It is international in all respects: content, authors’ origin, readers’ origin, and the editorial board. The journal was established in January 1998 and completed 25 years of publication in 2022. In celebration, this study presents a comprehensive and historical overview of the leading trends of the journal since its inception. The bibliographic data was retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed with the help of the R software. This analysis considers indicators such as the most cited articles, productive authors, influential authors, leading institutes, top countries publishing in JGITM, co-citation networks, and keyword analysis. The study also develops a graphical visualization of the networks of bibliographic data. This graphical visual helps to analyze co-citation and bibliographic coupling among the published research studies. Our results indicate a continuous and substantial increase in the quality of publications, impact factor, and a growing interest in publishing articles in the journal by a broader community of academicians and scholars. We hope this information will be of significant value to JGITM’s audience: the readers and past and future authors.","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":"60 1","pages":"181 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89882150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thatcher","doi":"10.1080/1097198x.2023.2237377","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1097198x.2023.2237377","url":null,"abstract":"Imagine, for a moment, that you are a software developer for a major bank. Things were different when you started some 20 years ago. Everyone came to work at the office. You discussed development projects with your team face to face, sometimes in formal meetings, sometimes just in casual chats. You had desks near each other. People went to lunch together from time to time or grabbed a drink after work on occasion. Some of your colleagues were “work friends,” if not actual friends. You lived in the same area, commuted to the same office, and had some good times together. Time passed and things changed. Some colleagues left for greener pastures. A few got promoted into managerial roles. Some retired. Instead of directly replacing many of those that left or retired, your employer now supplements IT work with contract labor sourced internationally from a country about a dozen time zones away. You have an IT contractor that is assigned to work with you, and you’re supposed to enhance your own productivity by giving them tasks that help you get your projects done. Understandably, there is a bit of a language and culture barrier, but you like them, and they work hard. They’ve been very upfront about appreciating the work and opportunity. Still, this isn’t really what you had in mind when you picked a career in software development – you never wanted to be a manager, even of just one person. You want your contractor to have work so they can help support their family, but you didn’t want to be responsible for someone else’s welfare. They regularly ask you for more work. Sometimes you have something else you can give them, and sometimes you don’t. You feel bad when you don’t. Also, if you’re honest, usually their work is solid, but sometimes it . . . isn’t. So you must consider how important something is before handing it off, because you need to do the critical work yourself. This isn’t the only thing that’s different now. More and more people started working remotely, but this really boomed post-Covid. Now, pretty much everyone works remotely. Given the new paradigm and how little you need to go in, you recently moved over an hour from the office. Meetings are all on Zoom and don’t happen that often. When they do happen, your team lead is the only one who turns their camera on. Occasionally. What used to be daily chats and a regular lunch with long-time work friends is now the occasional e-mail with newer colleagues who you have yet to meet in person. It’s not all bad, obviously. Your work-life balance is great, and, in general, you feel happier than ever. You still get just as much done, if not more. However, you don’t have a stressful commute, you have incredibly flexible hours, and you’ve realized how much more you can focus on your family and personal life when you don’t have to spend so much time in the office every week. Not being in the office much, you do wonder if you’ve become more expendable because you worry management now has you and your IT","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"173 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90338256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research reveals that enterprise-wide adoption is a challenge for businesses. Research indicates that culture is one of the impediments to enterprise-wide adoption. Thus, a deeper understanding of the cultural influence on organizational readiness will help organizations plan more effectively. Schwartz’s cultural framework was used in a quantitative study to investigate the intention to use ESM at various levels in multiple countries. The participants’ responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling, including multiple group analysis. The test results suggest significant effects of autonomy and egalitarianism on individuals’ intention to adopt ESM. However, contrary to previous research, the effects of egalitarianism were found to be negative. This study emphasizes the importance of cultural values in shaping individuals’ intentions to use ESM, which contributes to organizational readiness for ESM adoption. The findings of this study provide organizations with awareness of cultural influences on intention to use ESM and can help organizations identify potential barriers to ESM adoption readiness.","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"145 