New technology has changed how people do business. With rapid development of technology, it has been difficult for businesses and organizations to successfully implement technology advancements. This problem has spurred research in the area of technology acceptance. The Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989) is a dominant theory used to explain technology use. Although many researchers have copied, expanded, and altered this model through quantitative research, making it robust, this study will further the model by using qualitative methods to explore how members understand and classify technology use. This study adds to the existing knowledge of computer-mediated communication and technology acceptance by exploring information technology use within a volunteer or not-for-profit organization (NPO). In order to offer a unique perspective to exploring how organizational members understand and adopt new technology, this study employs qualitative methodology to a topic traditionally explored through quantitative surveys and measurements. Research questions specifically consider why organizational members accept or reject new technology and how organizational membership affects technology acceptance. Using the third iteration of the technology acceptance model (TAM 3), data confirm perceived usefulness and perceived ease as determinants of technology acceptance. The influencing factors of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were also confirmed. Two new influencing factors of perceived usefulness emerged in this study: appropriateness and information overload. Also, insight into the role of age and technology adoption calls into question stereotypical misconceptions of technology use and acceptance. Overall, this study confirms and expands on research in the area of technology acceptance.

We study three types of communication data--emails, phone calls, and meetings-in a modern IT firm. Using network descriptive statistics, we show how communication networks in an organization differ from random networks and other social networks. We also compare and contrast the three types of communication networks. Using Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP), Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure (MRQAP) and Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM), we identify significant factors affecting the size and shape of communication networks. These parameters include organizational structure, homophily, job position, and physical proximity. We record the evolution of the networks and discuss how the factors affecting initial network growth differ from the steady state of the network.Erik Brynjolfsson George and Sandi Schussel Professor of Management Director, Center for Digital Business, MIT Sloan School of Management

This dissertation follows in the tradition of role theory and organizational scholarship by examining how one role can be taken over by another, which can be referred to as encroachment. Previous organizational role research has not explored fully encroachment and its effects. Therefore, this study investigated factors that lead to role encroachment, especially the sharing of internal resources, and how individuals cope with the effects of encroachment. To conduct the study, focus groups of marketing and public relations departments were analyzed to explain how roles are enacted within their practical context. The goals of this dissertation were to (a) investigate how shared resources affect role boundaries and role enactment that can lead to encroachment, (b) explain the concept of encroachment and how it affects role enactment, and (c) investigate the conflict between public relations and marketing that can lead to encroachment in the age of social media. The study found themes related to: (a) definitions of encroachment, (b) factors facilitating encroachment, (c) factors affecting the intensity of encroachment, (d) shared resources and their effects on encroachment, (e) implications of encroachment to the individual, department, and organization, and (f) ways people deal with encroachment. First, encroachment was defined in three ways: the overtaking of tasks, or receiving unwanted strategic guidance, or interference of organizational processes. Second, the study found that role ambiguity and the communication of and adherence to cultural norms invite or prevent encroachment. Third, role ambiguity and organizational culture were found to be the dominant factors that affect the intensity of encroachment. Fourth, the study found that tangible macro resources, like organizational culture and structure, and practical resources, such as information and skill sets, facilitate encroachment. Fifth, findings indicated that implications of encroachment include stress, frustration, and confusion at the individual level; an us versus them mentality and role conflict at the departmental level; and broken relationships with external partners, lack of organizational nimbleness, and wasted time and money at the organizational level. Lastly, the study found that people deal with encroachment by providing and receiving emotional and informational social support, and by accumulating and spending social capital through relationship building within the organization. Theoretical implications of this research indicate that role conflict, role ambiguity, and boundary spanning role theory relate to encroachment. In addition, previous theory focused on external resource use by organizations can be expanded to evaluate the internal use of resources. Theory from interpersonal communication, such as social exchange theory, social support, and social capital, relate to how people facing encroachment cope with their roles being infringed upon. Practical implications of this dissertation include recommendations for organizations including increased communication of role boundaries and evaluations of restrictive cultural norms. The findings from this study provide an understanding of encroachment and indicate directions for further development of theory about encroachment and role enactment.

