Most studies in organizational commitment that conducted in Asian cities employed the three-component model of Meyer and Allen (1991). The five-component organizational commitment model of Wang (2004) had provided a better explanation of organization commitment behaviour in her research. In order to evaluate the appropriateness of Wang’s model, this research used her five-component model in studying the organizational commitment in Hong Kong. This research also provided an evaluation of its results with other relevant research in Asian cities in order to compare the organizational commitment behaviour in this area. Data was collected from 310 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professionals in Hong Kong. Results indicate that Wang’s model is more appropriate than other western models in describing employees’ commitment in Hong Kong. By comparing the data collected in this research and recent findings from other researchers in Asian cities, the evaluation of these results indicates that the level of organizational commitment in Hong Kong is higher than those in other Asian cities.

The purpose of this study is to assess how information and communication technology (ICT) adoption influences organizational performance (OP) during the Covid-19 pandemic by highlighting psychometric variables such as employees’ organizational commitment (OC), growth mindset (GM), and entrepreneurial orientation (EO). Based on the complementarity theory, we built a theoretical framework where OC, GM, and EO mediate the influence of ICT on OP and tested hypotheses proposed. Responses of 297 employees from agriculture cooperatives in Côte d’Ivoire were obtained on the basis of questionnaires which composed the data for this study. The empirical analysis affirmed the significant and positive effect of ICT adoption on OP, and the significant mediating effect of OC and GM in the relationship between ICT adoption and OP. However, the role of EO in mediating the influence of ICT adoption on OP is insignificant. This research increases understanding of the underlying process of the relationship between ICT adoption and organizational performance during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
