Specifically, we studied resistance towards Electronic Health Record systems (EHR). For this, the original scale items were adapted to the new context, and the model was tested with the data collected from 226 employees who work with an EHR system at a large public hospital in Amman, Jordan. Overall, the results support six of the eleven posited hypotheses. One hypothesis was contradicted, and the remaining four hypotheses were not supported. Moreover, the model fit statistics suggested that the current URM does not have a good fit. This indicates that the URM in the new context needs further investigation. We first discuss the hypotheses that are not supported or contradicted and then begin to suggest refinements to the model in an effort to improve its fit.","PeriodicalId":146711,"journal":{"name":"AIS Trans.

We found essentially the same results, although there were some differences. In our study, Information Quality Trust was again the most important determinant. Subjective norms played a role, but were not a fundamentally important factor as they were in the Han, et al. study; we speculate this may be due to different cultures between our participants and theirs. The other three factors were important for some types of ENS notifications but not others. Our research also suggests that future research should consider past experience with ENS notifications, such as the frequency, location relevance, and the timeliness of past ENS notifications received.","PeriodicalId":146711,"journal":{"name":"AIS Trans.

They examined 21 journals out of 140 journals considered as possible IS journals. We also expand the sample to 73 of the 140 journals. Our sample includes a wider range of approaches to IS, although all were suggested by IS scholars in a survey by Lowry and colleagues. We also use the same sample of 21 journals in Lowry et al. with the same methods of analysis so far as possible. With the narrow sample, we replicate Lowry et al. as closely as we can, whereas with the broader sample we employ a conceptual replication. This latter replication also employs alternative methods. For example, we consider citations (a quality measure) and centrality (a relevance measure in this context) as distinct, rather than merging them as in Lowry et al. High centrality scores from the sample of 73 journals do not necessarily indicate close connections with IS. Therefore, we determine which journals are of high quality and closely connected with the Basket and with their sample. These results support the broad purpose of Lowry et al., finding a wider set of high quality and relevant journals than just MISQ and ISR, and find a wider set of relevant, top quality journals.","PeriodicalId":146711,"journal":{"name":"AIS Trans.

Whereas the original study focused on ‘IT Road Warriors’, those that spend most of their work life away from home; we applied the original study’s hypotheses and model to the more general context of IT professionals. Results from a sample of 301 IT professionals housed in an on-site internal IT department were mixed. Consistent with Ahuja et al. (2007), the relationships between exhaustion, organizational commitment, and turnover intention were supported. Also, the influence of work-family conflict on exhaustion, but not organizational commitment, was confirmed. In contrast to Ahuja et al. (2007), the replication study found that fairness of rewards was much more important to in-house IT professionals than autonomy. Future research should investigate the boundaries of Ahuja et al.’s (2007) model of turnover intention for various sub-populations within the IT profession, such as system administrators, contract workers, and perhaps CIOs. Researchers may also want to explore factors outside the current model that may impact the turnover intention of IT professionals such as organizational and professional identity and boundary spanning.","PeriodicalId":146711,"journal":{"name":"AIS Trans.

This is in contrast to the original study, which used a large, demographically diverse sample of online panel respondents that spanned multiple organizations and industries. Our replication results confirm the results of the original study, and in doing so, support the theoretical position that security-related stress induces moral disengagement of information security policy (ISP) violations, which in turn increases ISP violation intention. The findings also indirectly support the viability of online panel respondents for studies of employees’ security-related intentions. Having established the robustness of the D’Arcy et al. (2014) model across two sampling frames, we recommend future conceptual replications that employ alternate measures of security-related stress and more rigorous research designs that capture the relationships between security-related stress, moral disengagement, and ISP violations.","PeriodicalId":146711,"journal":{"name":"AIS Trans.

Prior studies in forecasting have argued convincingly that the design of FDSS should incorporate the complexity of the forecasting task. Yet, there existed no formal way of determining time series complexity until this FDSS, referred to as the Complexity Scoring Technique (CST). The CST uses characteristics of the time series to trigger 12 rules that score the complexity of a time series and classify it along the binary dimension of Simple or Complex. The CST was originally validated using statistical forecasts of a small set of 54 time series as well as judgmental forecasts from 14 representative participants to confirm that the FDSS successfully distinguished Simple series from Complex ones. In this study, we (a) replicate the CST on a much larger set of data from both statistical and judgmental forecasting methods, and (b) extend and validate the series classification categories from the binary Simple-Complex used in the original CST to Very Simple, Simple, Complex, and Very Complex thus adding an ordinal link between the two previous binary designations. Findings suggest that both the replication and extension of the CST further validate it, thereby greatly enhancing its use in the practice of forecasting. Implications for research and practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":146711,"journal":{"name":"AIS Trans.

However, the replication did not confirm the main finding, that it is the interplay of these three variables, i.e., cognitive cost, that predict performance and attitude. The original study’s findings indicate that the relationship between website design features and intention to use is fully mediated by attitude toward the website. However, the replication indicates that behavioral intentions are partially mediated by attitude toward the website.

In contrast to the original study, all data for this replication comes from a single organization, and the survey instrument references a security policy specific to this organization, not generic security policies in multiple organizations. Our results, based on 437 observations, confirm some of the original findings but not all. Relationships stemming from Organizational Commitment, Resource Availability, Security Breach concern level and Subjective Norms are similar across both studies. The findings for other relationships drawn from PMT, GDT, and TPB are mixed. We believe that the evidence provided in this conceptual replication of the Integrated Model (Herath & Rao, 2009) supports the robustness of parts of the model.