In the modern Knowledge Economy, in the Big Data Era, properly understand the use and management of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based on the academic field of the studies of Information Systems (IS), becomes increasingly important and strategic for organizations who seek: to remain active, to be able to meet new demands (internal and external) and to face the complex changes in market competition. This research uses the theory of stages of growth, substantiated by the studies of Richard L. Nolan in the 70s. The academic literature related to stages of growth models and the context of IS study field, provide the conceptual bases for this study. The research identifies a framework with its constructs related to the growth stages of the organizational initiatives of ICT/IS, starting from Nolan´s second level of benchmark variables, and proposes its implementation with the creation and development of a scale. With exploratory and descriptive characteristic, the research brings theoretical contribution to the paradigm of the stages of growth theory, adding a new growth process in its conceptual structure. As a result, it is provided a bilingual scale instrument (Portuguese and English), as well as, recommendations and rules for application of a survey type research instrument, to the continuity of this study. As a general implication of this research, it is expected that its use and application in measuring the stage level assessment of ICT/IS in organizations, can assist two types of individuals: academicians who study this thematic, as well as, practitioners seeking answers to their practical actions in organizations where they work.
Na moderna Economia do Conhecimento, na Era do Big Data, entender corretamente o uso e a gestão da Tecnologia de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) tendo como base o campo acadêmico de estudos de Sistemas de Informação (SI), torna-se cada vez mais relevante e estratégico para as organizações que pretendem: permanecer em atividade, estar aptas para atender novas demandas (internas e externas) e enfrentar as complexas mudanças na competição de mercado. Esta pesquisa utiliza a teoria dos estágios de crescimento, fundamentada pelos estudos de Richard L. Nolan nos anos 70. A literatura acadêmica relacionada com modelos de estágios de crescimento e o contexto do campo de estudo de SI, fornecem as bases conceituais deste estudo. A pesquisa identifica um modelo com seus construtos relacionados aos estágios de crescimento das iniciativas da TIC/SI organizacional, partindo das variáveis de benchmark de segundo nível de Nolan, e propõe sua operacionalização com a criação e desenvolvimento de uma escala. De caráter exploratório e descritivo, a pesquisa traz contribuição teórica ao paradigma da teoria dos estágios de crescimento, adicionando um novo processo de crescimento em sua estrutura conceitual. Como resultado, é disponibilizado além de um instrumento de escala bilíngue (português e inglês), recomendações e regras para aplicação de um instrumento de pesquisa do tipo survey, na continuidade deste estudo. Como implicação geral desta pesquisa, é esperado que seu uso e aplicação ao mensurar a avaliação do nível de estágio da TIC/SI em organizações, possam auxiliar dois perfis de indivíduos: acadêmicos que estudam essa temática, assim como, profissionais que buscam respostas de suas ações práticas nas organizações onde trabalham.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleWith the use of information and communication digital technologies (ICDT), the subjects in communication perspective have access not only to a variety of information, but also they can be content producers about the world. Thus, in these digital environments, the public tends more and more to offer and transact senses regarding organizations (their processes, products and services), which may interfere even in their relationships and management processes. In this sense, this study aims to understand how the senses offered in the dimension of "spoken organization" (BALDISSERA, 2009b), particularly on the internet, interfere in hotel management processes. Therefore, besides being epistemically grounded in symbolic interactionism (MEAD, 1972), this study also discusses theoretical studies on characteristics of the contemporary context - from authors like Maffesoli (2012) and Castells (2009a) - that interfere with the organization-public relationship. Within this perspective, organizational communication (BALDISSERA, 2009a), organizational management (GAULEJAC, 2006), and hotel management (ABREU, 2003) are discussed, considered basic notions for this investigation. The empirical research, in turn, involved fifteen interviews with hoteliers from three cities of the microregion Hortênsias (Gramado, Canela and Nova Petrópolis), in Serra Gaúcha/RS (Gaucho Highlands/RS). The reports analysis, through the procedure of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2009) and in the light of epistemic-theoretical foundations, showed that guests’ evaluations and opinions on hotels published on the Internet – considering the "spoken organization" – require monitoring and investments in communication and management such as: resizing of communication processes and changes in management practices with changes in decision-making processes, service policies, and investment plans.

Purpose/Aim: The general purpose of this essay is to analyse how the member organizations of LSU – The National Council of Swedish Youth Organizations, see the communication,activities and their influence over the organization. I aim to do an analysis of the target group to find out if the lack of involvement in LSU is caused by communication problems.
Material/Method: The method of this essay is quantitative and is based upon a web-survey.The chairmen of the member organizations have been asked to answer a survey about the communication in LSU. To get an idea of how widespread different opinions about LSU are the empirical data has been made into graphs to show the frequencies and also cross tabulations to find out if there are any correlations between the variables.
Main result: This study has shown that the problem with involvement in LSU is only partly a communication problem. One important result is that many member organizations feel that LSU doesn’t listen to their opinions and they express a wish to have more influence over the organization. The broad target group is both a strength and a weakness to the organization. It is a hard task to communicate in such a differentiated organization, since the members have many views on LSU and have different degrees of involvement. But it is also a strength to be able to create meeting points where different organizations can learn from each other.
Keywords: Communication problems, internal communication, involvement, non-profit, organizations, umbrella organization, youth organizations.
