The impact of work system reconceptualization and motivation on information technology infusion

The nature of IT Infusion and the relationship between task redesign, herein termed Work System Reconceptualization and IT Infusion has received scant attention from researchers examining post-innovation adoption behaviors. In this paper, these two constructs are conceptually developed and a model describing their relationship, as well as the impact of Individual Motivation upon IT Infusion, of advanced information technologies is presented. In addition, a modification of the six stage model of innovation implementation is presented to include Work System Reconceptualization as a necessary condition to achieve IT Infusion.
