The notion of knowledge internalization (KI), albeit a critical link in Nonaka's (1994) organizational knowledge creation theory, has not been rigorously conceptualized and defined, let alone operationalized. To strengthen the foundation for knowledge management (KM) research, we attempt to fulfill the following research objectives in the three essays of this dissertation. In the first essay, by drawing from Anderson (1983)'s ACT (adaptive control of thought) theory and Glaser et al. (1985)'s framework on the dimensions of cognitive skills, we develop the construct of KI and demonstrate its nomological validity by examining its role in knowledge sharing phenomenon through its relationships …

Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) research, which pertains to how an information system can be initially adopted by members of an organization, was born two decades ago and grows into one of the pivotal theoretical foundations of the information systems (IS) discipline. However, many IS scholars indicate that recent TAM research fail to break the 20-years-old confinement and provide little intellectual value.To respond to this call for more intellectual depth in TAM research, this dissertation suggests multiple ways to rejuvenate the research stream. First, Bhattacherjee's IS use continuance model (2001), which is based on the Expectation-Disconfirmation Theory, was adopted as the …

Test driven development (TDD) requires the developer to create the test suite before designing and writing the application program. Unlike traditional software development practices, in TDD test development precedes application development. Such a practice also redefines the role of the developer. Lately, TDD is growing in popularity as a part of Agile methodologies. There is a critical need for rigorous empirical research to understand the role and impact of TDD as a software development practice. The goal of this dissertation research is to fill this gap. We conducted a Laboratory Experiment to understand the influence of TDD on the outcomes …

Our testing and comparisons give insight into the dynamics of health information technology and provide specific direction for practitioners and future …
The Effect Of Leadership Style On Cio Effectiveness, Kishen Parthasarathy Iyengar
The Effect Of Leadership Style On Cio Effectiveness, Kishen Parthasarathy Iyengar
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive
While IS researchers have often opined that leadership is important, a theoretical examination of leadership in the CIO context is lacking. We examine Leadership style in the light of the transformational leadership theory and its impact on organizational level variables such as CIO Role Effectiveness and IT ambidexterity, and individual level variables such as Leader-Member Exchange Relationship and the subordinate's general job satisfaction. Results indicate that contingent rewarding style impacted CIO role effectiveness, which in turn predicted IT ambidexterity. Transformational leadership was the strongest predictor of Leader-Member Exchange relationship, which in turn impacted job satisfaction.

A Two-Order Effect Model Of It Business Value: Theoretical Development And Empirical Test, Vishnu Vinekar
A Two-Order Effect Model Of It Business Value: Theoretical Development And Empirical Test, Vishnu Vinekar
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive
A new model for IT Business Value is proposed and empirically validated from longitudinal panel data. We posit that IT has a first-order effect that includes automating, and a second-order effect that is more dependent on informating. Our empirical results demonstrate that IT's contribution to firm performance is mediated via its impacts on productivity, which corresponds to the first-order effect. We further developed and validated a complex but parsimonious moderated-mediation model to show that these paths to business value from IT vary depending on industry information intensity, environmental dynamism, and environmental munificence.

If the reader would imagine a 500 piece picture puzzle of which only one single piece is available for research, then it is obvious that any conclusions concerning the puzzle as a whole would at the very best be limited to what the researcher could extrapolate from that single piece of the puzzle. This study contends that to comprehend the puzzle it must be viewed as a whole picture, admittedly comprised of different pieces, but nonetheless only accurately understandable in regard to interaction and interconnectivities when viewed from a macro perspective. Accordingly, concentrations should be viewed from a holistic, macro …

Towards A Systemic View Of Organizational Dynamic It Capability: An Empirical Assessment, Anurag Jain
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive
In an increasingly complex world characterized by hyper-competition and turbulence, an organization's ability to sustain its competitive advantages depends not only on how it acquires its capabilities, but also on how it orchestrates the relationships among them. While the resource based view of the firm and the literature on dynamic capabilities have provided strategic insights to the successful deployment and expeditious management of scarce resources, there is very little research on dynamic capabilities from an IT perspective. In particular, there is no common understanding of what the phrase "dynamic IT capability" means or how it can be achieved. This study …

Knowledge sharing has been identified as the key enabler of knowledge management. To leverage knowledge resources and to support knowledge sharing, organizations are employing knowledge management systems. While knowledge management systems are important, practical implementations have found that technology alone cannot guarantee that knowledge will be shared. The objective of this research study was to examine factors that promote or discourage knowledge sharing behaviors of knowledge workers in the organizational context. Drawing from multiple streams of research including social psychology, organizational learning, knowledge management, information systems and so forth, this research developed an integrated theoretical model and unveiled three sets …
An Empirical Examination Of The Influence Of Information Technology And Trust On Supply Chain Dyad Relationships And Performance, Anil Singh
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive
Reacting to increased competition, companies are adopting inter-organizational information systems (IOS) that share information across the supply chain partners. This sharing requires trust. To better understand the phenomenon of trust between partners, we develop an integrated model of trust in supply chains with theoretical underpinnings of transaction cost economics and environmental factors like Information Technology and Power. The framework also takes into consideration; the association between trust and final outcome measures such as performance and satisfaction through supply chain relationship. By assessing the interconnectedness of trust in inter-organizational information systems, with environmental factors, our research model will help researchers as …
