Reconceptualizing System Usage: An Approach and Empirical Test (2006, background): “We believe that this criticism would be mistaken because diversity can help progress (Robey 1996), especially via diversity of measures (Boudreau et al. 2001), and this is perfectly consistent with 2 Another way of referring to these steps would be to refer to the " structure " step as "…”

Individual Trust in Online Firms: Scale Development and Initial Test (2002, background): “THE CALL FOR THEORETICALLY AND EMPIRICALLY RIGOROUS instruments to measure unobservable constructs has been echoed time and again by information systems (IS) researchers (for example [5, 42, 46]).”
How University Entrepreneurship Support Affects College Students’ Entrepreneurial Intentions: An Empirical Analysis from China (2021, methodology): “To ensure that the selected indicators as a whole capture the entire domain of UES, the researchers first determined the scope of the construct via a literature review and then form an expert panel to further discuss, evaluate, and establish the content validity of UES [93].”

Editor's comments: a critical look at the use of PLS-SEM in MIS quarterly (2012, methodology): “Against this background, rigorous research has a long-standing tradition of critically reviewing prior practices of reporting standards and research method use (e.g., Boudreau et al. 2001).”
Developing and Validating Trust Measures for e-Commerce: An Integrative Typology (2002, background): “Two pilot 3Although such instruments are sometimes called surveys, following Boudreau et al. (2001), we suggest referring to instruments usedduring experiments as questionnaires (or experimental instruments) and reserving the term surveys for the context of field studies.”
