“…In addition, according to Table 1, it can be demonstrated that in order to explain the adoption of several diverse IS innovations; TOE framework can successfully be utilized. Likewise, the TOE model was applied and tested in Asian, European, and American, in addition to both developed and developing countries [73], [83][84][85]. To all intents and purposes, the experts generally agree on the three TOE dimensions suggested by Tornatzky and Fleischer [76], including the effect of environment, organization and technology adoption.…”

Background: Hospital Information System (HIS) is implemented to provide high-quality patient care. The aim of this study is to identify significant dimensional factors that influence the hospital decision in adopting the HIS. Methods: This study designs the initial integrated model by taking the three main dimensions in adopting HIS technology. Accordingly, DEMATEL was utilized to test the strength of interdependencies among the dimensions and variables. Then ANP approach is adapted to determining how the factors are weighted and prioritized by professionals and main users working in the Iranian public hospitals, involved with the HIS system. Results: The results indicated that "Perceived Technical Competence" is a key factor in the Human dimension. The respondents also believed that "Relative Advantage," "Compatibility" and "Security Concern" of Technology dimension should be further assessed in relation to other factors. With respect to Organization dimension, "Top Management Support" and "Vendor Support" are considered more important than others. Conclusion: Applying the TOE and HOT-fit models as the pillar of our developed model with significant findings add to the growing literature on the factors associated with the adoption of HIS and also shed some light for managers of public hospitals in Iran to successfully adopt the HIS.

“…Some researchers (Sadowski et al, 2002;Beveren and Thomson, 2002;Scupola, 2003;Zhu et al, 2003;Gibbs and Kraemer, 2004) come up with the empirical evidence and found competitive pressure as a powerful driver of IT innovation adoption. Contrary to that Teo (2007) did not found competitive pressure as a significant factor for the adoption of innovation.…”

“…Bases on knowledge persuasion take place and then decisions are made. Previous studies in the area of IS (Zhu et al, 2003;Oliveira and Martins, 2008;Pan and Jang, 2008;Ghobakhloo et al, 2011), have studied many kind of IS adoptions like website, e-business, e-commerce, ERP, marketing etc., but studies focus on HRIS are still lacking particularly one that measures HRIS adoption. Researchers have identified many factors that affect the decision of adoption.…”

This paper has focused on the importance of human resource information system (HRIS) implementation in the organization to achieve the competitive advantage. This study proposed a research framework which is derived from diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) framework. For the purpose of this study various determinants that could influence the adoption of HRIS such as IT infrastructure, IT expertise, financial readiness, HR practices and competitive pressure have been evaluated. A proposed methodology is established in the paper which could assist futuristic researchers who are willing to pursue their study in similar context. Previous studies had focused the process of HRIS adoption at decision stage (stage 3 of adoption process in DOI) as dichotomous scale though none of the studies have developed the scale for HRIS implementation (stage 4 of adoption process in DOI). Along with identification of literature gap, this study has also exhibited theoretical and practical implications with regard to HRIS adoption.

“…Accordingly, Rothaermel and Alexandre (2009) contended, from a perspective of technology sourcing, that the need for organizations to achieve ambidexterity is positively correlated with the dynamism of the respective environment. Within the environmental context, regulatory support has been recognized as a crucial component affecting innovation diffusion (Zhu and Kraemer, 2005;Zhu et al, 2003;Zhu et al 2006). We believe that regulatory support in terms of supportive government or state policies and/or legislation (e.g., National Computer Recycling Act, Restriction of Hazardous Substances, European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) on the state-wide or national level can help organizations achieve their Green IT aims with regard to redesigning IT and business processes through virtualization and minimizing environmental impacts and how they contribute to sustainable development.…”

a b s t r a c tGreen IT (information technology) has recently emerged into an active research area in the information systems (IS) discipline. A major gap that exists in the Green IT research literature today is the absence of a theoretical framework that can be used to assist organizations in assessing their potential for undertaking Green IT initiatives and implementing them via modern technological means such as virtualization. This study attempts to bridge this gap by developing and proposing an integrative framework which focuses on identifying and examining the factors that contribute to the assessment of a firm's readiness to go green via IT-enabled virtualization. The framework is firmly grounded using three wellestablished IS theories: (a) technology-organization-environment, (b) process-virtualization, and (c) diffusion of innovation. It integrates these three theoretical lenses to utilize the strengths of each for assessing the potential for undertaking Green IT initiatives and the stages of Green IT implementation at the organizational level. The implications of the outcome of this study, both for the IS researchers and for the practicing managers are discussed. The plan for empirical testing and validation of our propositions is presented, as well as suggestions for future extensions of this study.
