End user computing: how an organisation can maximise potential
STEP '97: Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Software Technology and Engineering Practice (STEP '97) (including CASE '97)

End user computing (EUC) is an activity that is attracting increasing interest from information systems (IS) researchers and business organisations. The vast increase over recent years of the use of IT as part of everyday business activities, and the ...
Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and user acceptance of information technology

Valid measurement scales for predicting user acceptance of computers are in short supply. Most subjective measures used in practice are unvalidated, and their relationship to system usage is unknown. The present research develops and validates new ...
A Discrepancy Model of End-User Computing Involvement

Within the context of traditional data processing, the MIS literature has devoted considerable attention to the relationship between user involvement and MIS success: unfortunately, this research has produced conflicting results. After reviewing these ...
