The paper presented by Professor Wong explores how employees behave when faced with information systems (IS) that inadequately support their work. Previous research has not fully understood the relationship between information system imperfections and employee avoidance behavior. Drawing on workaround theory and coping theory, the authors develop a research model that links inadequate IS with corporate policy and employee attitudes to workaround behaviour. The paper discusses the implications of the study for practice and research, as well as future directions and theoretical possibilities.
