Adoption of OIS by four groups of office workers: an analysis from the perspective of innovation diffusion theory

Published: 01 June 1993 Publication History

Abstract

This paper analyzes the adoption of six different applications of an integrated office information system (OIS) by four categories of office workers: managers, project engineers, professionals, and secretaries over a three-year time period. The data show a substantial variance across time, workgroups, and applications, in terms of adoption rates and perceptions of technology. The results suggest a model for predicting technology adoption in the long run, based on initial adoption rates and perceptions of technology.
