In this study, ICT adoption is understood as the whole spectrum of activities from the period when enterprises justify the need for adopting ICT until the period when enterprises experience the full potential of ICT and derive benefits from them [22].…”

“…Based on a stream of research, Ziemba [22] advanced a model, which categorized the adoption of ICT into four components: outlay on ICT (Out), information culture (Cul), ICT management (Man), and ICT quality (Qua). The component of outlay on ICT included the enterprises' financial capabilities and expenditure on the ICT adoption, as well as funding acquired by enterprises from the European funds.…”

“…According to Ziemba [22], the SIS is a multidimensional concept encompassing two constructs: the ICT adoption and sustainability, as well as correlations between them. The sustainability construct embracing the environmental, economic, socio-cultural, and political sustainability can be strongly influenced by the ICT adoption consisting of the outlay on ICT, information culture, ICT management, and ICT quality.…”

Abstract-This study, part of an ongoing global study, aims to advance information society research and practice by examining and understanding the information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption in enterprises in the context of the sustainable information society (SIS). In this study, the ICT adoption is described by four components. i.e. outlay on ICT, information culture, ICT management, and ICT quality, whereas the sustainability is composed of ecological, economic, socio-cultural, and political sustainability. This study employs a quantitative approach to identify the levels of ICT adoption and sustainability in enterprises as well as investigate the correlation between these two constructs. The survey questionnaire was used and data collected from 394 enterprises were analyzed. The research findings reveal that there were significant statistical differences between the highest level of outlay on ICT and the lowest ones, namely the levels of ICT quality and ICT management. Moreover, the economic sustainability was at the highest level, whereas the lowest and similar levels were specific to ecological and political sustainability. Finally, it is investigated that the ICT quality, ICT management, and information culture have a significant impact on the sustainability, whereas the outlay on ICT does not have such an impact. This study advances the information society research and practice by measuring the ICT adoption, sustainability and correlation between them in the Polish enterprises.
