Abstract

In this paper we explore the relationship between the organizational climate for innovation and ICT implementation success, defined as the stage in which end-users highly appropriate the newly implemented ICT. This explora- tion is guided by the question: how are organizational climate for innovation implementation and end-user appropriation of ICT related? We carried out a longitudinal case study in a hospital where new ICT had been implemented. We analyzed the organizational climate for innovation and end-user appropriation by means of discourse analysis. This led to the conclusion the relationship be- tween organizational climate and end-user appropriation needs to be redefined.
