Abstract: Value of information systems at the organizational and process levels has been addressed by many IS researchers.However, value-addition of IS at the individual level has not been studied extensively.In this paper, we build on the rich research tradition of linking behavioral antecedents of IS use and extend it to study IS value-addition at individual level.Our study focuses on the antecedents of IS-enabled individual productivity.We conceptualize IS-enabled productivity as a process output which is co-determined by behavioral antecedents and the nature of IS use.We tested our research model by surveying 482 individuals and collected data across two IS applications.Our research model is validated both at the aggregate level and across the two individual IS applications.The study results confirm our proposition that the quality of the use process is as important as the extent or duration of use of an information system while determining IS enabled productivity.Based on study findings, we provide theoretical and managerial implications of the relationship between productivity and IS use.
