| This study examines some of the attitudinal and behavioral implications of information technology at the individual worker level in an organizational setting.; A conceptual model is presented which defines the relationships among environmental conditions (organizational technology, job core dimensions, information technology), individual situational (training, design participation) and cognitive (resistance to change, intolerance of ambiguity) characteristics, and affective responses to the job (Management Information System (MIS) satisfaction, MIS preference, job involvement, general satisfaction, performance).; Dual and single moderator regression analysis is used to evaluate the significance of individual and conjoint effects with regard to these variables. The empirical evidence used to evaluate this conceptual model is provided by the responses of 120 computer dependent workers in a high technology company.; Results indicate that different modes of presentation of information results in different levels of satisfaction and job involvement; that organizational technology and job core dimensions impact information technology satisfaction; that training and resistance to change are important in information technology work settings; and that design participation is not significant as a moderator at the computer dependent worker level. Finally, this study discusses the need to enhance the research relationship between management science and behavioral science and to use integrated models in further study of these relationships. |
