While the development of information systems in workplaces with the aim of achieving cost-effectiveness, efficiency and quality of service delivery remain sacrosanct, issues of effective utilization and its resultant implications on organizational performance remain critical from one context to another. Unfortunately, few studies had considered focusing on these causal relationships among information system deployments in the construction industry especially in developing countries like Nigeria. This work modelled the interactions causal relationships associated with task technology fit, system usage and performance variables using the TUSPEM model. Through convenience and stratified sampling techniques, the views of 136 senior staff including top level management staff, sectional heads and other senior staff of a construction firm in Nigeria were sought. Smart PLS structural equation modeling software was used for the analysis of the dataset. The result showed significant relationships between causal variables in the TUSPEM model such as Application utilization to performance (t-value 2.44, P< 0.02), utilization to user satisfaction (t-value 2.87, P< 0.01). TTF to performance (t-value 2.86, P< 0.06), satisfaction (t-value 4.40, P< 0.00), User attitude to utilization (t-value 5.40, P< 0.00). Computer 2self-efficacy to utilization (t-value 4.47, P< 0.00). User satisfaction to performance (t-value 2.47, P< 0.01). Critical appraisal and integration of quality feedback on information system usage and its resultant effects on the numerous information systems being deployed must not be sideline if the sustainability of information system is anything to go by. Other implications are discussed.

<span>The purpose of this empirical study was to examine e-health readiness, acceptance and use in hospitals and health centers in Ethiopia. In this study, 900 samples were taken using a simple random sampling method from 10 Hospitals and 20 health centers in northwestern Ethiopia. SmartPls software was used for the structural equation modeling and path analysis techniques. All of the e-health readiness indicators, except employees’ attitudes showed that hospitals and health centers were not ready to implement and use e-health systems. The intentions of users to accept and use e-health systems were evaluated and determinants were identified. Service quality from the technological factors, self-efficacy from the human factors and user training from the organizational factors were found to be significant determinants of user satisfaction, individual performance, and organizational performance respectively. Major determinants were an organizational performance with a contribution of 37.6% influence followed by an individual performance with 28.2% contribution (together accounted for about 65.8% influence) of the users’ behavioral intentions to use e-health systems. The model, which explained 47.6 % of the variances in the data, was found to be significant.</span>

Process approach or Business Process Management (BPM) allows organizing and framing a company by focusing in the improvement of performance in order to gain competitive advantage. Although it is believed that BPM improves various aspects of organizational performance, there has been a lack of empirical studies about this. The present paper has the purpose to study the impact of business process management in companies performance in Moroccan context. To accomplish that, the theoretical basis required to know the elements that configurate BPM and the measures that can evaluate the BPM success on performance is built through a literature review. Then, a research model is proposed. Empirical data has been collected from a survey of Moroccan companies from different sectors. A quantitative analysis has been performed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to show if the direct and indirect effects between BPM and performance can be considered statistically significant. At the end, we have discussed results, their managerial and scientific implications.

PurposeThe objective of this study is to analyze the influence of the structural capital of SMEs in the capacity of innovation and organizational performance, in the context of an emerging country.Design/methodology/approachThe sample consisted of 259 industrial SMEs from the province of Córdoba Argentina. The data was analyzed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS–SEM).FindingsThe study provided evidence that acquisition of information and knowledge management, organizational culture and structure, systems and processes have positive and significant effects on the innovation capacity of SMEs. Only the communication and cohesion component did not show positive and significant results on it. It also showed a positive and significant relationship between the capacity for innovation in processes and performance, contributing to the scarce empirical literature in the context of SMEs.Research limitations/implicationsThe research exposes some limitations that uncover a path for the development of future lines of research. In the first place, the work focuses on the use of a single source of information, the consultation at the managerial level of the company, without considering other representative variables to measure the capacity for innovation. Second, the study covered only companies in the industrial sector and country. Future studies should focus on other sectors and countries.Practical implicationsThe results of the study can have important practical implications for the owners and managers of SMEs. The results offer a vision of the dimensions of structural capital that most influence the innovative capacity of the organization. This is especially useful given that in the context of Argentina there is a low level of knowledge and structural capital is key to being more competitive. The managers of SMEs can thus increase the innovative potential of the company and favor the acquisition of information and knowledge and improve its processes and systems to contribute to the development of innovation capabilities to make SMEs more competitive.Social implicationsThe results obtained can be useful for those responsible for making public policy decisions, since in the knowledge of the economy to maintain a developed state and nation, it is necessary to include as one of the main issues on the national agenda the improvement of intellectual capital of its people to promote the competitiveness of companies.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the development of intellectual capital literature focused on the generation of innovation and performance in the perspective of SMEs in emerging countries.

<p>In this research, adoption of the DeLone and McLean (D&amp;M) information system (IS) success model and its adaptation with the project success theories were used to explore state of IS project success and to examine factors which affect its success. A survey towards the internal project stakeholder in an univerity with response rate 48% was carried out to collect the raw data for Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. Majority of the participants (80.7%) stated that level of the project success is more than 50% where information quality, system quality, service quality, system use, and user satisfaction substantially explain 64.5% of variance in the success variable. The three quality factors together explain 43.2% of the variance of system use and 70.4% of the variance of user satisfaction. Although, a number of the findings were consistent with the prior studies, these findings also presented inconsistencies especially related to aspects of information quality and system use. Accordingly, researchers and practitioners will be stand to benefit from the information provided in this study and it is hoped that future research will build upon the findings reported herein as efforts are made to attain the IS project success especially in the sampled institution.</p>

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the distribution of government assistance to dropout communities based on the e-proposal management information system, organizational transformation, and human resource capabilities of course institutions. The sampling technique was purposive sampling—data collection using questionnaires and FGD. The data analysis technique used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis processed with Smart PLS software. The research results prove that organizational transformation does not directly affect organizational performance in the distribution of government assistance. Meanwhile, HR capabilities and management information systems of e-proposal Banper directly affect organizational performance in the distribution of government assistance. Then organizational transformation indirectly has a significant effect on organizational performance in distributing government assistance by mediating the management information system e-proposal Banper. Likewise, human resource capability indirectly has a significant effect on organizational performance in distributing government assistance by mediating the management information system e-proposal Banper. The results of the strategy analysis through the input strategy stage with CPM, matching stage with TOWS, and decision stage with QSPM, concluded that the strategy used from the QSPM results is a strategy for developing SIM e-proposal assistance.
