Abstract
The internet of things (IoT) in warehouse environments may present security issues and challenges. These issues and challenges may impact information technology (IT) leadership in warehouse environments because a lack of security strategy adoption may lead to increased network breaches. Grounded in the technology acceptance model, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between IT leaderships’ perceived ease-of-use, perceived usefulness of IoT devices, and their intent to adopt security strategies for IoT implementation in warehouse environments. Data were collected from IT leaders in North Texas warehouse environments using a peer-reviewed adoption survey from PsycTESTS.org. The results of the regression indicated that the model was insignificant, F(2, 66) = 1.721, p > .05, R2 = 0.50. However, IT leadership’s Perceived Usefulness (β = .233) contributed more to the model than IT leadership’s Perceived Ease of Use (β = -.044). A key recommendation is for IT leaders to incorporate strategies to increase their perceived ease of usefulness. The implications for social change include the potential to increase the efficiency of warehousing and ensure the successful delivery of product for citizens.
