Abstract

A knowledge worker's goal commitment is critical to the success of system implementation in the organization. This paper investigates an individual's information formality motivation and social influence as important determinants in developing goal commitment in the system implementation based on the social psychology and information management literature. An empirical test of the proposed model was conducted in the field test (n = 148). PLS was used to analyze the model and supported the validity of the results. Social influence and information formality influence knowledge worker's goal commitment (R2 = 0.36) as expected. Social influence has a higher effect on goal commitment than information formality motivation. The results of this study will help us understand the antecedents of goal commitment in the system implementation based on the social influence theory and personal information management model. The paper includes implications for the designers and information system (IS) managers to effectively understand knowledge worker's goal commitment in the organization.

知识型员工信息形式动机、社会影响与目标承诺的实证研究

知识工作者的目标承诺对组织中系统实现的成功至关重要。本文以社会心理学和信息管理文献为基础，探讨了个体的信息形式动机和社会影响是制度实施中目标承诺形成的重要决定因素。在现场试验(n = 148)中对所提出的模型进行了实证检验。运用PLS对模型进行分析，支持结果的有效性。社会影响力和信息正式性对知识员工目标承诺的影响与预期一致(R2 = 0.36)。社会影响对目标承诺的影响高于信息形式动机。本研究的结果将有助于我们基于社会影响理论和个人信息管理模型来理解系统实施中目标承诺的前因由。本文对设计人员和信息系统(IS)管理者有效地理解组织中知识工作者的目标承诺具有启示意义。

期刊介绍： Global markets and competition have forced companies to operate in a physically distributed environment to take the advantage of benefits of strategic alliances between partnering firms. Earlier, information systems such as Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) have widely been used for functional integration within an organization. With global operations are in place, there is a need for suitable Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and E-Commerce (EC) for the integration of extended enterprises along the supply chain with the objective of achieving flexibility and responsiveness.
