Purpose – The paper aims to examine the relationship between the key antecedents of hotel information
management system (HIMS) adoption and innovative work behavior (IWB) with attitudinal engagement as a
mediator.
Design/methodology/approach – Survey data were obtained from 297 full-time employees in five-star
hotels in Uganda. With the help of Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), seven hypotheses were tested and
analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Findings – Both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are significant determinants of IWB. The
study also confirms attitudinal engagement as a significant predictor of IWB. Importantly, attitudinal
engagement was found to be a partial mediator in both the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease–IWB
relationships.
Practical implications – The study’s findings will guide managers in formulating policies that promote
employee display of vigor, absorption and dedication to work. Hospitality and tourism firms can now keep their
workers abreast with the latest technology at work so as to help them exhibit engagement tendencies as well as
generating new ideas for the organization.
Originality/value – The proposed framework provides a fresh theoretical explanation for IWB in hotels with
perceived technology beliefs and attitudinal engagement as major drivers, hence contributing to the current
state of knowledge. The study demonstrates that engagement acts as a link for the transfer of part of the
contributions of both perceived usefulness (PUHIMS) and perceived ease of use of HIMS (PEUHIMS) into IWB |
