This study investigated how employees’ information technology (IT) competency is associated with employee agility via perceived task structure. Most scholar’s emphasis is on the impact of IT competency on individual work performance; however, it seems as if no attention has been given to explore the relationship between IT competency on employee’s agility through perceived task structure. This research offers and tests a new comprehensive model that links the individual’s IT competency with perceived task structure and employee agility. Data were gathered from 167 representatives who used various IT applications for daily work routines in the organization. Findings showed that IT competency is positively related to task interdependence and autonomy. Task autonomy also has significant effect on employee agility; however, task interdependence has shown insignificant effect on employee agility. Furthermore, work expertise positively moderates the relationship between IT competency and perceived task structure. Theoretical and managerial implications of study are also discussed in the last section.

E-Learning applied to computer programming course design is a promising area of research. The student having clear understanding of the programming constructs can apply it to solve various problems. Because of limited time and availability, the instructor can go back to some extent to cover the weaknesses of their students that hinder the understanding of the problems. As more lessons are covered, the weak students become weaker in programming. To cope up with these problems an e-learning system is devised which the student can use anywhere and at any time as a web application. It comprises of both tutoring and assessment and also provides guiding the students to error correction using back-tracking technique to refine the concepts and reattempt the programming problem.

ABSTRACT

In the last decade, Business Intelligence (BI) became a predictable technological advantage of the large enterprises which could afford to buy, implement and maintain BI solutions. Presently, small and medium size enterprises all over the globe have realized competitive and financial benefits of BI. However, limited IT budgets of small companies and BI's high total cost of ownership have created a gap between large and small enterprises where small enterprises do not become fortunate to avail the virtues of BI because of the affordability factor. This research proposes a BI framework which provides automated data mapping, loading from user application to BI framework and also validates it. The implementation of the proposed framework provides convenience of use and effective cost saving as it does not require any technical expertise and any non-technical user can get on with it very well.
