Abstract

This research-in-progress examines the impact of service climate on service productivity in IT departments in the context of enterprise system (ES) implementation. We propose that as an IT department provides internal services to other functional units in an organization, its service climate will determine its service productivity-in our case the contribution of ES to organizational performance. Furthermore, we propose that leadership factors will influence this relationship. Particularly, CIO's service leadership will positively influence service climate in the IT department, which in turn influences higher service productivity. CEO's transformational leadership moderates the relationship between service leadership and service climate. We outline the plan for our empirical study and discuss implications from our research. Our study aims to contribute to the service science literature by adapting service climate research to a new context-ES implementation inside organizations.
