Locating resistance to healthcare information technology: A Bourdieusian analysis of doctors' symbolic capital conservation

Resistance to Healthcare Information Technologies (HIT) continues to be a major challenge that hampers the realization of benefits. Attending to the noted significance of “context” in IT resistance, we carried out this review to understand how the “context” of healthcare in the extant HIT resistance literature has been studied. Based on a review of HIT resistance across 19 IS journals and 5 major IS conferences we organize and summarize the literature around the interaction of people, practice and technology and provide several significant possibilities for future research.

“Context” in healthcare information technology resistance: A systematic review of extant literature and agenda for future research

Purpose: This research aims to explore the factors that affect the adoption of Web 2.0 among knowledge workers. The research specifically investigated the role of factors related to both knowledge seeking and knowledge sharing, in the context of Web 2.0 use by health care professionals. Design/methodology/approach: For this research, a cross-sectional survey design was adopted. The data were analyzed using the partial least square-structural equation modeling. Findings: The results confirmed that the intention to adopt Web 2.0 depends upon both the knowledge-seeking and the knowledge-sharing attitudes. However, between the two, it is knowledge-sharing factors that are more important. Health care professionals tend to share knowledge driven by intrinsic motivators rather than by extrinsic motivators. On the other hand, knowledge-seeking attitude was determined by usefulness of knowledge and was not affected by the effort involved. Research limitations/implications: All the respondents were health care professionals from India and convenience sampling was used to reach them. This may limit the generalizability of the findings. Practical implications: This research provides useful insights on implementing Web 2.0-based knowledge management systems, specifically for health care professionals. Particularly, it emphasizes the need to focus on reinforcing intrinsic motivators like self-efficacy and the joy of sharing. Originality/value: It is perhaps the first study that integrates the factors related to knowledge sharing and seeking in a single theoretical model, thereby presents and tests a more realistic model of knowledge management.

Factors affecting Web 2.0 adoption: exploring the knowledge sharing and knowledge seeking aspects in health care professionals

This study examines the process through which a new organization field is formed around an issue and identifies the mechanism behind that process. Adopting a single case method and discourse analysis tool, it examines the field formation around an issue of Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) in the case of Indian healthcare. Based on the data collected from the secondary sources, the study finds that formation of a field around an issue follows the discursive process and organizational field is the discursive function of issue, power and subjectivity.

A discursive perspective on the organizational field formation process: Issues of Information Technology in Indian healthcare

Technology adoption has been studied through two perspectives - of acceptance and of resistance. While acceptance has been sufficiently researched, resistance is understudied resulting in a less comprehensive understanding of technology adoption. This study examines technology resistance within the framework of task-technology interaction. Task-technology interaction has been defined based on the level of tasktechnology integration which has led to the identification of two types of interaction: intrinsic and extrinsic tasks to the technology. Within this framework, the study adopts cognitive load perspective to argue that introduction of a technology generates cognitive load by challenging the status quo of required working memory to perform the task which results in the technology resistance. The study further argues that level and influence of cognitive load on resistance are higher in extrinsic tasks compared to intrinsic tasks to the technology.

Examining Technology resistance: A cognitive load perspective

This study examines the use of the ‘Jaankari' e-government project by marginalized communities. The Jaankari system, implemented in the state of Bihar in India, enables people to call in and make information requests to government departments. Citizens may speak in their own language and from their own location. Results of an analysis of the data of the call records, when regressed against socio-economic parameters, show that people from marginal communities rely on this service. Those from non-dominant castes and women, in particular, use the system in excess of those from more privileged backgrounds. The paper shows implications of these findings for e-governance research and practice.
