开源软件的社会性协作特点在全球软件行业发展和Web 2.0新兴应用扩散中产生了深刻的影响,其采纳对于政府组织服务能力提升所具有的作用也逐渐得到国内外学术界的关注.基于组织层面信息通信技术采纳的TOE框架,提出了一个政府组织环境下的开源软件采纳影响因素模型,并运用案例分析的研究方法,在北京市政府部门中开展了针对性的访谈调研,对模型进行了实证检验和修正,同时使用该模型分析了北京市政府部门开源软件采纳现状及其成因,研究结果较好地显示了该模型的解释能力.在此基础上,提出了关于政府部门开源软件采纳问题的政策建议.
Open source software has deeply impacted the development of the global software industry and emerging Web 2.0 applications with its inherent ideation of social collaboration.The effects of open source software adoption on the improvement of the service capabilities of governmental organizations have also attracted increasing interest in the IS academic area.Based on the TOE framework for organizational level ICT adoption,this paper proposes a conceptual model for examining the adoption of open source software in the governmental organizational context.A positivist case study is conducted in the government agencies of Beijing,China,so as to validate and develop the proposed model,as well as to investigate the adoption status and related influence mechanisms.Findings from the analysis demonstrate the explanatory validity of the model,and provide potentially helpful insights for future practice.
