Abstract

Background and purpose: Employee dissatisfaction with extant technology is one of the causes of shadow IT use. The selection of alternative technologies is determined by individual IT knowledge. In this study, we intend to examine the relationship between individual IT experience and the use of shadow IT in Indonesian higher education through two job characteristics, namely task identity and autonomy. Methods: This study collects and analyses data from 301 respondents at Indonesian universities with legal status using a quantitative methodology. The direct relationship in the research model was investigated using Smart-PLS data analysis. Results: The results of the study indicate that individual IT experience strongly supports the use of shadow IT by tertiary institutions with legal entities employees in Indonesia, either through task identity or job autonomy. Conclusion: In order for employees to feel satisfied, the organization must prioritize employee IT experience and the information technology requirements they require to complete their work. This can be accomplished by involving employees in the development of information technology. © 2023 Nurfitriansyah et al., published by Sciendo.
