The notion of technological adoption such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been examined in various domains such as supply chain management, inventory management and health care. However, there are several unanswered questions surrounding how this technology is adopted in disaster management. This study attempts to explore the potential of RFID in disaster management. The notion of Task- Technology Fit (TTF) is deemed suitable for this purpose and thus used as the theoretical framework that is further validated by employing multiple case studies. The empirical findings indicate that there are six key factors influencing the decision to adopt RFID in disaster management. Some relate to aspects of RFID when it is put into practice, namely cost, compatibility, standardisation, implementation and locatability; while the other key factor relates to privacy and security aspect of information. It is hoped that the findings of this research will inform disaster management organizations to better plan the adoption of RFID for their operations. The notion of technological adoption such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been examined

This study identified factors related to the technological characteristics of conversational generative AI services and the user's task characteristics. Then, it analyzed the effects of task-technology fit on user satisfaction and continued use. The effects of trust, which represents the degree of users' belief in the information provided by generative AI, on task-technology fit, user satisfaction, and user continuance intention were also examined. A survey was conducted among users of various age groups, and 198 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 to validate the proposed model. As a result of hypothesis testing, it was confirmed that language fluency and interactivity among technology characteristics and ambiguity among task characteristics significantly affect user satisfaction and intention to continue using via task-technology fit. However, creativity among skill characteristics and time flexibility among task characteristics did not significantly affect task-technology fit, and trust did not directly affect task-technology fit and intention to continue using, but only positively affected user satisfaction. The results of this study can provide meaningful implications for vendors who want to develop and provide conversational generative AI services or companies who want to adopt generative AI technology to improve business productivity.

The ubiquitous accessibility of information through mobile devices has led to an increased mobility of workers from their fixed workplaces. Market researchers estimate that by 2016, 350 million workers will be using their smartphones for business purposes, and the use of smartphones will offer new business benefits. Enterprises are now adopting mobile technologies for numerous applications to increase their operational efficiency, improve their responsiveness and competitiveness, and cultivate their innovativeness. For these reasons, various organizational aspects concerning “mobile work” have received a great deal of recent attention. Moreover, many CIOs plan to allocate a considerable amount of their budgets mobile work environments. In particular, with the consumerization of information technology, enterprise mobile applications (EMA) have played a significant role in the explosive growth of mobile computing in the workplace, and even in improving sales for firms in this field. EMA can be defined as mobile technologies and role-based applications, as companies design them for specific roles and functions in organizations. Technically, EMA can be defined as business enterprise systems, including critical business functions that enable users to access enterprise systems via wireless mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets. Specifically, EMA enables employees to have greater access to real-time information, and provides them with simple features and functionalities that are easy for them to complete specific tasks. While the impact of EMA on organizational workers’ productivity has been given considerable attention in various literatures, relatively little research effort has been made to examine how EMA actually lead to users’ job performance. In particular, we have a limited understanding of what the key antecedents are of such an EMA usage outcome. In this paper, we focus on employees’ perceived job performance as the outcome of EMA use, which indicates the successful role of EMA with regard to employees’ tasks. Thus, to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship among EMA, its environment, and employees’ perceived job performance, we develop a comprehensive model that considers the perceived-fit between EMA and employees’ tasks, satisfaction on EMA, and the organizational environment. With this model, we try to examine EMA to explain how job performance through EMA is revealed from both the task- technology fit for EMA and satisfaction on EMA, while also considering the antecedent factors for these constructs. The objectives of this study are to address the following research questions: (1) How can employees successfully manage EMA in order to enhance their perceived job performance? (2) What internal and/or external factors are important antecedents in increasing EMA users’ satisfaction on MES and task- technology fit for EMA? (3) What are the impacts of organizational (e.g. organizational agility), and task- related antecedents (e.g., task mobility) on task-technology fit for EMA? (4) What are the impacts of internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external antecedents (e.g., system reputation) for the habitual use of EMA?Based on a survey from 254 actual employees who use EMA in their workplace across industries, our results indicate that task-technology fit for EMA and satisfaction on EMA are positively associated with job performance. We also identify task mobility, organizational agility, and system accessibility that are found to be positively associated with task-technology fit for EMA. Further, we find that external factor, such as the reputation of EMA, and internal factor, such as self-efficacy for EMA that are found to be positively associated with the satisfaction of EMA. The present findings enable researchers and practitioners to understand the role of EMA, which facilitates organizational workers' efficient work processes, as well as the importance of task-technology fit for EMA. Our model provides a new set of antecedents and consequence variables for a TAM involving mobile applications. The research model also provides empirical evidence that EMA are important mobile services that positively influence individuals’ performance. Our findings suggest that perceived organizational agility and task mobility do have a significant influence on task-technology fit for EMA usage through positive beliefs about EMA, that self-efficacy and system reputation can also influence individuals’ satisfaction on EMA, and that these factors are important contingent factors for the impact of system satisfaction and perceived job performance. Our findings can help managers gauge the impact of EMA in terms of its contribution to job performance. Our results provide an explanation as to why many firms have recently adopted EMA for efficient business processes and productivity support. Our findings additionally suggest that the cognitive fit between task and technology can be an important requirement for the productivity support of EMA. Further, our study findings can help managers in formulating their strategies and building organizational culture that can affect employees perceived job performance. Managers, thus, can tailor their dependence on EMA as high or low, depending on their task’s characteristics, to maximize the job performance in the workplace. Overall, this study strengthens our knowledge regarding the impact of mobile applications in organizational contexts, technology acceptance and the role of task characteristics. To conclude, we hope that our research inspires future studies exploring digital productivity in the workplace and/or taking the role of EMA into account for employee job performance.

