This paper aims to validate the mission‐critical OSS (open‐source software) model acceptance process using a third‐order formative‐formative measuring model. A two‐stage formative‐formative model was used for partial least square analysis. It includes eight primary mission‐critical OSS adoption constructs and three second‐order (technological, organizational, and environmental). Although nomological validity was affirmed, the empirical findings show the absence of multicollinearity. This study will give organizations in critical industries enough information to understand the importance and weight of each component/factor of the mission‐critical OSS adoption model. The coefficient of determination R2 exceeds the minimum threshold (0.750), and all the hypotheses are significant. This study also contributed to the existing literature by identifying those factors that influence mission‐critical OSS adoption, allowing firms in critical sectors to better understand their mission‐critical OSS adoption issues. Cross‐cultural validation across a broad community is proposed to increase the validity and generalization of the sample scales.

“…OSS adoption in the public sector is an area that has thus far received relatively limited scholarly attention, despite a few notable exceptions 8,9,10,11 This area poses specific challenges that differs from those encountered in the private sector context where software engineering practices have been more commonly investigated. In particular, the public sector domain necessitates the consideration of a broader range of factors, including a more complex set of motivations than those encountered in the private sector, technical capabilities, legally mandated constraints in the form of complicated procurement frameworks and practices, as well as limited or short-term policy incentives.…”

“…However, while open source has provided significant productivity gains for the private sector, 3,4 the public sector is still struggling to utilize OSS fully. 5,6 In this article, we report from the trenches of a Norwegian public transport organization, Entur AS, and discuss how they use OSS as a critical technological strategy to reap the benefits of DX. Since 2016, Entur has broken with sector conventions where a procurement-driven model of acquiring passenger information systems still prevails.…”

SECTORDIGITAL TRANSFORMATION (DX) radically reshapes industries and societies. 1,2 A critical stakeholder group needed to bring this transformation about consists of public sector software professionals, such as those within public transport agencies. For example, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) enables citizens to buy public transport as part of a broader bundle of transport options. On-demand services like ride-hailing, car shares, and demand-response public transport are increasingly used by citizens. Free-floating e-scooters are a new breed of connected vehicles managed via users' smartphones. This changing landscape requires public transport organizations to quickly adapt and collaborate with a changing and increasingly digitalized transport system by including these changing travel habits in agencies' travel planning systems. However, this, in turn, requires agencies to acquire software in a way that supports DX, and where we argue that open source software (OSS) can play a crucial role.DX is going beyond being a buzzword and becoming an established topic for research. Hanelt et al. 2 recently published a thorough metareview based on 279 published articles to clarify how scholars have understood DX. At its core, this massive metareview showed that DX is a process that includes two significant shifts: 1) organizations move toward malleable organizational designs that enable continuous adaption, and 2) this change is embedded in and enabled by digital business ecosystems.In practice, DX allows the organization to reshape itself to new challenges and opportunities rapidly (we refer to this as organizational agility). Also, successful DX enables an organization to have whole new collaborations with external
