How organizational innovation adoption decisions occur is not consistent among various innovation opportunities. Decisions are made based on the stimulus and direction of the innovation's introduction which comprise the term I call thrust. The thrust stimulus is a technology-push or a need-pull while the thrust direction is top-down or bottom-up. The research proposed that the thrust of an innovation imposes an adoption decision-making process differentiating it from other innovation adoption decisions. Fact finding interviews of project managers were conducted to determine candidate projects to serve as a basis for examining the relationship of thrust to variability in innovation adoption decisions. Two expert panels were assembled to validate the decision model attribute selection and survey instrument designed for use in this study. We tested four hypotheses using data obtained from a survey instrument administered to participants from within a military information technology organization. It was found in this research that a profound relationship exists between the innovation thrust and adoption decision-making allowing us to infer that people are inconsistent at making decisions and this inconsistency can be traced to how the innovation came to be introduced into the organization. This result is consistent with the observations of the researcher in the organization that was studied.
