Electrosurgery was first described in great detail by A.J. McLean, who provided histological analysis and interpretation of the healing process in various animal tissues subjected to electrosurgery [1]. McLean also extensively studied principles regarding current density and heat transfer governing the effects of electrical current on tissue [1]. Since its initial description, electrosurgery ha...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the success (by measuring intention to use and user satisfaction) of the online public grievance redressal system (OPGRS) from the perspective of the citizens of India. This is the first time that the success of this e-government system is examined using an IS success model. The model developed includes the constructs such as system quality, information q...

In a classic result in the mechanism design literature, Cremer and McLean (1985) show that if buyers’ valuations are sufficiently correlated, a mechanism exists that allows the seller to extract the full surplus from efficient allocation as revenue. This result is commonly seen as “too good to be true” (in practice), casting doubt on its modeling assumptions. In this paper, we use an automated ...

Two forces that dramatically affect the sustainability of firms’ competitive advantage in the new competitive landscape have been identified as globalization and information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as the Internet and intranets (e.g., Castells, 2000; Porter, 2001). Organizations often rely on acquired knowledge from past experiences to make higher quality decisions on busine...

The aim of this study is to propose and discuss a conceptual model to identify the factors responsible for influencing the adoption and success of human resource information systems (HRIS) in public sector organizations in Saudi Arabia. It reviews empirical studies of IT adoption and success at the user level in general and with particular reference to HRIS adoption and success. While a few stu...

Based on a survey data from 361 public employees and suppliers in Taiwan, this study employed the updated DeLone and McLean Information Systems (IS) Success Model to measure e-government procurement (e-GP) system success and assess the moderating effect of computer self-efficacy on users’ judgment of IS success. Results showed that information quality, system quality, and service quality had a ...

As the number of online communities (OCs) continues to increase, it is critical for an OC to satisfy users’ needs in order to encourage and retain their voluntary participation and contribution over time. Consistent with the IS Success model, we argue that information quality and system quality are two important antecedents of OC user satisfaction. However, little IS research has systematically...
