Abstract:
While adaptation research significantly extends our understanding of how users adapt in reacting to new technology, scant attention has been given to the phenomenon of second-wave, proactive innovations, following the implementation of a disruptive information technology (IT). A proactive user behavior with IT voluntarily steps out of the defined job requirements and creates a new application of IT in the work. This paper conceptualizes a concept called innovating with IT (IwIT) as a post-implementation behavior which refers to user innovations that are proactively conducted with IT in one's work process or deliverables. The paper draws on proactivity literature and takes a novel "slack" respective to understand what could facilitate IwIT. An integrative model that explores the relationship between user's perceived IS slack resources and IwIT has been developed. This project contributes to existing IS research by presenting a new and complementary approach to existing research on adaptive behaviors.
