Abstract :

People live currently in a dynamic world where technology is at the center of everything. Organizations implement sophisticated information technologies in their businesses to achieve competitive advantage, and also to achieve their objective goals. Currently, information technologies aid organisation success as they support business processes and operational functions. This has placed a challenge on employees as they find themselves keeping up with the changes. This study will look at how new and changing information technology can be adopted by employees, as the success of implementation of any technology in an organisation lies in employees adapting to the change. The study will be investigated at Fan Milk PLC a leading manufacturer and marketer of healthy, nutritious and safe frozen dairy and non-frozen dairy food products with distribution channels across the length and breadth of Nigeria. The focus will be on factors that influence employee’s adopting changing information technology. User resistance, user acceptance, individual performance, individual experience, level of education and age difference will be the factors to be considered. The positive and negative influence of these factors on an organisation will be determined and discussed in this study.

Keywords : user resistance, user adaptation, individual performance, age difference.
