Theory of Workarounds (2014, background): “Volume 34 Article 55 1057 Before discussing the steps in the theory workarounds, it is worthwhile to mention this article’s stance in relation to past discussions of what constitutes a legitimate theory (e.g., Sutton and Staw,1995; Weick, 1995; Gregor, 2006; Weber, 2012).”
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology: A Synthesis and the Road Ahead (2016, methodology): “Such an enrichment is also consistent with our evaluation of UTAUT and its extensions based on Weber (2012)—we lack meso-level formulations of research models.”
An Enhanced Fear Appeal Rhetorical Framework: Leveraging Threats to the Human Asset Through Sanctioning Rhetoric (2015, methodology): “We also contend that the primary behavioral modeling theory on which it is based, protection motivation theory (PMT), has been improperly applied in the extant information security literature (Truex et al. 2006; Weber 2012).”
The extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2): A systematic literature review and theory evaluation (2021, methodology): “This study mapped UTAUT2 extensions and extended Venkatesh et al. (2016) multi-level framework of technology acceptance and use based on Weber (2012) theory evaluation and thorough analysis of Johns (2006) context dimensions.”

Understanding managers’ attitudes and behavioral intentions towards using artificial intelligence for organizational decision-making (2021, background): “…managers ’ perceptions of using AI would, thus, require a “ net valence approach that considers both benefits and concerns ” (Breward et al., 2017, p.760) thereby being able to examine and explain the attributes of a whole rather than attributes of its parts (Venkatesh et al., 2016; Weber, 2012).”
Conceptualising engagement with digital behaviour change interventions: a systematic review using principles from critical interpretive synthesis (2016, background): “It may not be possible to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed definition prior to empirical work [151].”
