Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how IT routines influence firm performances. To do this, a research model are proposed which includes 5 constructs: firm performance, business process performance, IT infrastructure flexibility, IT personnel knowledge, and IT routines. It is presumed that the IT routines enhance other IT capabilities (IT infrastructure flexibility and IT personnel knowledge) and subsequently business process performance which in turn influence firm performance. Then, with 243 firm level data, the proposed dynamics were empirically validated and tested using PLS. The study result revealed that all the routes proposed in the model are statistically significant.

본 연구의 목적은 정보기술 루틴이 기업 성과에 미치는 메커니즘을 검토하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 기업성과, 비즈니스 프로세스 성과, 정보기술 인프라스트럭쳐 유연성, 정보기술 인력의 지식, 정보기술 루틴 등으로 구성되는 연구 모델을 제안한다. 연구 모델에서 정보기술 루틴은 다른 정보기술 능력들 (정보기술 인프라스트럭쳐 유연성, 정보기술 인력의 지식)에 일차적으로 영향을 미치고, 이어서 비즈니스 프로세스 성과에 영향을 통해 궁극적으로 기업성과에 간접적으로 영향을 미친다. 연구 모델은 243개의 기업 수준 데이터에 기반하여 검토되었는데, 분석도구로는 PLS를 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 연구 모델에서 제안된 모든 경로가 통계적으로 의미 있는 것으로 나타났다.
