Dear Colleagues,

The Australasian Journal of Information Systems (AJIS) has just published
three new articles in its second Research Article section of its volume 27:

Technology adoption is an important solution for physicians to increase
work efficiency, and thus deal with role conflict among their multiple job
roles. Prior studies have not investigated how multiple job roles and role
conflict influence physicians’ technology adoption intentions. Based on
role strain theory and role identity theory, we present a model of
physicians’ technology adoption intentions to support their primary
(clinical care) versus secondary (teaching or research) job roles. We test
the model using surveys with 156 physicians at nine medical schools in
Korea. The results of our data analysis largely support our hypotheses.
Role overload in each of their job roles increases role conflict between
any pair of associated roles. Furthermore, role conflict between a
physician’s primary and secondary role is affected more by role overload in
the secondary role than by overload in the primary role. Moreover, the
impact of role conflict on technology adoption intentions is also
influenced by the hierarchical relationship between two roles. This study
contributes to technology adoption research by demonstrating how
physicians’ job characteristics affect technology adoption.

*Defining Digital Wellbeing Literacy in Remote Work Integrated Learning*

The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote Work-Integrated
Learning (WIL) programs for Higher Education (HE) students, fostered by
advances in digital technologies. Emerging as a new post-covid normal, the
‘remote workplace’ and remote WIL brings further challenges with students
expressing anxiety in dealing with this new form of working environment.
Having the capacity to talk about wellbeing issues with others is an
important wellbeing literacy (WL) skill. This paper addresses the need for
a better understanding of wellbeing literacy (WL) skills in remote WIL
workplaces. Interpreting WL in remote settings can further the definition
of WL by extending it to a digital context.   In contributing to
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) research and the emerging field
of WL, this paper explores how WIL students develop WL skills in a remote
setting, which we define as Digital Wellbeing Literacy (DWL). In-depth
interviews were held with WIL academics, WIL professionals, WIL students
and wellbeing experts on digital and pedagogical factors that support WL in
remote work. We found that students proactively use digital communication
tools and social media to communicate wellbeing concerns, which in turn
helps them practice DWL. We propose four strategies toward improving DWL in
HE WIL offerings.

*How Big Five Personality Traits affect Information and Communication
Technology Use: A Meta-Analysis*

This study performed a meta-analysis of forty-eight studies to synthesize
existing literature examining the relationship between ‘Big Five’
personality traits and the use of various Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs). We conducted sub-group analysis to investigate the
potential moderators on the relationship between personality and ICT use.
The results largely reveal that the ‘Big Five’ personality traits are
significantly associated with the use of various ICTs. Specifically,
‘extroversion’ showed the strongest association with social networking,
along with business and commerce-based ICTs, while ‘openness’ had the
highest correlations with career and education, and information-based ICTs.
The results also identified technology type, region of the country, and
voluntariness as potential moderators. This paper offers theoretical and
practical implications that researchers could embrace in enhancing
understanding of traits-technology fit, and technology providers in
improving crafting, marketing, and delivering technology at the individual,
organizational, national, and global levels.
