Agency theory has played a significant role in identifying drivers of offshore information system (IS) project success. Consequently, the role of relational factors in driving project success has been overlooked in this literature. In this paper, we integrate the social embeddedness perspective...

This research investigated age differences in individual adoption and sustained usage of technology in the workplace using the Theory of Planned Behavior. User reactions and technology usage behavior were studied over a five-month period among 118 workers being introduced to a new software...

Little research has examined the impacts of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems implementation on job satisfaction. Based on a 12-month study of 2,794 employees in a telecommunications firm, we found that ERP system implementation moderated the relationships between three job...

This research extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by incorporating gender and age as moderators of user perceptions and individual adoption and sustained use of technology in the workplace. Individual reactions and technology use behavior were studied over a 6-month period among 342...

In this paper, we draw on control theory to understand the conditions under which the use of agile practices is most effective in improving software project quality. Although agile development methodologies offer the potential of improving software development outcomes, limited research has...

Software development is a complex undertaking that continues to present software project teams with numerous challenges. Software project teams are adopting extreme programming (XP) practices in order to overcome the challenges of software development in an increasingly dynamic environment. The...

Errors in requirements specifications have been identified as a major contributor to costly software project failures. It would be highly beneficial if information systems developers could verify requirements by predicting workplace acceptance of a new system based on user evaluations of its...

Web site usability is a critical metric for assessing the quality of a firm’s web presence. A measure of usability must not only provide a global rating for a specific web site, ideally it should also illuminate specific strengths and weaknesses associated with site design. In this paper we...

This paper integrates three streams of research in information systems─i.e., IS success, technology adoption, and human-centered design principles─to extend our understanding of technology use. A theoretical framework that incorporates the core ideas from these three streams of research,...

Purpose: Consumer adoption of online shopping continues to increase each year. At the same time, online retailers face intense competition and few are profitable. This suggests that businesses and researchers still have much to learn regarding key antecedents of online shopping adoption and...
