Abstract
Drawing upon innovation diffusion theory and the organizational capability literature, this study empirically investigates the differential influence of three contextual variables (organizational readiness, expected benefits, and organizational learning capability) on knowledge management system (KMS) adoption (or continue-to-use) decisions. Utilizing data collected from 220 senior executives in large Taiwanese firms, various relationships in the research model are tested using partial least squares analysis. The results indicate that organizational readiness, expected benefits, and organizational learning capability influence KMS adoption (or continue-to-use) intention. Additionally, this study finds that the relationship between organizational readiness and KMS adoption (or continuance) intention is greater for potential adopters than for current adopters. Theoretically, this study provides a model capable of understanding the determinants of KMS adoption (or continue-to-use) across potential and current adopters. From the managerial perspective, the findings should provide valuable guidelines to companies potentially wishing to adopt KMS by overcoming potential obstacles, and thus maximizing the benefits during the pre-adoption and post-adoption stages.
