Description
Information and communication technologies are so embedded in modern society that we have arrived at the point at which learning to use technology constructively may affect our day to day lives as much as does learning to eat properly. While information systems scholars have studied interesting post-adoption constructs such as continuance intentions and IT-appropriation, research explaining and predicting constructive system-use (i.e., system-use that is both fulfilling and productive) has been scarce. Better understanding constructive system-use would benefit both research and practice – scholars’ knowledge of positive outcomes of human computer interactions would expand and practitioners could gain insights toward improving employee productivity in terms of system-use. We pursue this study by developing a theory around user attributes, behaviors, learning styles, and use outcomes.

Constructive System Use
Information and communication technologies are so embedded in modern society that we have arrived at the point at which learning to use technology constructively may affect our day to day lives as much as does learning to eat properly.
