In this study, we extend and combine the post-acceptance model (PAM), proposed by Bhattacherjee [Bhattacherjee, A. (2001). Understanding information systems continuance: An expectation-confirmation model. MIS Quarterly, 25(3), 351-370], with aspects of Goodhue and Thomson's theory of task-technology fit (TIFF). The original PAM emphasizes cognitive beliefs and user feelings as factors that may influence a person's intention to continue to use an information system (IS). The variables added from TTF are task-technology fit and utilization. The sample consists of data that measure use and use-related aspects of an e-learning tool among university college teachers. Using structural equation modeling, results indicate that variables from TTF as well as variables from PAM explain users' IS continuance intention. As a result of these findings, we propose the existence of two different and autonomous paths from the independent variables to the dependent variable of IS continuance intention. These two paths are: a work system-centric path through utilization of the information system, and an IT-centric path through user satisfaction. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Norwegian Conference on Information systems (NCIS - or NOKOBIT) has been arranged 14 times since 1993. In the spirit of classification studies, this article sums up NCIS' history through taking a closer look at its 222 contributions. We present demographic data on the articles and dive deeper into the question on what methods are used. An interesting trend found is that articles are increasingly multi-author and written in English. We find a healthy spread regarding methods employed; A comparable frequency of non-empirical and empirical articles is found, and the empirical methods used are dominantly survey, interview and case study - with a small number of other methods in between. The steady number of contributions to NCIS indicates that the conference will extend its activity into the foreseeable future.

Impact of Personal Innovativeness on the Use of the Internet Among Employees at Work p. 2011-2028

This paper investigates whether job-relevant use of the Internet by organizational members can be explained by personal innovativeness in information technology and other individual traits like age and experience with IT. To address this issue, the paper examines job relevant versus personal use of the Internet. The focus then turns to how personal innovativeness in information technology influences use of the Internet by organizational members. The results indicate that users perceive structural differences across various types of Internet usage areas, although no clear support for a distinction between job relevant and personal use was obtained in this study. Additionally, the findings show that the ratio of personal use is considerably lower than job relevant use. The test of how individual traits influence use of the Internet shows that the contribution from personal innovativeness has the greatest impact on employees use of the Internet.

The now familiar and longstanding discussion on the status of the field of management information systems (MIS) consists of at least two themes - the lack of coherence in MIS and the question of rigour vs. relevance (academic vs. practical concerns). The research questions we pose here ask: what themes or ideas represent the centre of MIS or its zones of coherence - or is diversity and fragmentation the rule? and will the centre or zones change over time? Within MIS research, is there evidence of theory building that contributes to a cumulative research tradition? Using a co-word analysis approach - to analyse the patterns in discourse by measuring the association strengths of terms representative of relevant publications - the researchers found 62 specific centres of coherence. The data documented a high degree of change in centres of coherence over time. Evidence of theory building was extremely weak. A cumulative research tradition remains elusive. MIS centres of coherence change over time - we think, partly in response to practical pressures. We suggest that MIS opens a richer and more difficult debate on its theory, practice, and identity as a discipline in the 21st century university.
