    The application of change management theory to HR portal implementation in subsidiaries of multinational corporations

    HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, Issue 1 2005
    Cataldo Dino Ruta
    HR portals are complex information technology (IT) applications that can be accessed by all employees of a given organization. By placing more applications and information online, HR portals reduce the reliance employees have on HR personnel. Given this relational change, from human to computer, the HR portal implementation process must take into account the challenges of both change management and technology acceptance. By integrating change management theories with IT user acceptance models, this article adds to HR's collective knowledge of ways to effectively implement HR portals. In addition, this article describes the cross-national challenges that exist when a global firm attempts to implement an HR portal around the world. Thus, this article will present a model that (1) integrates change management theories and IT user acceptance models and (2) illustrates the ways in which change management plans may need to be adapted to be effective in various subsidiaries. A case study of Hewlett-Packard's (HP's) worldwide implementation of their @HP Employee Portal in the Italian subsidiary of HP illustrates the key issues of these theories. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    User acceptance of Intelligence and Security Informatics technology: A study of COPLINK

    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 3 2005
    Paul Jen-Hwa Hu
    The importance of Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) has significantly increased with the rapid and large-scale migration of local/national security information from physical media to electronic platforms, including the Internet and information systems. Motivated by the significance of ISI in law enforcement (particularly in the digital government context) and the limited investigations of officers' technology-acceptance decision-making, we developed and empirically tested a factor model for explaining law-enforcement officers' technology acceptance. Specifically, our empirical examination targeted the COPLINK technology and involved more than 280 police officers. Overall, our model shows a good fit to the data collected and exhibits satisfactory power for explaining law-enforcement officers' technology acceptance decisions. Our findings have several implications for research and technology management practices in law enforcement, which are also discussed. [source]

    The CAT model: Extensions and moderators of dominance in technology acceptance

    PSYCHOLOGY & MARKETING, Issue 10 2008
    Suzanne A. Nasco
    Recently, Kulviwat et al. (2007) proposed a new model, Consumer Acceptance of Technology (CAT), that was shown to significantly improve the prediction of intentions to adopt high tech products by integrating affect constructs and an additional cognitive construct into the well-known Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The purpose of the current study is to examine issues that were beyond the scope of the first article. In particular, the dominance dimension of a fect did not previously show the expected positive effect on attitudes toward adopting technology. The current study clarifies the role of dominance in technology acceptance by uncovering a significant interaction it has with another construct within CAT. In addition, CAT is explored across different types of consumer tasks performed with a high-tech innovation and is expanded by including a measure of social influence felt by the consumer. Finally, the CAT model is further validated using additional statistical analyses not applied in the initial publication. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source]

    Integrating technology readiness into technology acceptance: The TRAM model

    PSYCHOLOGY & MARKETING, Issue 7 2007
    Chien-Hsin Lin
    Based on previous theoretical streams, the present study integrates technology readiness (TR) into the technology acceptance model (TAM) in the context of consumer adoption of e-service systems, and theorizes that the impact of TR on use intention is completely mediated by both perceptions of usefulness and ease of use. TAM was originally developed to predict people's technology-adopting behavior at work environments, but this research stemmed from a questioning of its applicability in marketing (i.e., non-work) settings. The differences between the two settings are exhibited by consumers' self-determining selection behavior and their high involvement in the e-service creation and delivery process. This paper first reviews the TAM and the construct of technology readiness, and then proposes and empirically tests an integrated Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model (TRAM) to augment TAM by taking technology readiness construct into the realm of consumers' adoption of innovations. The results indicate that TRAM substantially broadens the applicability and the explanatory power of either of the prior models and may be a better way to gauge technology adoption in situations where adoption is not mandated by organizational objectives. Further, theoretical and practical implications and future research directions are discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source]
