Conceptualizing a Business Process Knowledge Construct

Published:04 June 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper provides a glimpse of an ongoing dissertation effort evolving a new theory that enhances existing explanations and predictions related to information systems (IS) use. The new theory defends the existence of a construct labeled Perceived Business Process Knowledge (PBPK). The author hopes to: 1) define PBPK and 2) identify its relationship to attitudes associated with use of IS in organizational environments. The endeavor also encompasses developing an associated measure. This paper offers a short discussion of challenges faced in the PBPK theory and construct development effort, as well as, future goals that may help others.
