Abstract

ABSTRACT The evaluation process of agricultural Decision Support Systems (agDSSs) is mostly based on verification and validation criteria which reflect the viewpoint of one or a few persons, who are mostly involved in the development process. However, usability evaluation is regarded as very important criteria, which measures acceptance of IT-based innovations, involving as many people and reference groups as possible to produce more realistic results related to their adoption. To date, researchers have used many technology acceptance models (TAM) to measure likely adoption chances of innovation or technology. However, the frequency and scope of such studies in agDSSs are predominantly very low, which is attributed to the technical limitations of contemporary TAMs to consider social, organizational and environmental externalities of farmers’ perceptions, behaviors and attitudes beyond “technical aspects” in an explicit manner. Therefore, we are presenting a usability based evaluation framework for the agDSSs considering attitudes, mind-sets, social, organizational, environmental and cultural contexts beyond ‘technical perspective’ to help and support DSS practitioners with the key contributing factors. The proposed framework has been used to investigate the user’s acceptance of agDSS developed for Insect-Pest and Nutrient Management of apple (AIP&NM) in India.
农业决策支持系统评价的综合技术接受模型
农业决策支持系统(agDSSs)的评价过程大多基于验证和验证标准,这些标准反映了一个或几个人的观点,这些人主要参与开发过程。然而,可用性评估被认为是非常重要的标准,它衡量基于it的创新的接受程度,涉及尽可能多的人和参考组,以产生与采用相关的更现实的结果。迄今为止,研究人员已经使用了许多技术接受模型(TAM)来衡量创新或技术的可能采用机会。然而,agDSSs中此类研究的频率和范围主要非常低,这归因于当代tam的技术限制,无法以明确的方式考虑农民感知、行为和态度的社会、组织和环境外部性,超出了“技术方面”。因此,我们为agDSSs提供了一个基于可用性的评估框架,考虑了态度、思维方式、社会、组织、环境和文化背景,而不是“技术角度”,以帮助和支持DSS从业者了解关键因素。所提出的框架已用于调查用户对印度苹果虫害和营养管理agDSS (AIP&NM)的接受程度。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM) is a refereed international journal that is supported by Global IT scholars from all over the world. JGITM publishes articles related to all aspects of the application of information technology for international business. The journal also considers a variety of methodological approaches and encourages manuscript submissions from authors all over the world, both from academia and industry. In addition, the journal will also include reviews of MIS books that have bearing on global aspects. Practitioner input will be specifically solicited from time-to-time in the form of invited columns or interviews. Besides quality work, at a minimum each submitted article should have the following three components: an MIS (Management Information Systems) topic, an international orientation (e.g., cross cultural studies or strong international implications), and evidence (e.g., survey data, case studies, secondary data, etc.). Articles in the Journal of Global Information Technology Management include, but are not limited to: -Cross-cultural IS studies -Frameworks/models for global information systems (GIS) -Development, evaluation and management of GIS -Information Resource Management -Electronic Commerce -Privacy & Security -Societal impacts of IT in developing countries -IT and Economic Development -IT Diffusion in developing countries -IT in Health Care -IT human resource issues -DSS/EIS/ES in international settings -Organizational and management structures for GIS -Transborder data flow issues -Supply Chain Management -Distributed global databases and networks -Cultural and societal impacts -Comparative studies of nations -Applications and case studies
