Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of self readiness in information system (IS) which is rarely debated either at organizational level or development phases.Most management in organizations or IS developers usually do not show their interest in discussing the role of self-readiness in depth while bringing the IS into organizations, and more focused on user involvement issues.Self-readiness is a self-mechanism in human being to adapt to a new environment and it is a common understanding of human perception in adaptation activity.However, the debate on the concept of self-readiness is remain silent, until the emergence in technology changes bring new challenges to IS users in adapting themselves with technology overload.This study first overview the theory that derived self-readiness concept and secondly reviews the research stream related on self-readiness. Evidences from past literature's suggest that self- readiness has generally positive impact on user adaptation in IS usage.The level of individual self-readiness may varied and understanding the right level of self-readiness will lead to better knowledge on how IS is adapted in organizational context. The main contribution of this paper lies in discussion on how self-readiness can be adapted in IS at organization level and more importantly as a mechanism to inform organization employees‟ readiness level.