Growth in the device field is driven by various emerging devices, tablet PC are among the most recognizable.

The balanced scorecard(BSC) framework is a tool for strategic decision making and task support that aims for efficiency in performance management and strategy execution. BSC evolved from an old performance management practice, which tended to be limited to a finance-only perspective, to a new system of corporate management looking at corporate tasks from a multi-dimensional, future-inclined value perspective. This form of BSC amounts to a framework capable of driving management innovation and renewing the ways in which companies conceive their strategy and perform their operations. Since BSC draws integrally on user participation, it can be expected that users’ satisfaction with BSC systems is an important factor in systems’ success or failure. However, previous studies of the BSC system have not yet considered it as a theoretical model, specifically examining BSC system and task characteristics. To date, only a few studies have put forward plans for the implementation and use of BSC systems, and these studies have the common limitation of failing to consider the circumstances or theoretical structure of the companies for which a BSC system is being proposed. This paper then begins to fill some of this gap by characterizing the BSC system from the perspective of contingency theories. Contingency theories can be particularly useful in the Korean context in exploring how different companies use the BSC system in ways determined by their unique environmental characteristics, which may also determine the performance factors behind the application of a company’s particular BSC system. In order to provide concrete suggestions for implanting and using the BSC system from a contingency theory perspective, this study sets out to determine the relationships between the contingency variables affecting BSC system performance and BSC system property variables(in given cases) through an empirical analysis. The study takes into account the perspective from which contingency theory is to be applied in individual cases, sets contingency and BSC property variables with reference to the BSC system user’s environment and BSC system’s character, and frames initial hypotheses concerning corporate structure and environmental variables and BSC system performance variables with reference to previous studies. A survey was then conducted on users in Korean companies that have implemented the BSC system in order to verify the research model and understand results.

