Information technology implementation styles and their relation with workers’ subjective well‐being

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the information technology implementation styles in companies and their relation with different indicators of shop floor workers' subjective well‐being. The sample is composed of 11 tile production companies and 285 workers. Results from cluster analysis show two main implementation styles, so‐called “continuous implementation style” and “first‐time implementation style”. Besides, results from MANOVA show significant differences in workers' cognitive well‐being (i.e. job satisfaction, role ambiguity, and positive attitudes toward information technology) but no significant differences in workers' affective well‐being (i.e. job related enthusiasm, job related comfort and general mental health) due to information technology implementation styles. Limitations and future research are discussed.
