Date of Defense 2008-12-10 Availability unrestricted Abstract Understanding individual adaptation to Information Systems (IS) has received relatively littleattention in IS research. For furthering these issues, a multi-paper dissertation is adopted and
studies distinct aspects of user interaction with IT related with adaptation. Thus, in order to better
understand how system users adapt to IT disruptions this study examines (1) how system users
who become disrupted by IS that provide them with too much information interact with these
systems, (2) the influence of espoused cultural values (Srite et al. 2006) on user coping strategies
of adaptation to IS, and (3) middle managers responses to the implementation of disruptive IT in
public administration. These dissertation studies together help improve our knowledge on
individual adaptive responses to IT disruptions.
