The application development process: What role does it play in the success of an application for the user developer?

End user development of applications forms a significant part of organisational systems development. This study investigates the role that developing an application plays in the eventual success of the application for the user developer. The results of this study suggest that the process of developing an application not only predisposes an end user developer to be more satisfied with the application than they would be if it were developed by another end user, but also leads them to perform better with it. Thus the results of the study highlight the contribution of the process of application development to application success

Measuring Process Modelling Success

Process-modelling has seen widespread acceptance, par ticularly on large IT-enabled Business Process Reengineering projects. It is applied, as a process design and management technique, across all life-cycle phases of a system. While there has been much research on aspects of process-modelling, little attention has focused on post-hoc evaluation of process-modelling success. This paper addresses this gap, and presents a process-modelling success measurement (PMS) framework, which includes the dimensions: process-model quality; model use; user satisfaction; and process modelling impact. Measurement items for each dimension are also suggested

End user development: Satisfaction with tools and satisfaction with applications

This study explored the relationship between end user developers’ perceptions of their applications and their perceptions of the tools used to create them. Satisfaction with a user developed application was found to be significantly correlated with satisfaction with the tool used to create the application. The role of experience in this relationship was also explored, and possible implications of the findings are discussed

User Satisfaction Using Webqual Instrument: a Research on Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)

User satisfaction held an important position in an organization to measure information system implementation excellence. Therefore, it is necessary for an organization to evaluate their delivered service using end-user satisfaction as feedback. The objectives of this study are to evaluate user satisfaction and examine the dimensions of WEBQUAL instrument which are valued by e-library user in Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). This research conducted under WEBQUAL theory (Barnes and Vidgen) and end-user satisfaction theory (Doll and Torkzadeh). Analysis organized from a set of data which involve 341 responses from e-library systems end-users confirm some degree of positive association between WEBQUAL dimensions and end-user satisfaction

An Empirical Assessment of Energy Management Information System Success Using Structural Equation Modeling

The Energy Industry utilizes Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS) smart meters to monitor utility consumers’ energy consumption, communicate energy consumption information to consumers, and to collect a plethora of energy consumption data about consumer usage. The EMIS energy consumption information is typically presented to utility consumers via a smart meter web portal. The hope is that EMIS web portal use will aid utility consumers in managing their energy consumption by helping them make effective decisions regarding their energy usage. However, little research exists that evaluates the effectiveness or success of an EMIS smart meter web portal from a utility consumer perspective. The research goal was to measure EMIS smart meter web portal success based on the DeLone and McLean Information Success Model. The objective of the study was to investigate the success constructs system quality, information quality, service quality, use, and user satisfaction, and determine their contribution to EMIS success, which was measured as net benefits. The research model used in this study employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) to determine the validity and reliability of the measurement model and to evaluate the hypothetical relationships in the structural model. The significant validity and reliability measures obtained in this study indicate that the DeLone and McLean Information Success Model (2003) has the potential for use in future EMIS studies. The determinants responsible for explaining the variance in net benefits were EMIS use and user satisfaction. Based on the research findings, several implications and future research are stated and proposed

Validating an End-User Computing Satisfaction Instrument: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis Approach Using International Data

This study evaluates the construct validity of an end-user computing satisfaction scale in the context of the Korean culture. The structure and dimensionality, reliability and validity of an end-user computing satisfaction (EUCS) instrument were cross-validated using data obtained from 108 managers of Korean firms in the context of the end-user satisfaction with their office information system. The results of this study are generally consistent with previous findings regarding the measurement property of this instrument. However, Korean data also supports the five correlated first-order factors model. Managerial and research implications of the identified results are discussed

Avaliando o nível de satisfação dos usuários finais do Sistema Integrado de Administração Financeira do Governo Federal (SIAFI): um estudo de caso

Evaluating the impact of technology investments is a complex task. I examine whether the end-user satisfaction is a valid measurement of technology performance in the public sector. I evaluated information system users in the Integrated System of the Federal Government Financial Administration (SIAFI). The Siafi system supports Brazilian federal government entities. Using a survey, I collected data from 77 users. I used the model and the instrument developed by Doll and Torkzadeh (1988). I used confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the data. The survey results validated the model used for technology employed in the public sector.Avaliar o impacto de investimentos em tecnologia é uma tarefa complexa.

Business Intelligence & Analytics (BI&A) Systems:Measuring End-User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS)

Business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) have become part of almost every com- pany/organisation nowadays, as the benefits of a successful adoption are many. However, the failure scenarios are many as well, with companies/organisations facing dissatisfied employ- ees who do not use the BI&A tools because they find them difficult to use -despite the train- ings-, and others who start using them and then stop this usage. In an effort to help compa- nies/organisations who want to adopt or have adopted a BI&A solution to understand their employees, as well as BI&A vendors to understand their end-users, we conducted this study where we examined the relationships among training, system usage, EUCS and UCI. What is more, we decided to focus only to descriptive BI&A as it is the type of BI&A that is mostly adopted by companies/organisations. The data needed for the study was collected with the help of a questionnaire-based survey and four hypotheses were developed for our literature- based proposed model. Data analysis was conducted with Excel, SPSS and AMOS and all of our hypotheses were confirmed. This is a sign that companies/organisations should keep in- vesting on training in order to achieve higher levels of BI&A usage and eventually higher levels of EUCS and UCI

THE EFFECTS OF USER PARTICIPATION ON SYSTEM SUCCESS: TOWARD A CONTINGENCY THEORY OF USER SATESFACTION

User participation is an important construct in IS research. It is also a frequently employed practical implementation strategy. However, research findings concerning the effects of user participation on system success are mixed and inconclusive. This study reviews a contingency theory of attitude change, proposes competing models, and empirically tests the models in end-user computing involving multiple end-user groups. Results lend support to the Cognition Fit Model. Other models receive only partial support

Implementation Success of Clinician Information Systems in Healthcare Contexts

The success of information systems in healthcare contexts is becoming increasingly important as the healthcare profession continues to adopt information systems for its internal operations. Using the DeLone and McLean model of information systems success that has found traction in a variety of research contexts, we develop a model for examining the success of clinician information systems. Our research model, while grounded in prior literature on information systems success, also benefits from insights gained from preliminary interviews and surveys of healthcare professionals and clinicians. The pilot round of data collection is planned for next month and actual data collection for summer; we will present preliminary findings at the conference
