The effect of task technology fit toward individual performance on the Generation X (1956–1980) using information technology

Abstract

The generation is defined as a group of individuals who were born in the same birth ranges, which at that time had formed the uniqueness of the experience, history or the same era. The rapidly evolving technological developments lead to Generation X (1956-1980) having different perspectives, thoughts, ideas in using information technology to complete its work. This study aims to the relationship between the task-technology fit (TTF) affecting utilization and individual performance impact on Generation X in the usage of information technology. The method that is used is PLS-SEM with 101 respondents from Generation X in Mulawarman University. The results showed the empirical model is able to explain 64.7% of the variance of individual performance impact on Generation X in using of information technology at the Mulawarman University. The research proves task-technology fit are factors that affect the generation x in the use information technology services, task-technology fit and utilization is a factor that has a significant positive relationship effects on individual performance improvement the generation x in using of information technology services at the Mulawarman University. The results of this study revealed that the better the suitability of the information technology to the user's tasks (task-technology fit) in Generation x at the Mulawarman University, influence in increasing the utilization and improving the performance of individuals impact on generation x in using information technology.
