Abstract
It is imperative for business to use network and distributed information technology in purpose of integrating resources among organizations, vendors, employees, and suppliers to maximize the value-added in the competitive business environment. This causes organizations to implement e-business at an accelerating pace and has fuelled predictions and speculations about how ready are their employees to embrace this new technology. Unfortunately, there is very sparse scholarly research paid on this issue. Thus, drawing on insights from the extant literature and interviews with practitioners, this article first proposes the construct of employee readiness for e-business (EREB) and its conceptualization. Then it describes a program of research that was undertaken to develop an EREB instrument by operationalizing the construct, defining and purifying a multi-item scale to measure it, and assessing the scale’s psychometric properties. By strictly iterative processes, a well-validated instrument was presented. The instrument and its comprehensive model proposed in this paper would be contributive to researchers and practitioners interested in designing, implementing, and managing e-business.
