Examination of Hedonism in Tam Research

Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) remains a dominant model that is used extensively for addressing issues of user acceptance (Davis, 1989). Recently, hedonic nature of information systems was proposed as a boundary condition for TAM (van der Heijden, 2004). This paper attempts to review and evaluate the existing TAM research in light of this new boundary condition. This is accomplished b...

An Examination of Information Systems Development Methodologies Research in Australia

This paper assesses the current state of Information Systems Development Methodologies (ISDM) research in Australia, in what Avison and Fitzgerald (2003) refer to as ‘the post methodology era’. In doing so, it revisits the seminal work of Wynekoop and Russo (1997) by identifying and classifying a sample of Australian-based ISDM research, according to their research purpose and research method. ...

An Examination of Acquiescent Response Styles in Cross-Cultural Research

Response styles constitute a formidable challenge for cross-cultural research. In this article, three different response styles are discussed (acquiescence, extremity scoring, and social desirability). Acquiescence responding (ARS) is then integrated into a larger classical test theoretical framework, which allows for an examination of the various roles that ARS may play in cross-cultural resea...
