The Determinants of XBRL Adoption for External and Internal Purposes: A Structural Equation Model

International Journal of Accounting Information Systems

2012-06-01

Prior research has investigated organizational adoption of inter-organizational Information Technology (IT) using the Technological–Organizational–Environmental (TOE) framework. While that research has yielded important insights into the adoption of inter-organizational IT, new technologies, such as XBRL, can be used inter-organizationally or internally. As such, testing the TOE framework in both an internal and inter-organizational context is vital because the independent variables explaining internal adoption may be different from those explaining inter-organizational adoption. Using XBRL as a representative example, the TOE framework is used in this study to investigate XBRL adoption for both internal and inter-organizational purposes.

Explaining Developer Attitude Toward Using Formalized Commercial Methodologies: Decomposing Perceived Usefulness

Information Resources Management Journal

2012-01-01

Although software development methodologies can improve software quality, developers typically have a negative attitude toward using them. To encourage a positive attitude, organizations must convince developers of the usefulness of methodologies. However, the traditional conceptualization of perceived usefulness PU may not be detailed enough to explain and engender positive developer attitudes toward methodologies. To determine the ways in which a methodology is useful, in this paper, the authors propose and test a multidimensional conceptualization of PU. A survey of software developers suggests that in the context of methodologies, PU is multidimensional, helping developers achieve a variety of objectives.

Understanding the Intention to Adopt XBRL: An Environmental Perspective

Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting

2011-02-01

Based on a survey of 52 U.S.-based organizations, this study investigates the influence of perceptions of environmental factors on an organization’s intention to adopt XBRL, after controlling for the SEC mandate. Reflecting the view of XBRL as both a technical innovation and a standard for financial reporting, the selection of environmental factors was derived from institutional theory and from the standards adoption literature. The results suggest that perceived mimetic and normative pressures as well as perceptions of network technologies and related technologies that facilitate the use of XBRL exert a significant positive influence on XBRL adoption even after controlling for the effects of the SEC mandate.
