The Effect of End User Perceptions of Information Technologi̇es on the Informati̇on Sharing

Abstract

In recent decades, extant studies have focused on dominance of Information Technologies (IT) using different perspectives. While some of these studies utilized domains of IT management, remaining scholarly works dealt with issues of employee perceptions regarding IT usage and how IT usage affects employee outcomes such as job satisfaction. Accordingly, aim of this study is to explore and measure how IT related perceptions of employees determine the use and sharing of information they derive out of using the system effectively. We conceptualized the perceptions in terms of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived self-efficacy and perceived information strenght loss. Employee satisfaction will be evaluated as a mediating variable between IT perceptions and information sharing resulting from these employee perceptions. We will test our model using a 114sample unit size of employees from 3 different universities. The obtained data are analyzed through SPSS. Relaibility, normality, factor and regression analysis was conducted in order to test the hypothesis. Whether we could not find any mediation effect of the satisfaction in the model; the results revealed that both the perceived usefulness and ease of use effect knowledge sharing through IT, however satisfaction is only effected by perceived usefulness.

A conceptual model of institutional information culture and interpersonal conflict which influence the information system success: user's perception

“…In this study, US relates to the degree to which the users are satisfied with the IS. Several studies have pointed out that US has a significant positive relationship with the users' perception of IS success (Davis, 1989;Seddon, 1997;Hussein, 2009), and technology acceptance (King, 1999;Pinar and Erzengin, 2012). Therefore, this study proposes the following hypotheses: H12 US has a significant relationship with UP of the IS success.…”

“…Hence, success and failure could be seen from the user's perspectives (Dwivedi et al, 2014). Little attention has been paid to the users' perceptions of the IS success, despite their potential impact on the productivity and effectiveness of organisations (Pinar and Erzengin, 2012). In addition to ISS, the users are also one of the key factors in the failure of an IS usefulness and satisfaction (Khosravi, 2013;Me, 2014;Udo and Guimaraes, 1994).…”

“…1 INTDB: refers to the extent to which different users depend on each other to accomplish their tasks (Barki and Hartwick, 2001 (Pinar and Erzengin, 2012;Al-Adaileh, 2009). Apart from that, prior studies have shown that PU has a positive relationship with US (Wang et al, 2010;Amin and Abolghasemi, 2014).…”
