The Effect of UTAUT Elements on the Risk Management Information System Adoption among Jordanian Hospitals: The Moderating Role of Top Management Support

This research investigates the relationship between UTAUT elements with Risk Management Information System (RMIS) Adoption. In addition, Top management support will be addressed as a moderating influence to assess how the support of the top management could increase or decrease the adoption of RMIS among Jordanian hospitals. The study focuses on Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions as key factors influencing RMIS Adoption. A quantitative approach was employed, with 410 structured questionnaires distributed among hospitals in Jordan. The questionnaire used a five-point Likert scale to measure variables. The findings indicate a significant relationship between Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Condition and RMIS Adoption. In addition, the study found that there is a moderating effect of Top management support on the relationships between Performance Expectancy, Facilitating Condition, and RMIS Adoption, while it was found that there is no moderating effect of Top management support on the relationships between Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and RMIS Adoption. The practical implications of this research findings offer valuable insights for organizations, particularly in the healthcare sector in Jordan, aiming to implement and enhance the adoption of Risk Management Information Systems (RMIS). These implications provide actionable guidance for decision-makers, administrators, and policymakers to optimize the effectiveness of their strategies.
