ISD research based on the socio-technical perspective suggests that two sources of socio-technical change have a bearing on the performance of ISD projects: business requirements and development technology. To enhance project effectiveness, ISD teams need to be flexible in the face of the constant changes from business and technical environments where they operate. The construct, ISD Team Flexibility, is used to describe an ISD team’s capability to respond to changes from socio-technical environment. Furthermore, drawn on social capital view, this study explores the factors explaining the variation of SDTF among ISD teams. Finally, this study posits that the impact of SDTF on project performance is mediated by team efficacy. A model depicting the nomological relationships between the constructs is developed.
