Abstract: We investigate the impact of cohesion versus structural holes in two different types of knowledge networks—help-seeking networks and voluntary contribution networks—on adaptation to health IT-enabled patient-care practices. In a multimethod study conducted within a large hospital system, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 806 clinicians working with electronic medical record systems in 27 inpatient patient-care units. Multilevel analysis of the data revealed that overall network cohesiveness versus location in structural hole positions related to adaptation differently, depending on the type of network. In help-seeking networks, location in structural hole positions was negatively related to adaptation, while network cohesion had a bell-shaped curvilinear relationship with adaptation; in voluntary contribution networks, the overall cohesiveness of the network was negatively related to adaptation, but location in structural hole positions was irrelevant to adaptation. Our findings suggest a more nuanced way of monitoring and utilising different sets of informal social interactions at work to maximise employees' adaptation to IT-enabled work. Collapse

Abstract: Enterprise social media (ESM) has been widely adopted by organizations to improve employees’ job performance. However, the underlying mechanism by which ESM usage enhances job performance remains unclear. To address this gap, we apply information processing theory and propose that ESM usage may affect employees’ task structure, thereby influencing their job performance. Furthermore, we explore the moderating effects of team diversity. By analyzing data collected from employees who use ESM in the workplace, the mediating effects of task structure are supported. Our research also confirms the moderating effects of team diversity on the relationship between ESM usage and task interdependence. This study not only enriches ESM research by providing task structure as a mediating mechanism but also offers practical suggestions to organizations for realizing the value of ESM by considering team diversity.

Abstract: The article discusses adaptive structuration theory (AST) in relation to individual level adaptation behaviors in light of workplace information technology (IT) innovation. Topics include the relation of adaptation behavior to individual performance, research on AST in information systems, and the notion of task adaptation. Collapse
