Description
Research on post-adoption has proliferated and has offered insight into the antecedents that drive post-adoptive usage. Yet, much of such research has focused exclusively on instrumental belief constructs about the technology itself and related abilities and, thus, has not sufficiently examined the organizational context in which post-adoptive usage takes place. Deepening understanding of perceived contextual factors is important to gain a more holistic understanding of the use-process and to account for the fact that organizational structures play an important role in post-adoption. To address this need, this research-in-progress paper introduces the Model of Proactive Work Behavior to IS research, which enables investigating how, why, and for whom such prominent contextual factors as job autonomy drive pertinent post-adoption behaviors, like innovation. The paper hypothesizes that job autonomy increases individual innovation with IT via certain proactive cognitive-motivational states, and it ends with a brief overview of the proposed methodology and expected contributions.

Contextual Factors in Post-adoption: Applying the Model of Proactive Work Behavior to the Study of End-User innovation
Research on post-adoption has proliferated and has offered insight into the antecedents that drive post-adoptive usage.
