本研究以制度理论为视角，探讨组织间系统采用的影响因素。它认为，制度化环境中存在的模仿性、强制性和规范性压力会影响组织对基于信息技术的组织间联系的倾向。为验证这一理论，进行了基于调查的研究。在问卷开发、验证和先行研究的前测之后，从首席执行官、首席财务官和首席信息官那里收集了数据，以衡量他们面临的制度压力以及他们采用金融电子数据交换(FEDI)的意图。基于首席执行官、首席财务官和首席信息官的数据，建立了公司级结构模型。分别使用LISREL和偏最小二乘法对测量模型和结构模型进行检验。结果表明，三种制度压力-模仿压力、强制压力和规范压力-都对组织采用FEDI的意愿有显著影响。除了在供应商中被感知的采用程度外，所有其他子结构在模型中都是重要的。这些结果为以制度为基础的变量预测组织间联系的采纳意愿提供了有力的支持。这些发现表明，组织扎根于机构网络，并呼吁在调查信息技术创新采用时更多地关注了解机构压力。
This study used institutional theory as a lens to understand the factors that enable the adoption of interorganizational systems. It posits that mimetic, coercive, and normative pressures existing in an institutionalized environment could influence organizational predisposition toward an information technology-based interorganizational linkage. Survey-based research was carried out to test this theory. Following questionnaire development, validation, and pretest with a pilot study, data were collected from the CEO, the CFO, and the CIO to measure the institutional pressures they faced and their intentions to adopt financial electronic data interchange (FEDI). A firm-level structural model was developed based on the CEO's, the CFO's, and the CIO's data. LISREL and PLS were used for testing the measurement and structural models respectively. Results showed that all three institutional pressures-mimetic pressures, coercive pressures, and normative pressures-had a significant influence on organizational intention to adopt FEDI. Except for perceived extent of adoption among suppliers, all other subconstructs were significant in the model. These results provide strong support for institutional-based variables as predictors of adoption intention for interorganizational linkages. These findings indicate that organizations are embedded in institutional networks and call for greater attention to be directed at understanding institutional pressures when investigating information technology innovations adoption.
