Abstract

Knowledge work is weakly structured, highly diverse and fast changing and thus needs flexible, personalised support by software. Situational applications are a new breed of software that is assumed to fit to the types of tasks and contextual requirements encountered in knowledge work settings. Furthermore, their application is supposed to result in shorter time-to-proficiency. The main goal of this paper is to discuss these assumptions taking the constructs of the task-technology fit model as well as the relationships among them into account. Based on the model, three propositions are developed and discussed.
