Reflecting Attitude In It Adoption Research - Theoretical Considerations And Scientometric Evaluations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Users’ attitudes depict one of the main determinants, why individuals use information systems. However, in the basic theoretical understanding of social psychology research attitude could be shaped in two different ways; attitude formation and attitude change. Within this paper, both attitude research streams are theoretically reflected as well as observed in IT adoption literature using data of a scientometric analysis of the following 14 top journals of the IS field according to several journal rankings. The results represent a domination of attitude formation and show that 90% of the articles applied this form. Additionally, it could be revealed that the Theories of Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior are the most applied underlyings for attitude formation. Furthermore, two interesting aspects could be outlined. Concerning attitude change, besides being by definition a construct to describe dynamic structures with a process-based measurement, 44% of the articles found used underlying theories for static structures with a moment-based measurement.

User's Attitude - Contemporary Reflections of an Old Concept
User’s attitude is a central construct in IT adoption models. Based on the Theories of Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior the affect-based attitude scales adapted by Davis et al. 1989 in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) have remained basically unchanged ever since. However, scientometric results from MISQ and ISR from 1989-2010 resulting in a total of 37 articles indicate that 26% of att...

Understanding user’s attitudes represents one of the major objectives in IS adoption research. However, in some IS adoption models, as the most famous representative the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the relationship between user’s attitude and behavioral intention was found to be insignificant and was therefore excluded from later modifications of the respective models (e.g. TAM II and th...

An individual’s attitude has always been a core concept in IS research and a major determinant for individual technology adoption behavior. However, screening information systems (IS) and underlying social psychology literature reveals a onedimensional view on attitude as evaluative affect in IS research compared to three classes of attitude (affective, cognitive, and behavioral) in social psyc...
متن کاملAdoption of mobile commerce: a confidence model
This study was driven by three underlying motivations. One of them is the gap between high penetration rate of mobile phone and relatively low adoption rate of m-commerce. The second is to reconcile the inconsistent findings in prior IT adoption research regarding the consistency of the relationship between attitude and intention. Finally, we hope to provide the theoretical underpinning for var...
