According to adaptive structuration theory, faithfulness of appropriation(FOA), and consensus on appropriation(COA) are variables for measuring appropriation in use of IT. FOA is the level of interpreting and using the intentions of the IT designers objectively and COA is the level of agreement on ways of using IT among or with user group independently of designers' intention. In traditional theories of IT adoption, computer self-efficacy(CSE), self evaluation on abilities of using computer, has been considered as one of the important individual differences. which would influence on beliefs of using IT. Therefore, considering the relationship among CSE, FOA, COA and attitude, we can hypothesize that CSE would play a moderation varaible among appropriation related variables relationships, FOA-attitude and COA-attitude. The objective of this study is an analysis of CSE's moderation effects in causality relationship among appropriation measuring variables. For this purpose, we propose a research model where there are four hypotheses for moderation effects of CSE on the relationships between appropriation variables. We test these hypotheses by sampling ERP and groupware users. In result, our proposed hypotheses except moderation effect of COA-usefulness are accepted. Main contribution of this study is to identify the relationship between CSE and AST. This study implies that very careful consideration of users' CSE is necessary in order to perform managerial activities based on FOA and COA in IT management department.

This study explores the process in which employees adopt the information security policy. The results of this study, which surveyed 234 employees in three call centers and four hospitals, show that the employees adapt the information security policy through the social structuring process suggested by the AST model. In particular, this study identifies roles of two appropriation activities (FOA : Faithfulness of Appropriation & COA : Consensus on Appropriation) observed in the social structuring process. Regarding to the interactions between the two appropriation activities, FOA, which indicates a better understanding of the information security policy, is examined as a more critical factor than COA, which indicates the degree of agreement among employees about how to use it. FOA not only has a direct effect on compliance intention toward the information security policy, but also indirectly through COA, whereas COA has only a indirect effect through FOA. This result shows that, in order for a company to successfully implement a new information security policy, it is important for employees to understand its purpose and intention. The adaption of information security policy through two appropriation activities is observed in both hospitals and call centers, but due to the different working environments, there were differences in the preceding variables affecting the appropriation activities. The results of this study are expected to provide guidelines for companies who want to successfully adopt information security policy.

One of the most important reasons for using online game is intrinsic motivation which relates the drive to perform a behavior for perceptions of pleasure and satisfaction from the behavior itself. Therefore, most studies for using online game have been based on theories for intrinsic motivation such as flow. However, such theories have some limitations for explaining social aspects of online games such as Massively Multiplayer Online Role Game (MMORPG), which provides a society for game players by using a virtual space for playing games so called 'persistent world'. Adaptive structuration theory (AST) is one of trying to capture the change of using IT due to social interactions between users and system. In order to explain online game players' behavior considering social interaction, we suggest a research model based on AST. Our model aims to investigate the relationship between appropriation which is determined by faithfulness of appropriation (FOA) and consensus on appropriation (COA) and performance which is represented by the relationship among perceived winning, flow, and intention of reuse. An empirical test of our model for 125 MMORPG users which is analyzed by Partial Least Square method shows very satisfactory and interesting results. While hypotheses suggested in our model are supported, the influence of COA on game performance is shown to be stronger than that of FOA.

본 연구에서는 조직 구성원의 협업을 위하여 도입되는 GSS(Group Support System)를 대상으로 과업과 기술의 적합도(TTF: Task-Technology Fit)가 GSS의 사용과 성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 특히 조직구성원들의 상호작용 영향을 고려하기 위해 적응구조화이론(AST: Adaptive Structuration Theory)에서 제시하고 있는 그룹 구성원들 간의 전유방식의 동의정도(COA)와 사용자와 설계자 간의 일치(FOA)의 조절효과를 고려하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 GSS를 도입하여 사용하고 있는 기업을 대상으로 2005년 6월 2일부터 6월 27일까지 약 1달 간 총 303부의 설문지를 회수하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 과업기술적합도는 GSS 사용과 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 전유방식의 동의정도가 강할 경우 GSS사용에 강력한 영향력을 행사하였다. 또한, 전유의 충실도역시 과업기술적합도와 GSS 사용과 성과 간의 관계에 모두 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 위해 개인의 정보시스템 성과에 대한 연구에서 보편적으로 널리 사용되어 온 과업기술적합도 모형과 정보시스템에 구성원들이 적응하는 과정을 설명하는 적응구조화이론 이론을 통합함으로써 GSS 사용에 따른 개인의 성과를 보다 구체적으로 파악할 수 있을 것이다.
