A Design Science Approach for Developing Information Systems Research Instruments

The dominant approach to developing research instruments in information systems research has focused on assessing how well the instrument captures the construct (its validity and reliability), rather than how useful the instrument is for guiding practice (its practical utility). This paper outlines how an iterative design science research approach, with its emphasis on evaluating the utility of...
