Is Information Quality in the Passenger Transport Industry Affected by New Booking Technologies? : — A Comparison of Perceived Information Quality and Logged Deviation Data (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker hur informationskvaliteten påverkas av en övergång från digitala beställningsblanketter som skickas via e-post till en webbaserad bokningsmodul inom offentligt upphandlade omsorgsresor. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ fallstudie vid ett svenskt transportbolag. Det empiriska materialet bestod av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med samtliga medarbetare som arbetar med bokningshantering samt avvikelsedata från två jämförbara 40-veckorsperioder före respektive efter införandet av den webbaserade bokningsmodulen. Wang och Strongs (1996) ramverk för datakvalitet användes som analytiskt verktyg. Resultaten visar att informationskvaliteten förbättrades efter systemövergången, framför allt avseende riktighet, fullständighet, aktualitet och tillgänglighet. Avvikelsedatan visar samtidigt en minskning av det totala antalet registrerade avvikelser med 43 procent mellan de undersökta perioderna. Studien identifierar även nya typer av problem kopplade till den nya systemdesignen, bland annat adressordningsfel och minskad flexibilitet vid vissa bokningar. Studien visar att systemdesign kan bidra till förbättrad informationskvalitet genom att begränsa möjligheten att registrera felaktig eller ofullständig information. Resultaten tyder samtidigt på att systemdesign inte enbart påverkar informationskvalitetens utfall utan också omfördelar var fel uppstår och hur ansvaret för informationskvalitet fördelas mellan användare och system.

Abstract [en]

This study examines how information quality is affected by a transition from digital order forms submitted via email to a web-based booking module within publicly procured care transport services. The study was conducted as a qualitative case study at a Swedish transport company. The empirical material consisted of semi-structured interviews with all employees responsible for booking administration, complemented by deviation data from two comparable 40-week periods before and after the implementation of the web-based booking module. Wang and Strong’s (1996) data quality framework was used as the analytical tool. The results indicate that information quality improved following the system transition, particularly in terms of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and accessibility. The deviation data simultaneously showed a 43 percent reduction in the total number of registered deviations between the two periods. The study also identified new challenges associated with the new system design, including address-sequencing errors and reduced flexibility when booking trips to addresses outside the approved address register. The findings suggest that system design can improve information quality by limiting opportunities to register incomplete or incorrect information. At the same time, the results indicate that system design not only affects information quality outcomes but also redistributes where errors occur and how responsibility for information quality is divided between users and the system itself.
