Recently, due to the outside competitive pressure and the constringent policy of health care payment along with the diffusion of health knowledge, has made the medical institutions and hospitals in Taiwan have to enhance the medical quality and to lower the medical cost on the premise that the patients are on the top priority. However, the high resignation rate of the doctors and paramedics as well as the high frequency of the hospital accreditation have made the hospitals, which are knowledge-intense organizations, forced to properly manage the knowledge assets in order to survive in the super-competitive environment of medical care. In the meantime, knowledge management comes out with this trend. More and more executives of the medical institutions and hospitals in Taiwan also start using the knowledge management systems or knowledge repository systems to manage the knowledge assets of the organizations. Based on Davis et al. (1992)'s motivation model, the purpose of the present study is to integrate technological factors and social factors to explore the behavioral intention of health knowledge repository systems. A framework of health knowledge repository systems´ behavioral intention model was proposed and verified by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Our findings showed that (1) Organizational support has significantly positive effect on technological factors and trust factors. (2) Technological factors and trust factors jointly have significantly positive effect on perceived usefulness, subjective norm, and perceived enjoyment. (3) Perceived usefulness, subjective norm, and perceived enjoyment jointly have significantly positive effect on behavioral intention. (4) Subjective norm has significantly positive effect on perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment. (5) According to the comparison of the direct effects of all constructs, the rank of direct effect on behavioral intention is subjective norm, perceived enjoyment, and perceived usefulness. Meanwhile, trust factors have the greatest effect on perceived usefulness, subjective norm, and perceived enjoyment. (6) According to the comparison of total effects of all constructs, the rank of total effect on behavioral intention is trust factors, and organizational support. (7) Organizational support has indirect effect on subjective norm via technological factors and trust factors. The findings may be used as theoretical base for future research and can also offer empirical foresight to executives and managers of hospitals when they initially introduce the health knowledge repository systems into their organizations. |
