“…For instance, in the organizational context, studies have found that bureaucratic structure restricts the adoption of technology (Hall & Khan, 2002) and ERP implementation (Morton & Hu, 2008). Baroudi and Lucas (1994) argue that bureaucracy creates bottlenecks, and technology can help remove it (Baroudi & Lucas, 1994). Similarly, studies have acknowledged the role of centralized organizational structure on knowledge management (Chen & Huang, 2007).…”

Cyberloafing, defined as the use of the Internet for personal use at the workplace, is emerging as a serious concern for organizations as it disrupts the attainment of organizational objectives. A systematic literature review, conducted as a part of this research, of antecedents of cyberloafing behaviour show that research exploring the relationship between the perception of organizational structure and cyberloafing is at a nascent stage. Acknowledging the underexplored state of research in this area, we investigated this relationship through a quantitative study using a sample of 201 employees, and the containment theory as the base. Our study results indicate that an ambivalent perception of the bureaucratic structure has a differential impact on the cyberloafing activities through serial mediation of two important attitudes, namely organizational identification and work engagement. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

“…Although we do not provide a literature review, we should note the bases of knowledge for our analysis and suggestions. Our analysis is informed by our reading of literatures on administrative burden (for a review of this literature, see Chittenden, Kauser, and Poutziouris ), red tape (Bozeman ; Bozeman and Feeney ), behavioral public administration (for a review of this literature, see Battaglio et al 2019), and electronic communications and management (Baroudi and Lucas ; Kyriakou and Loukis ). In one respect, these literatures have a common base—they are increasingly focused on the psychological and cognitive bases of behavior.…”

This Viewpoint essay examines university research administration and the use of software systems that automate university research grants and contract administration, including the automatic sending of emails for reporting and compliance purposes. These systems are described as "robotic bureaucracy." The rise of regulations and their contribution to administrative burden on university research have led university administrators to increasingly rely on robotic bureaucracy to handle compliance. This article draws on the administrative burden, behavioral public administration, and electronic communications and management literatures, which are increasingly focused on the psychological and cognitive bases of behavior. These literatures suggest that the assumptions behind robotic bureaucracy ignore the extent to which these systems shift the burden of compliance from administrators to researchers.

“…Provide support decision making process by using the stored data. ICT is becoming an essential part of the organizations with the increase investment on it (Baroudi & Lucas, 1994) as well as for individual behaviour. So, it could be stated that ICT has direct effect on organizational behaviour especially on organizational design, intelligence and decision making.…”

The development and use of Information and communication technology(ICT) is growing at a rapid speed across the world. The number of internet (as well as other technologies) users increased by 27,750% from 1993 (14 million) until 2017 (3,885,567,619) users according to internetworldstats. ICT is becoming essentials in all organization, and organizations cannot survive or compete without using these technologies. Although some researches were done on the effects of these technologies on organizations behaviours, they still in initial stages. The following article examine the effect of ICT on organizational behaviours, especially on Organizational Design how ICT changes the organizational structure and what are the organizations formed, Intelligence in what way knowledge is created and strategically used, and Decision Making how it will affect the speed and accuracy of decision making. Methods used in the article are scientific literature analysis, synthesis and comparison.
