Leader Personality and the Success of I.T. Innovation Adoption in a Small Group Setting

Nikhil R. Bandodkar, Clemson University

ABSTRACT
IT innovation adoption is a recurring and important topic in Information Systems (IS) research. Prior research posits a diverse array of tasks associated with each phase of the IT innovation adoption process. Alternately, literature in leadership demonstrates the galvanizing potential of leaders in achieving common goals. In this paper, we describe a proposed study that bridges two literature streams i.e., IS and leadership, to map and align the personality traits of leaders of small groups that are most beneficial during each phase of the IT innovation adoption process.
