Attitudes toward New Organizational Technology: Network Proximity as a Mechanism for Social Information Processing.

Rice, Ronald E.; Aydin, Carolyn

Administrative Science Quarterly, v36 n2 p219-44 Jun 1991

Tests three network-based mechanisms whereby individuals' attitudes toward an integrated health information system may be influenced by the attitudes of proximate sources of social information. Estimates of generalized others' attitudes are not convincingly associated with specified others' actual attitudes. Others' attitudes have a small effect on one's attitude. (73 references) (MLH)
