Determinants of Fit: Task, Technology, and Content

摘要

Task technology fit (TTF) has received academic attention as a user evaluation construct, which in turn has been widely usedas a measure of information systems success. One of the key concerns in the TTF literature has been the properconceptualization and measurement of fit. However, some TTF constructs still do not seem to measure fit, and others that domeasure fit are not organized in any kind of way that can promote a deeper understanding of task technology fit. To addressthis problem, existing TTF constructs are re-evaluated, and an alternative task technology fit model is developed. Thisresearch in progress paper proposes content characteristics as a new determinant of fit, and introduces three new dimensionsof fit: task match, ease of use, and ease of learning.
