The diffusion of human‐resource information‐technology innovations in US and non‐US firms

Gary W. Florkowski, Miguel R. Olivas‐Luján · 2006 · Personnel Review

Summary. This study examines how eight human-resource information technologies spread across US, Canadian, UK, and Irish firms. The researchers found that internal influences—particularly contacts among potential adopters within their social networks—drove adoption decisions more than external factors. Results held consistent across different countries, user types, and technology types. The findings suggest firms need better-coordinated technology strategies to align purchasing with actual HR automation goals.
