چکیده
The main goal of this current study is to contribute to the cognitive Information Systems (IS) literature by examining the effect of individuals’ focus ability and mind-wandering in influencing IS task performance at different levels of task complexity. The effects of focus ability and mind-wandering on IS task performance as well as the moderating roles of IS task complexity were examined in a laboratory experiment. The experimental results show that (1) higher task complexity leads to lower IS task performance; (2) under low task complexity, focus ability and mind-wandering do not have any significant effects on task performance; (3) under medium task complexity, focus ability leads to higher performance accuracy, but mind-wandering does not have a significant effect on performance accuracy; (4) under high task complexity, both focus ability and mind-wandering lead to higher performance accuracy. Furthermore, mind-wandering negatively influences performance efficiency under all levels of IS task complexity.
