Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of hospital employees' perceptions and performance expectations on IT technologies introduction and intention to use in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Methodology: A survey was conducted on 524 employees at 42 hospitals. Pearson's correlation analysis, regression analysis, Sobel test, and structural equation were used for the analysis. Findings: The factors of technical situation (complexity, compatibility, technical readiness, and security concerns), those of environmental situation (competitive pressure and regulatory support), and organizational situation (top management support and costs) have influenced on the recognition of employees in the hospital and the performance expectations. IT technology introduction and use intention have been influenced by technical situation, organizational situation, and environmental situation in order. But security concerns and cost factors have not statistically affected. In addition, due to the perception and performance expectations of hospital employee who have a role in mediating the introduction and use intention of IT technology, the greater the perception and performance expectations of hospital employees, the higher the intention of introduction and usage of IT technology. Practical Implications: Rather than considering the position of external customers and the position of competitive hospitals, more attention is required for the perception and performance expectations of the internal members.
