The aim of this study is to explore the impact mechanisms of psychological learning climate on employees' innovative use of information systems (IS). Using structural equation modeling, this study develops a theoretical model to investigate how the psychological learning climate affects innovative IS use by introducing individual motivational factors as mediators. The model is tested through a survey of 163 employees using enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in China. The results suggest that psychological learning climate is positively related to innovative IS use both directly and indirectly. The indirect effect works through motivating employees' intrinsic motivation and creative self-efficiency. This study adds to the literature on IS use by identifying and examining the role of psychological learning climate as a driver of innovative IS use. The findings could provide managers with an understanding of how management can inspire employees' potential in IS innovation.

In the past decades, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have becomeincreasingly automated, particularly for routine management accounting tasks. However, therehas been little research investigating the accounting benefits of adopting ERP systems. Thisstudy investigates the role of perceived accounting benefits in ERP success. Drawing on Juran’sprinciple of ‘fitness for use,’ this study establishes a framework that captures how perceivedaccounting benefits influence effective system use, which, in turn, enhances enterprise success.Using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with survey datacollected from 120 enterprises in Vietnam that have implemented ERP, our findings providestrong support for the predicted positive effect of perceived accounting benefits on enterprisesuccess, and for the hypothesis that this relationship is fully mediated by effective system use.This study is novel for two reasons. First, it is one of the first attempts to provide empiricalevidence that effective system use and enterprise success are valuable outcomes of accountingbenefits perceived to be gained from the use of ERP systems. Second, it discovers anddemonstrates that effective system use is the most appropriate system-use concept in thepresent enterprise systems-related context, a topic that remains under discussion in theliterature.

Globally, governments are taking steps to help them increase their income generation margin by implementing tax administrative ERP systems. However, the impacts on the internal system users of these ERP system quality features have not drawn the attention needed. This study, therefore, examines the relationship between the information systems' (IS) quality and individual impact using the theoretical foundation of the DeLone and McLean IS success model and, secondly, addresses the interrelationships between the quality constructs of information systems (IS). The authors also used the structural equation modeling technique of partial least squares to evaluate and analyze the data. The results show that system quality, the information quality, and the service quality characteristics of the tax administrative ERP system have a strong positive impact on the success of the IS at the individual level. There is also a positive relationship between the information systems' (IS) quality construction. The results provide additional empirical observations and consequences for management.

Given the dearth of studies in developing and Asian countries’ context, the present study attempts to excavate the predictors of enterprise resource planning (ERP) adoption and implementation. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and open innovation literature, an extended model is proposed encompassing mediator and moderator variables. The study follows the deducting reasoning approach with the positivism paradigm. Out of 235 responses, the study used 225 replies collected through a self-administered sampling, and the data were analyzed by using PLS-based structural equation modeling. The study revealed that the hypothesized direct influences are significant except the influence of facilitating conditions on actual use. Likewise, the intention to use mediates the impact of facilitating conditions on the actual use of ERP. However, there is no moderating effect of education and firms’ size among the hypothesized influence. The study contributes to advance the previous findings by using an extended UTAUT model and validates results with the rest of the world.

Organizations in the current environment need to create and sustain their competitive advantages. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions are considered a strong tool that helps organizations to succeed and arise. But ERP projects’ implementation has relatively low success rates in which it may affect and shake the whole organizational performance. This study searches the power of software usability to achieve ERP Project Implementation Success (ERP-PIS) considering the mediating role of user information satisfaction (UIS). A set of research's hypotheses have been constructed. This study adapts a positivism view, using the survey strategy. The questionnaires were filled by 106 managers who use ERP systems or affected by ERP systems in different organizations. The findings of the research ensure the fitness of the model, and that mediation role of user information satisfaction (UIS) in Jordan is highly visible. Also, the research shows up the strong power of usability to achieve ERP-PIS. Based on the findings, development of ERP applications would be improved by software organizations in terms of usability, and organizations need to acquire ERP applications would also improve their decisions in choosing an ERP solution.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reveal the impact of usability and switching costs on user intention to switch information systems (IS), and to examine the mediating role of switching costs on the usability-intention to switch relationship. Design/methodology/approach – Using structural equation modeling, the research hypotheses tested in the context of forecasting IS using a web-based survey of 205 business forecasters. Findings – Results show that both perceived usability and switching costs negatively affect intention to switch; and switching costs, through specific constructs, mediate the relationship between usability and intention to switch IS. Research limitations/implications – Further research is needed for a more comprehensive understanding of the role of switching costs and to test the model in a longitudinal study and across different types of IS. Originality/value – This research contributes to a better understanding of the interplay between usability and switching costs factors and their impact on IS switching user intention. Based on the study findings, theoretical and practical implications for IS are identified and discussed.

The need for flexibility in organisations and information systems has long been recognised. Much research has been conducted to understand the flexibility concept in various types of information systems. Comparatively less research has been conducted to understand the process of managing flexibility in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This paper focuses on developing a conceptual framework for managing flexibility in ERP systems emphasising the need for a match between external and internal flexibilities. The application of the framework is illustrated with a case example. The framework is intended to understand ERP systems' flexibility enabled organisational performance. The framework will provide a basis to assess the impact of ERP systems' flexibility on organisations, to measure the internal and external flexibilities of ERP systems and to develop guidelines to manage flexibilities for ERP systems.

Abstract This study focused on to examine whether the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in a Peruvian education enterprise impacts on process management of enterprise which in turn enhance the performance of employees. Also, it is analyzed the impact of technology literacy on process management. Empirical data were collected using a survey questionnaire which was distributed to 142 ERP users in a Peruvian education enterprise to test the relationships among variables. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was analyzed the validity of construct and discriminant and, internal consistency by the composite reliability. ERP implementation has a positive impact in the performance of employees. The process management had a mediation effect between ERP implementation and performance. Also, technology literacy had an impact on performance. Outcomes provide further support for the validity of the model in Peru and globally. Thus, business owner/managers can use the model to help improve their options of success. Other stakeholders, investors and institutions that provide them with investment can also benefit from this model. The information also provides information to ERP implementation agents to support small business development. This is the first study reports the mediating effect of business strategy and organizational capabilities on the relationship between ERP implementation and firm performance. The outcomes of this study can be used to evaluate success of the ERP implementation evaluating preliminary the basic level of technology literacy.

Purpose An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is commonly used for automating operational processes and enhancing their efficiency inside a company. In the recent years, the increasing development of ERP technologies has increased their impacts on decision-making. Such impact can no longer be underestimated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of ERP systems on the improvement of decision-making quality inside large Moroccan companies. Design/methodology/approach Based on the DeLone and McLean information systems success model and by adopting a quantitative approach, survey data were collected through questionnaires. The established questionnaires were distributed to 104 decision-makers who use ERP systems. To test the developed research model, structural equation modeling based on the partial least squares method was used. Findings The findings of the present investigation showed that information and system quality had a positive impact on the overall user’s experience with the ERP system, whereas service quality had a negative impact on it. This influenced the quality of decision-making. The results also showed that the model used has sufficient and adequate convergent and discriminant validities, as well as sufficient reliability. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical study that evaluates the effect of ERP systems on improving the quality of decision-making in Morocco. The results provide interesting theoretical and managerial implications.
