Meeting Satisfaction for Technology-Supported Groups (2006, background): “Like other authors (e.g., Briggs & Vreede, 1997; Dennis et al., 2001; Reinig, 2003), we decompose meeting satisfaction into two constructs: satisfaction with meeting process (SP) and satisfaction with meeting outcome (SO).”
Toward a Deeper Understanding of System Usage in Organizations: A Multilevel Perspective (2007, neutral): “For instance, the view that system usage involves these elements is already reflected in research at the individual (Szajna 1993), group (Dennis et al. 2001), and firm (Subramani 2004) levels.”
From Use to Effective Use: A Representation Theory Perspective (2013, background): “(Goodhue and Thompson 1995; Dennis et al. 2001; Devaraj and Kohli 2003; Ahearne et al. 2008) User-tasktechnology fit System use increases users’ task performance when the IS fits the task and the user is sufficiently competent to use it.”
Media, Tasks, and Communication Processes: A Theory of Media Synchronicity (2008, methodology): “…on the fit between the communication processes and the media, not on the appropriation behaviors, as they may be influenced by the fit of the medium to the task, training, familiarity, norms, past experiences, and so on (Carlson and Zmud 1999; Dennis et al. 2001; DeSanctis and Poole 1994).”
An Experimental Study on Ubiquitous commerce Adoption: Impact of Personalization and Privacy Concerns (2008, background): “Prior research on technology innovation has pointed out the importance of fit between information technologies and the tasks to be supported, as a precursor to technology use and its subsequent benefits (Dennis et al., 2001; Goodhue & Thompson, 1995).”
Applying Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior to a Study of Online Course Adoption in Public Relations Education. (2012, background): “Dennis et al. (2001) argue in their meta-analysis that many Task-Technology Fit applications have lacked solid theoretical frameworks, and instead are based solely on empirical data that fits a particular information technology research context.”
Discovering Unobserved Heterogeneity in Structural Equation Models to Avert Validity Threats (2013, methodology): “• Fit between the Task and the GSS Structures • Appropriation Support Received “Many previous papers have lamented the fact that the findings of past GSS research have been inconsistent.”
Is Out of Sight, Out of Mind? An Empirical Study of Social Loafing in Technology-Supported Groups (2005, background): “2003) and the long history of research on supporting these teams (Dennis et al. 2001), the issue of social loafing has not been studied systematically in the context of technology-supported teams.”
An Empirical Examination of the Influence of Organizational Culture on Knowledge Management Practices (2005, background): “In the context of this study, the phrase KM tool use refers to how individuals may appropriate a given technology for their own particular purposes [14].”
