Editorial notes.
December 1, 2000... ISR recently implemented a new editorial structure with five senior editors, Sirkka Jarvenpaa (University of Texas at Austin), Sal March (Vanderbilt University), Tridas Mukhopadhyay (Carnegie Mellon University), Geoff Walsham (University of...

Research commentary: an agenda for information technology research in heterogeneous and distributed environments.
December 1, 2000... Application-driven, technology-intensive research is critically needed to meet the challenges of globalization, interactivity, high productivity, and rapid adaptation faced by business organizations. Information systems researchers are uniquely...

Determinants of perceived ease of use: integrating control, intrinsic motivation, and emotion into the technology acceptance model.
December 1, 2000... Much previous research has established that perceived ease of use is an important factor influencing user acceptance and usage behavior of information technologies. However, very little research has been conducted to understand how that...

Memory-based feedback controls to support groupware coordination.
December 1, 2000... In this paper we first present an empirical study of groupware use illustrating problems that users faced with restricted feedback about others' activities. Awareness can aid users in learning interdependencies, and in forming conventions to...

Providing decisional guidance for multicriteria decision making in groups.
December 1, 2000... Intelligent user interfaces, particularly in interactive group settings, can be based on system explanations that guide model building, application, and interpretation. Here we extend Silver's (1990, 1991) conceptualization of decisional...

Research report: the role of behavioral modeling in computer skills acquisition: toward refinement of the model.
December 1, 2000... Recent empirical work by Campeau and Higgins (1995) investigated the role of behavioral modeling training in the development of computer skills. Their efforts have provided insight into our understanding of the role of computer self-efficacy...

Research report: the evolving relationship between general and specific computer self-efficacy--an empirical assessment.
December 1, 2000... The concept of computer self-efficacy (CSE) recently has been proposed as important to the study of individual behavior toward information technology. This paper extends current understanding about the concept of self-efficacy in the context of...
