As strategic assets, information systems are adopted by organizations to enhance knowledge performance. This study explores the relationships between IS adoption, organizational capabilities, IS-enabled absorptive capacity, and organizational knowledge performance. The empirical examination of our model using survey data from 417 IS employees of 21 state governments in the U.S. reveals that IS adoption alone does not generate IS-enabled absorptive capacity, but it is positively influenced by organizational capabilities. Additionally, the synergy between IS adoption and organizational capabilities has a positive impact on IS-enabled absorptive capacity, which in turn significantly drives manager and employee knowledge performance. This research contributes to understanding the relationships among IS adoption, organizational capabilities, and organizational knowledge performance in the U.S. public sectors.
As strategic assets for organizations, information systems (IS) have been adopted to enhance organizational knowledge performance. Based on the absorptive capacity perspective, we investigated intertwined relationships among IS adoption, organizational capabilities, IS-enabled absorptive capacity, and organizational knowledge performance. We empirically examined our model with survey data from 417 IS employees of 21 different state governments in the United States. We find that: (1) IS adoption does not directly generate IS-enabled absorptive capacity; (2) organizational capabilities positively affect IS-enabled absorptive capacity; (3) synergies arising from complementarity between IS adoption and organizational capabilities have a positive impact on IS-enabled absorptive capacity; and (4) IS-enabled absorptive capacity significantly drives manager and employee knowledge performance. This research enriches the understanding of the relationships among IS adoption, organizational capabilities, and organizational knowledge performance in U.S. public sectors.
