AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OFTECHNOSTRESS OF PHYSICIANS ON ADOPTION OFELECTRONIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS
2016
Information technology systems in healthcare have existed for several years and gained relatively
widespread usage. Therefore, factors of IT adoption have largely been discussed in literatures in
order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of using systems. However, existing frameworks are
failing to include an important aspect, the technostress undertaken by physicians. Our research idea is
that IT adoption in a clinical environment depends on five different dimensions of technostress (e.g.
work overload, techno-invasion and etc. al) of physicians through PU and PEOU based on TAM
model.
This paper first made comprehensive literature review to the content about technostress and different
theories related to adoption, then put forward five hypotheses based on the TAM Model, which has
been widely perceived by scholars. As for the model construction and data collection, the research
intends to use a 5-point Likert scale and select physicians at different levels from 7 representative
hospitals’ basic units located in Shaanxi province. Based on all above, we expect the research could
offer a subtle theoretical understanding about the nature of technostress and their impact on adoption
by physicians. On the practical front, the research has implications for managers intending to design
managerial procedures or rules for the purpose of improving the adoption.
