En fallstudie om hur ledningen kan påverka användning av ett dokumenthanteringssystem : En kvalitativ fallstudie på användarnas avsikter till att använda ett dokumenthanteringssystem

Sammanfattning: Implementation of new systems in organizations are complex as new features that promises improvement of work processes are not given. In particular if the system does not include users' needs and requirements. This can instead create the opposite effect as previous research has shown. Implementation of new information systems requires technical, as well as human aspects prior to application of the systems, in order for it to be used accordingly. To understand this better, the authors have conducted a case study on a consultancy company called Combitech, which is in the process of implementing a new document management system. The study is based on finding different factors that affects the users when using the current documentation system. The results are thought to be useful guidance when Combitech implements a new system. The authors has applied the theoretical framework UTAUT, based on the user's perspective. The theory deals with four different aspects that enables to study the IT- uptake from a holistic perspective, which in turn makes it possible to counteract resistance. The different elements of the theory are described as performance expectancy, effort expectancyt, social influence and facilitating conditions. By using the theory as a framework, the study has enlightened users' thoughts about the technical aspect and how they perceive the social and organizational environment related to the current system. In order to complete this study, the authors used a qualitative approach. A total of six informants participated in telephone interviews. The gathered data was initially structured on the basis of the theoretical framework, thus being thematized based on characteristic found by the informants.
