-learning to answer the research question. The online questionnaire is distributed to the research sample, 48 lecturers who are online course creator and active users of e-learning, to gather meaningful information for the analysis. Further, data analysis is conducted by using Partial Least Square (PLS). Research result suggests that all hypothesis is proven. Website quality has a positive influence on the perceived value (H1) with P-value 0.000. Also, perceived value is proven to have a positive influence on continuance intention to use e-learning with P-value 0.000. In conclusion, website quality has a positive influence on e-learning continuance intention. Keywords: Website Quality, Perceived Value, Intention to Continue the Use of E-Learnin

The Individual Learning Performance Using e-Learning in the Organizational Context

Previous research on e-Learning in the business firms has remained a learner’s characteristic perspective and even if the causes for learning performance have been clarified to some degree, these have not been practical research. However, the present study focuses in verification for the influential factors from an organizational context point of view on the individual leaning performance. The results of this study are as following, 1)e-Learning operation strategies related with management strategies have significant positive relations with the individual learning performance. 2)Organizational atmosphere is significant partially. - Learning motivation of organization has significant positive relations with the individual learning performance. But Innovative disposition of organization is not significant. 3)Reward / evaluation system has significant positive relations with the individual learning performance. The academic significant of the present study lies in that, while previous research on e-Learning has remained conceptual or perspective on individual(learner’s) characteristic about training effect, the present study tried to approach from the organizational context standpoint. Practical issues that the present study presents are that e-Learning managers should realize the importance of, and try to find ways to promote organizational learning motivation to adopt use of e-Learning system. Besides eLearning operation strategies and a more practical reward / evaluation system should be implemented

Missing in Action: The Information System Artifact in Information Systems Adoption and Use

Despite considerable research on information systems adoption and use by individuals, little is known about how the information system (IS) artifact itself affects adoption and use. Prior research has generally treated the IS artifact as a “blackbox” such that it remained peripheral to the central questions asked regarding adoption and use. This paper presents a feature-centric “IS artifact rating” scheme and shows one way in which to unravel the blackbox of the IS artifact and examine its effect on adoption and use. Implications for research and practice are also presented

Comparison of computer use among managerial levels in large organizations

In spite of the rapid advances and expanding roles of information systems in business organizations, it has been speculated that computer use and its impact may still be stronger at lower management levels. A survey of one hundred and eight managers was conducted, investigating computer usage and the perceptions of the benefit of computers. The results indicate that there was no differences among managerial levels with respect to their self-rating as a novice or expert computer user. On the other hand, there were differences with respect to the types of software used and the tasks supported by the software. The lower level managers were more likely to use database type software to perform data retrieval and report generation, whereas the middle level managers were more likely to use office system software or decision support/spreadsheet type software to perform planning and data analysis. The upper level managers were more likely to use database-type software or office systems for a variety of activities including analysis, planning, decision making, and communication. With respect to the computer benefits, the lower level managers generally perceived greater benefits of using the computer than higher level managers

Structure and Extensions of the User Information Satisfaction Construct

User Information Satisfaction (UIS) remains one of the most important constructs in Information Systems research. This paper investigates the application of the UIS instrument across a number of key variables including respondent characteristics. Several findings emerge from a survey of 379 IS and non-IS managers: First, the UIS factors are stable and generalizable. Second, the level of satisfaction varies quite substantially when compared to prior UIS reports, although the IS product satisfaction dominates. Third, IS managers, not surprisingly, evaluate their systems significantly higher than non-IS managers, indicating the importance of stakeholders in evaluating Information Systems success.Finally, respondents evaluate their internal systems differently than their inter-organizational systems, indicating that in the IS evaluation process system type must be considered as a moderating variable.published_or_final_versio
