- Abstract
Employees’ usage behavior of information systems post-adoption has been regarded as an important issue in the field of information systems adoption. Prior most studies primarily examine cognitive factors. This paper argues that employees should be embedded in the social network of the organizational unit, and their interactions with coworkers can contribute to getting more help and capture about information systems’ reasonable exploitation and exploration. Draw from related studies on social network, constructs of valued network density and valued network centrality are conceptualized and measured. We combine constructs from individual-level information systems post-adoption research with social network constructs to propose the research model. With 4-month longitudinal study in one business unit within a large-scale enterprise, we take the empirical study to analyze to collected valid data. The results confirm our hypotheses that social network constructs have the positive influence on the individual-level information system innovative usage behavior.
