Process-Technology Fit: Extending Task-Technology Fit to Assess Enterprise Information Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research-in-progress paper, we investigate the fit between process and information technology (IT) and its impact on organizational process performance. A process-level fit model provides a greater understanding of enterprise IT than models focusing on group or task-level assessments. After reviewing related research, we identify and consolidate the process, task, and IT variables that have been found to be significant in influencing IT fit. Thereafter, we propose our process-technology fit (PTF) framework, which incorporates process-related, IT-related, and IT-use context variables in predicting process performance. Finally, a methodology for determining PTF is proposed. By understanding PTF, we hope to add an important dimension to explain enterprise IT usage, while helping organizations become more effective in supporting their business processes.

Assessing the interplay between information technologies, employees’ acceptance, organizational processes and operational tasks can be important in predicting the potential impact that a technology can have on the organization’s processes. The fit among these factors is crucial as organizations must have its employees’ acceptance of the technology and the technology must fit well with the under...
متن کاملThe Impact of Systems Development Expertise on Information Systems Development Methodology Use
Prior research on Task Technology Fit Theory (TTF) has found that task experience does not moderate perceptions of tasktechnology fit and does not directly affect technology usage. Additionally, researchers using TTF must develop new items to operationalize TTF constructs for each study. This study will reexamine the role of task experience in TTF within the context of systems development metho...
