Examining Multiple Dimensions of Task Technology Fit

چکیده
Investigating the fit of an information technology to a user’s task, known as task-technology fit (TTF), is a frequent focus of HCI/MIS research. In such research, “fit as moderation”, one of Venkatraman’s (1989) six conceptualizations of fit, is common. This conceptualization assumes two variables, e.g., task and technology, and an outcome variable. Task and technology, however, have multiple dimensions that should be considered when investigating fit. We examine three methods HCI/MIS researchers have used for augmenting the fit as moderation conceptualization for multiple dimensions. We propose and test a new method involving a single PLS model capturing the multiple dimensions of fit, which is more consistent with Venkatraman’s (1989) original conceptualization and statistical model for fit as moderation than those currently in the literature. Our method as compared against one method in the literature, using a separate model for each dimension, works at least as well.

Evaluating Task-Technology Fit and User Performance for an Electronic Health Record System
Assessing user satisfaction, acceptance and performance impacts of information systems have long traditions in information systems research. With an increasing focus on broader adoption and implementation of electronic health records (EHR’s), research examining user evaluation and performance impacts will play an essential role in the successful design, implementation, and efficient use of thes...
متن کاملA Theory of Task/Technology Fit and Group Support Systems Effectiveness
of task complexity and their relationship to relevant dimensions of GSS technology. Propositions to guide further research are developed from the theory. Abstract The characteristics of a group's task have been shown to account for more than half the variation in group interaction. In the context of group support systems (GSS), the importance of task has been underscored by the recommendation t...
متن کاملUnderstanding Customers' Willingness to Participate in Co-Creation: The Fit Perspective
Social media that allow users to share, create, discuss, and exchange user-generated contents have opened up the potential for co-creation. However, because of social media's the nature of ubiquitous connectivity, customers are involved in a short-term relationship in which customers can choose to interact with multiple firms and switch one firm to another with relatively little effort and cost...
متن کاملInter-Group Collaboration: Factoring Technology Characteristics and Task Type
The purpose of this paper is to extend the theory of task/technology fit by exploring the impact of different technology characteristics on performance of preference and intellective tasks in an inter-group context. The authors tested 80 participants on group performance using a 2x2 factorial design with task type and mode of collaboration as the independent variables. Structural equation model...
