| Summary: | The innovation implementation in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is commonly
considered to be one of the key drivers of organizational success. Many empirical studies
showed that implementing innovation improves organizational productivity, which in
turn will enhance organizational performance. On one hand, the study on post-adoption
behaviour of innovation is still on the disagreement level among the information system (IS)
researchers and practitioners. Some researchers have argued that it is necessary to take a
multidimensional approach when classifying innovations. In relation to the implications of an
innovation, success and failure factors for innovations were not the same for all innovations
but instead depended on three aspects such as types of innovation, attributes of innovation
and consequences of innovation. In the context of the organization, many studies have been
focused on the industrial sectors. It has been rare that the studies conducted in the higher
education world in the developing countries in particular. Besides, the characteristics of the
organization among the sectors may be different, the developing countries may also have the
different contexts. Therefore, the theoretical, practical, and the contextual gaps mentioned
above are still interesting for the continuous studies. This research aimed to develop the
systematic approach by propose the model of IT innovation implementation in the context of
HEIs, means that the IT innovation that has been adopted by organization can be implemented
successfully through the systematic process which will improve the performance of the HEIs
and which in turn obtain possible benefits as consequence of IT implementation effectiveness.
This study adopted a quantitative approach where a survey research was deemed as the
most appropriate to achieve the research objectives. The respondents of the survey were
managerial staff and lecturers of the HEIs who were considered to be key informants among
the 850 HEIs and the sample was chosen by using a simple random sampling. A total of
171 valid responses from 91 HEIs in Indonesia were then analysed by employing the Partial
Least Squares - Structure Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) techniques to generate and test
the measurement and structural models. The results of this study highlighted that the most
important factor contributing to IT innovation implementation Top Management Support
constitute the imperative variable on IT innovation effectiveness. Whereas the Managerial
Patience, Human Resources Availability, and Implementation Climate did not seem to affect
IT implementation effectiveness. Unfortunately, IT implementation effectiveness found
unexpected result, it was not having an influence towards the IT innovation effectiveness.
Besides, the results may contribute theoretically towards the development of the IT innovation
implementation success, it may also contribute practically around the research field, especially
from the HEIs perspectives in Indonesia. |
