Description
Technology-driven and enabled innovation is now common practice in organizations. However, the success of any innovation is dependent on employees’ acceptance and adoption. Yet, as emerging technology, such as artificial intelligence, is prevalent in consumer and business spaces, the factors that drive adoption of such innovation will not solely be sourced from the organizational environment. Instead, we posit that individual-based characteristics and interactions, such as with family, will be influential drivers encouraging adoption. We propose a novel extension to the literature on technology adoption suitable for studying emerging technology adoption, i.e. blockchain, which is commonly used for personal and professional use. Our extension, drawn from human development research, acknowledges the role of environmental factors and interactions outside the workplace, i.e. out-of-work factors. Understanding these factors can help organizations and researchers design activities and mechanisms to address perceptions formed from personal use and experience of the technology to improve organizational adoption.
