Abstract
The hospitality industry has been increasingly adopting digitalization programs to improve the information technology (IT)-enabled productivity of their employees. However, due to limited resources and capabilities, small and medium-sized hotel enterprises (SMHEs) often resort to cost-effective digital technologies, resulting in an imperfect fit between IT and the organization. As a result, productivity falls short of expectations, posing a significant challenge for enterprises dealing with the resource constraints of implementing digital technologies. To address this issue, this study found a substitution effect between IT identity and the organizational fit of IT (OFI) in influencing IT-enabled productivity through a mixed-methods approach. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