The objective of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of the factors that lead to the development and adoption of AI-based chatbots. We analyze the structural relationship between the organizational (externalities), systematic (fit), and the consumer-related (psychological) factors and their role in the adoption of AI-based chatbots. Founded on the theories of task-technology fit and network externalities, we present a conceptual model overlooking common perception-based theories (e.g., Technology Acceptance Model). We collected 380 responses from Indian banking consumers to test the model using the PLS-SEM method. Interestingly, the findings present a positive impact of all factors on consumers’ intention to adopt AI-based chatbots. However, the interplays between these factors provide a mixed perspective for literature. Apart from employing a combination of factors that have been used to study technology adoption, our study explores the importance of externalities and their relationship with fit factors, a unique outlook often overlooked by prior research. Moreover, we offer a clear understanding of latent variables such as trust, and the intricacies of their interplays in a novel context. Thereby, the study offers implications for literature and practice, followed by future research directions.

연구목적 : 건설산업은 복잡한 공정 구조와 다수의 참여 주체로 인해 재해 위험이 높은 대표적 고위험 산업이다. 최근 스마트건설기술 도입이 확산되고 있으나, 기술 특성과 기술수용 요인이 실제 안전성과로 이어지는 구조적 경로에 대한 실증 분석은 제한적이다. 본 연구는 스마트건설기술을 개별 기술이 아닌 기술 특성 체계로 정의하고, 기술수용 요인과의 관계를 통해 안전성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 규명하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 기술수용모형(TAM)과 과업–기술 적합성 이론(TTF)을 통합한 연구모형을 설정하고, 구조방정식모형(SEM)을 활용하여 건설현장 종사자를 대상으로 수집한 설문자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 : 분석 결과, 기술수용 요인 중 TTF2는 스마트건설기술 특성(ATM)에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미친 반면(β = 0.457), TTF1은 부(–)의 영향을 나타내어(β = −0.494) 기술수용 요인의 차별적 작동 양상이 확인되었다. 반면, 스마트건설기술 특성은 안전성과(sPP)에 매우 강한 직접 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며(β = 0.924), 기술수용 요인을 통한 매개 효과는 제한적인 수준에 그쳤다.결론 : 스마트건설기술을 통한 안전성과 제고는 사용자 인식 변화보다는 기술의 통합성, 자동화, 지속성 등 기술 특성의 현장 구현 수준에 의해 보다 직접적으로 결정되는 것으로 해석된다.

Purpose:The construction industry is a high-risk sector characterized by complex processes and multiple stakeholders. While smart construction technologies are increasingly adopted, empirical evidence explaining how technology characteristics and acceptance factors translate into safety performance remains limited. This study aims to conceptualize smart construction technology as a system of technology characteristics and to empirically examine its impact on safety performance through technology acceptance mechanisms. Method:An integrated analytical framework combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Task–Technology Fit (TTF) theory was developed. Survey data collected from construction site practitioners were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Result:The results show that one dimension of task–technology fit (TTF2) has a significant positive effect on smart construction technology characteristics (β = 0.457), whereas another dimension (TTF1) has a significant negative effect (β = −0.494). In contrast, technology characteristics exert a strong direct influence on safety performance (β = 0.924), while the mediating effects of technology acceptance factors are relatively limited..Conclusion:These findings indicate that improvements in construction safety performance depend more on the practical implementation level of smart construction technology characteristics—such as integration and automation—than on changes in user perceptions alone.

This study takes a quantitative approach to the influence of TTF (Task-Technology Fit) on the individual's use and performance of GSS (Group Support Systems), while traditional studies on TTF have taken the experimental approach to explore the characteristic fit between diverse tasks and technologies. We have the following two research inquires: Are the IS use and performance maximized when information technologies are provided by the exact amount of demand?; and, Does TTF at the high level between task and IT produce better IS use (or performance) than at the low level? To investigate these issues, we use the polynomial regression analysis and response surface methodology of Edwards (1993) instead of traditional direct measure of TTF. This method measures the degree of desired and actual level of information technologies in conducting tasks, and traces the dynamic changes of dependent variables (IS use and performance) according to the variances of each independent variable. Our results conclude that user's IS use and performance are maximized when information technologies are actually provided by no more or less than the desired level. We also found that TTF at the high level promotes better IS use and performance than TTF at the low level.
