“…Also, the examination of the factors that drive technology adoption within hospitals is still relatively lagging compared to other industries (Escobar-Rodríguez & Romero-Alonso, 2013;Schnall & Bakken, 2011). Another point that needs to be considered is that the majority of empirical studies addressing the issue of HIS adoption were conducted in western and developed countries (Escobar-Rodríguez & Romero-Alonso, 2013;McGinn et al, 2011;Venkatesh et al, 2011), which encouraged the current study to investigate this issue within the new environment of Iraq as each context and each society has its own specificity and its own circumstances that differs from other contexts (Castillo, Martínez-García, & Pulido, 2010;Holden & Karsh, 2010;Novak et al, 2012;Venkatesh et al, 2011;Venkatesh & Zhang, 2010), and it would be misleading to conclude that there is one suitable solution for all scenarios (Boonstra & Broekhuis, 2010). The previous reasons in addition to the troubled situation of HIS in Iraqi public hospitals (Al Hilfi et al, 2013;Ali, Abdulsalam, & Hasan, 2011) have stimulated this study to empirically investigate this important issue by examining the important factors that influence the healthcare staff's attitude in Iraqi public hospitals.…”
