“…Even in India, it has been observed that the computerization has led towards implementation of a good information system for service delivery, planning, monitoring, and supervision [19]. To achieve what have been discussed above, in summary, it is necessary to consider [20][21][22] (a) free information flow which is enabled by provision of technological infrastructure and organizational culture that secures support, enthusiasm and cooperation of staff and management; (b) information to be sent in a way that is useful to others without compromising confidentiality and packaged for all partners with considerable integration across organizational barriers; (c) working cooperatively and sharing information within and outside; and (d) information channels that guide workers to the pertinent data.…”

“…To ease workloads, MoH deployed statistical/data clerks to manage data and introduced DHIS2 mobile to some health facilities. Although mobiles are used for reporting at health facilities in order to improve the information flow by enhancing the technological infrastructure [20][21][22], paper forms are still in use which results in increasing workload for statistical clerks. According to Moyo et al [36], some challenges of using the DHIS2 mobile are technical while others are organizational in nature: for example, mobiles not functioning, poor screens for data entry, lack of management commitment, and even individual attitudes towards the technology.…”

“…This issue can be dealt with by providing more people in the health sector with access to the system, but it would furthermore require that this access is followed up by training. This can also promote a free information flow and practices of information sharing among information users [20][21][22].…”

“…Scholars, therefore, have highlighted the role of organizational factors within firms that drive these relationships. One such increasingly considered organizational factor is information culture (Choo, 2013;Curry and Moore, 2003;Ginman, 1988). We understand information culture as a subset of the overall organizational culture in which the value and utility of information in achieving operational and strategic success is recognized and where information forms the basis of organizational decision making (Curry and Moore, 2003).…”

Although the constituents of information systems success and their relationships have been well documented in the business value of information technology literature, our understanding of how information behaviors and values affect the relationships among strategic information systems success dimensions is limited. In response, we conduct a quantitative study of 146 medium and large firms that have implemented a business intelligence system in their operations. Our results highlight that information sharing values, information informality, and information proactiveness act as significant moderators of information systems success relationships amidst volitional environment.  Information use depends on information quality and system use intention. Information sharing subdues information quality -information use link. Increasing informality suppresses system quality influence on system use intention. Increasing proactiveness fortifies information use -system use relationship.1

Purpose -This study aims to empirically investigate how new healthcare professionals engage with information practices and information culture in their workplace, and the resulting influences on development and change. Design/methodology/approach -A longitudinal study was conducted on a hospital training programme. Three series of focus groups provided data from 18 recently qualified nurses, supported by observations. The data was thematically analysed applying a framework consisting of six approaches to information use. Findings -Newcomers take a proactive approach to seek, use and share scientific information, which is negotiated within existing information practices and organisational information culture. Their competencies, such as research skills, values, motivation and sense of integrity to use and share scientific information, often differ from those existing workplace practices. For this reason they drive towards renewal and change. Practical implications -Examination of organisational approaches to information use indicates clearly the necessity for improvements to meet the needs of information proactiveness and thus be able to face challenges and changes in an organisation. Originality/value -This work sheds new light on newcomers' information use, as they integrate into a workplace and interact with information practices and organisational approaches to information use. A significant contribution is the identification of the dynamics and interdependencies between newcomers' individual agency in their way of seeking, using and sharing information, and the established community's social agency promoting existing information practices and the organisational agency represented by information culture.Journal of Documentation: https://doi
