The Embeddedness of Information Systems Habits in Organizational and Individual Level Routines: Development and Disruption

Relating motivation to information and communication technology acceptance: Self-determination theory perspective

“…During the past 20 years, the IS community has put considerable attention on the ICT acceptance theories including the social cognitive theory (Compeau, Higgins, & Huff, 1999;Polites & Karahanna, 2013), technology acceptance model (Davis, 1989), theory of reasoned actions/planned behavior (Nasri & Charfeddine, 2012;Szajna, 1996), Triandis Model (Thompson, Higgins, & Howell, 1991), unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (Martins, Oliveiraa, & Popovic, 2014;Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003). These models have been applied to different technologies (e.g., word processors, e-mail, World Wide Web, group support systems, hospital information systems) under different situations (e.g., time and culture) with different control factors (e.g., gender, organizational type and size) and with different subjects (e.g., undergraduate students, MBA recipients, and knowledge workers), proving their robustness through several tests and replications.…”

What Does the Skin Tell Us About Information Systems Usage? A Literature-Based Analysis of the Utilization of Electrodermal Measurement for IS Research

“…This mental effort occurs mainly in short-term working memory [50]. Additionally, IS literature shows that IT usage is over time a function of habit rather than of conscious intentions [50,[54][55][56][57]. Habits activate technology use without any conscious effort, because information is stored in implicit long-term memory [50].…”

To email or not to email: The impact of media on psychophysiological responses and emotional content in utilitarian and romantic communication

“…The choice to send an email likely triggers an emotional reaction in the sender, but also the message recipient as he or she composes a response. Flaming in email (Polites & Karahanna, 2013) may not only be caused by poor message content, but also by the emotions that composing email induces which may spill over into the message content.…”

“…Whether due to limitations of the technology (e.g., the inability to convey vocal tone) or cultural norms, some media are considered less appropriate for some types of communication (Kock, 2004;Sussman & Sproull, 1999). For example, email and text chat are considered poor for communicating emotion (Byron, 2008;Hancock, Landrigan, & Silver, 2007) because they may increase interpersonal conflict (Polites & Karahanna, 2013), yet other research shows they are suitable for building interpersonal relationships (Walther, 1996).…”
