TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Stei, Gerald A1 - Rossmann, Alexander T1 - Understanding the determinants of enterprise social network use T2 - 4th IEEE International Conference on Collaboration and Internet Computing : CIC 2018 : 18-20 October 2018, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA : proceedings N2 - This research addresses the question of why employees use enterprise social networks (ESN). Against the background of technology acceptance research, we propose an extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model, adapt it to an ESN context, and test our model against data from ESN users of large and medium-sized enterprises. We use partial least squares structural equation modeling to gain insights into the determinants of ESN use. This paper contributes to ESN acceptance research by evaluating a model containing determinants of ESN use. It also examines the effects of determinants on five different usage dimensions of ESN. The results reveal that facilitating conditions are the main driver of ESN use while the impact of intention to use is comparably small. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
