Information Systems Usage Issues in Agricultural Organisations: Exploratory Status Quo Bias Theory Perspective

Despite the great potential of information systems to deliver innovative solutions, farm stakeholders tend to lack the enthusiasm to use information systems solutions, demonstrating a degree of resistance. The research was conducted to explain why information systems usage issues are observed in agricultural organisations and how the farm stakeholders' status quo bias gives rise to information systems usage issues. This research makes an essential contribution by extending the existing theoretical knowledge of Status quo bias theory by incorporating three new constructs to the status quo bias theory. Risk and Uncertainty, Innate Conservatism, and Work Impediments are the three new constructs.
