Consumerization of information technology (IT) refers to consumer technologies finding their way into enterprises. In this context, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) describes the phenomenon of privatelyowned mobile devices being brought into organizations. While research on the general topic is scarce, initial studies have identified personal innovativeness in IT as one important driver for this be...

While there has been research on the diffusion of a particular type of innovation, few if any studies have examined the acceptance of a set of innovations (behavioral innovativeness) over time. This study using the Rasch methodology found evidence that computer hardware innovations are adopted in a particular order. The same could not be said for computer software, whose acceptance may be appli...

The current research attempted to investigate the significance of an adoption-capability model of e-commerce technologies (EC) in Small to Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in New Zealand (NZ). The research model hypothesised ten factors as significantly influencing EC adoption in SMEs: relative advantage, cost, compatibility, size, information intensity of products, support from technology vendo...

This paper utilizes the technology acceptance model (TAM) to uncover the moderating roles of technology innovativeness. A study of 158 undergraduate students revealed that the original TAM constructs and relationships were reliable, supported, and applicable in the measurement of e-book acceptance. Interestingly, personal technology innovativeness was found to moderate in a significant way, the...

The literature is inconclusive as to whether Marshallian specialization or Jacobian diversification externalities favour regional innovativeness. The specialization argument poses that regional specialization towards a particular industry improves innovativeness in that industry. Regional specialization allows for knowledge to spill over among similar firms. By contrast, the diversification the...

Prior information systems (IS) research has established that individual perceptions of technologies determine their usage behavior, which is a prerequisite for the realization of business value of IT innovations. Hence, it is of critical importance to understand what factors shape individual perceptions of technologies. Perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) derived from TAM...

Parental separation can be psychologically distressing for families; particularly when conflict between parents is high. In Australia, recent reforms to Family Law legislation have introduced mandatory mediation for litigants. Consequently, there is a burgeoning need for community-based family dispute resolution (FDR) services. Providers have responded to these needs with innovative solutions—i...

There is plenty of research on personality traits that explains its impact on human behaviors in different situations. However, there is sparse research available in the literature that explains how does personality traits affect innovativeness among individuals and satisfaction with life perceptions (subjective wellbeing). The current study proposes and empirically examines a conceptual model ...

The paper presents an explorative study on creative climate and innovativeness at the county level in the EU27. We explored a possibility to extend the Ekvall’s concept of creative climate for innovativeness from the level of individual organization to the national level. The main research goal was to identify fragments of national creative climate and to prove its relation to innovativeness. A...
