Conceptual overview of deontic and instrumental technology perceptions
Source publication
Purpose
For decades, organizational research has primarily considered instrumental technology perceptions (ITP) – emphasizing how technology impacts the personal interests of end users themselves – to understand technology acceptance. The authors offer a complementary paradigm by introducing deontic technology perceptions (DTP), defined as the degr...

... contrast, we argue that ITP are distinct and defined as the degree to which individuals believe that the technology they use at work affects or benefits the users themselves. Because we recognize potential overlap -that is, technology use at work can benefit both the individual user and an external party simultaneously -we present this conceptualization in Figure 1 in the form of a Venn diagram. Since our study is based on a sample of nurses, we also provide relevant examples in Figure 1 specific to the healthcare context. ...

... consistent with the notion of gain spirals and because DTP and ITP represent two distinct resources, we anticipate that the positive effects on work-related well-being will be highest when both DTP and ITP are experienced positively (i.e. the shared conceptual space in Figure 1). Indeed, evidence suggests that the presence of multiple resources combined can yield more positive outcomes (van Woerkom et al., 2016). ...

Taken together, the two pilot studies help substantiate our conceptualization in Figure 1 that DTP and ITP are two distinct perspectives with a smaller degree of overlap. ...

Metaverse has garnered considerable attention in recent times. Given its swift pace of development, it is imperative to study the adoption of the metaverse. This study analyses the perceptions and drivers influencing the behavioural intention to use the metaverse among Generation Z and millennials by employing a sequential mixed‐methods approach. In the first stage of the study, in‐depth expert interviews were conducted (n = 20), and the subsequent stage featured a countrywide survey (n = 1253). The outcomes of this study indicate that perceived usefulness, personal innovativeness, perceived enjoyment, facilitating conditions, telepresence, social presence, trust, and regulatory support influence attitudes and behavioural intentions towards the metaverse. The findings also reveal a significant difference in the strength of a few relationships across age, gender, and income levels, shedding light on the crucial factors for organisations seeking to position themselves strategically among various demographic groups. This study significantly contributes to the existing knowledge on emerging optimistic and pessimistic perceptions and factors affecting the adoption of the metaverse. By harnessing these outcomes, organisations can enhance the development and promotion of metaverse experiences.
