A Research Agenda TowardA Better Conceptualization of IT Use

摘要

IT use is a primary concept that should be clarified carefully since it is a major concept in several existing IS theoreticalrnmodels such as the Technology Acceptance Model, Task-Technology Fit, and IS Success model. Unfortunately, most studiesrndefine this concept too simply. This can constrain our understandings of IT impacts. Therefore, it is necessary tornconceptualize IT use and explore its multiple dimensions. This research attempts to formulate a research agenda for thisrnpurpose. Using activity theory and other related theories, we propose a research framework to conceptualize IT use and arnmulti-item scale to measure it.