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79332687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These astronomical numbers from the World Health Organization’s March 16, 2023 report reflect the catastrophic impact coronavirus disease (COVID-19), an infectious disease that is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has had on our world. Although the effects have decreased in recent times, they continue to be significant. Based on a quick analysis of publicly available data, 26906 individuals died across the world due to COVID-19 in the 28-day period from February 16, 2022, to March 15, 2023, i.e., a daily average of 961. Moreover, the number of daily deaths has declined in all six continents. During the same period, about 3.92 million new cases were confirmed, for a daily average of about 140,000. The number of confirmed cases has been dropping since February 2022, both worldwide and in five of the six continents. Asia continues to have an increasing number of confirmed cases. However, this continuing rise in confirmed cases is largely influenced by China, which has shown a continuing rapid increase in the number of cases; the rest of Asia is similar to the other five continents with declining number of cases. Amidst this global pandemic, which has caused worldwide economic problems and has been viewed as “a tipping point of historic proportions” (McKinsey, 2020), information technology (IT) has played a prominent role, with significant effects on individuals as well as organizations. This editorial examines some of those effects, including some that could be viewed as positive, and some that could be seen as negative.","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":" 12","pages":"83 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72383528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most technology adoption research has been carried out in on ecommerce across countries, this study focuses on introducing novel constructs with a mix of cross-cultural study. The present study therefore uses a sample mix from a developed nation (the USA) and a developing nation (India) to explore the e-commerce adoption factors. In this study, the supportive factors of perceived trust are hypothesized as causal factors for e-commerce adoption and studied with USA and India results. The factors considered in the proposed model are: hedonic motivation; comparison shopping; and perceived trust (further classified as honesty, benevolence, and competence). The study used Amazon’s MTurk to collect data from Indian (n = 471) and US (n = 440) respondents. The results of the multi-group moderation technique reveal that honesty, comparison shopping, and hedonic motivation were stronger for the US sample, while benevolence and comfort were stronger for the Indian sample. Based on the results, theoretical contributions, managerial implications, and future research directions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":"40 1","pages":"91 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74434565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative data gathered from interviews and documentation from supply-side stakeholders were analyzed to better understand the drivers for, and barriers to, the successful implementation of e-Government initiatives. Based on the existing literature, a novel conceptual framework was used to guide the data collection and analysis process. This enabled the presence of previously identified drivers and barriers for e-Government initiatives to be assessed in the context of both countries. The study was also able to surface new and additional factors influencing e-Government implementation, which have not been previously identified within the e-Government research literature, namely Administration/Leadership, e-Readiness, and Communication. The research findings enabled practical and actionable recommendations to those leading e-Government initiatives in Jamaica to improve implementation by overcoming forces that hinder progress. The findings from this study are limited as the research draws on data from limited sources in just two countries.","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"116 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76776560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this literature often produces divergent, likely context-dependent, results and tends to be limited to developed economies. As a result, we have only partial knowledge about how IT use impacts product innovation. This study rectifies that deficiency and resolves prior divergent findings by employing fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to investigate the contingent effects of IT use for exploration and exploitation on product innovation in China, which is transitioning from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. We draw on a unique sample of 262 Chinese manufacturing firms that responded to the World Bank’s Enterprise Survey and developed several configurations of conditions where IT use fostered product innovation depending on the institutional characteristics of a transitional economy, specifically its degree of market competitiveness and legal enforcement. Our findings share similarities to prior studies set in developed economies, while demonstrating features unique to a transition economy. Using a configurational approach reveals the combinational and asymmetric relationships among IT use, the institutional environment, and resultant product innovation. This helps understand situational characteristics often unexamined in prior studies and complements the findings from regression-based studies.","PeriodicalId":45982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Technology Management","volume":"117 1","pages":"25 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80208476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
