Abstract:
The evolution of ICT has contributed to the sudden growth in the use of Intranet in doing business. One of the areas in industry that is affected by the growth of Intranet is the port industry. However, the impact of Intranet implementation in terms of performance improvement and related benefits are still elusive. This ambiguity comes largely from the absence of empirically-based assessment of Intranet implementation especially in the Malaysian port industry. Thus, this paper examines resistance on port middle managers’ performance in an organisational context. The study was conducted over a nine-month period in various organisations in Malaysian port industry. 357 middle managers were used as our sample to ascertain how are critical success factors (i.e. task-technology fit, perceived resistance, user resistance and usage) influence managers’ performances. The results from structural equation modeling (SEM) indicate that task-technology fit has relationships with usage and perceived resistance. In addition, the study suggested that perceived resistance is a predictor of user resistance. As expected, usage predicts managers’ performance, but not user resistance. Finally, there is no relationship between usage and user resistance, and vice-versa.

Abstract:
This study investigates whether students with different backgrounds and attitudes towards computers influence their levels of computer skills. All Form Five (GCE 'O' Level equivalent) students from three different types of schools in the rural district of Segamat, Malaysia were sampled. The t-test and ANOVA results show that there were significantly different influences of the types of schools they enrolled in, their computer ownership and computer club memberships on their computer skills. The findings also revealed significant correlation between the four computer attitude subscales and the students' computer skills. Suggestions are provided on how the students' level of computer skills could be improved.

Abstract:
- Purpose – Using the extended task-technology fit (TTF) model, the purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of intranet usage on middle managers' performance in the port industry.
- Design/methodology/approach – The study was conducted on 357 middle managers from various organisations in the Malaysian port industry.
- Findings – The structural equation modelling results indicate that TTF and usage significantly explains the variance on managers' performance. TTF is a predictor of perceived usefulness and usage but it does not predict user resistance. Perceived usefulness is a predictor of usage but it does not predict user resistance. User resistance does not predict managers' performance.
- Research limitations/implications – The study focuses only on the port industry in Malaysia and concentrates only on the management perspective of intranet usage.
- Practical implications – The results provide insights on how the Malaysian port industry and other organisations of a similar structure could improve on their intranet adoption.
- Originality/value – This study is perhaps one of the first to address the intranet adoption in the port industry using a comprehensive, extended TTF model (perceived usefulness, usage, user resistance) to investigate their influences on individual job performance.

Abstract:
- Purpose – Using the extended task-technology fit (TTF) model, this paper attempts to determine whether task-technology fit, perceived resistance, user resistance and usage influence managers' performance.
- Design/methodology/approach – The study was conducted on 150 middle managers from various organisations in Malaysia's port industry.
- Findings – The structural equation modelling results reveal that task-technology fit is significantly related to usage and perceived resistance, and that perceived resistance is a predictor of usage. Usage predicts performance, but not user resistance. There is no relationship between usage and user resistance, and vice versa.
- Research limitations/implications – The study focuses on Malaysia's port industry and concentrates only on the management perspective of intranet usage.
- Practical implications – The results provide insights into how the Malaysian port industry and other organisations of a similar structure could enhance their intranet usage.
- Originality/value – This study is one of the first to address intranet usage in the port industry, and introduces two importance factors (i.e. perceived resistance and user resistance) that influence managers' task performance.
