The ICT adoption in enterprises in the context of the sustainable information society

Abstract

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.

The ICT Adoption in Government Units in the Context of the Sustainable Information Society

“…With regard to the presented results, it is reasonable to conclude that this study expands the existing research on the SIS provided by Schauer [7], Fuchs [1], [2], Hilty et al [4], [5], Guillemette, Paré [14, [15], and Curry and Donnellan [12], [13] by presenting the levels of ICT adoption and sustainability as well as identifying how the ICT adoption influence sustainability. The research outputs are also complementary with findings related to the effect of ICT adoption on sustainability in enterprises [21], [22], [23] and households [48]. Summarizing up-to-date research findings, it can therefore be concluded that the ICT quality, ICT management, and information culture within enterprises and households have a significant impact on sustainability, whereas in government units only the ICT quality and information culture influence sustainability.…”

“…A composite index for the SIS with subindexes of ICT adoption and sustainability in government units should be explored. In addition comparisons between government units and enterprises [21], [22], [23] may be made.…”

“…Ziemba [21], [22], [23] merely proposed a SIS model composed of the ICT adoption and sustainability, and evaluated the contribution of ICT adoption to sustainability in Polish enterprises. Following an extensive review of the literature, it can be stated that it did not uncover any deep studies identifying levels of ICT adoption and sustainability in government units nor there were any findings that interpret how the ICT adoption in government units improves sustainability.…”
