A Contingency Model for User Involvement in DSS Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many authors have stressed that DSS development requires a high level of user involvement. Three DSS case studies are presented which illustrate that the level of user involvement can vary considerably. Based upon the existing literature, a tentative model of the dimensions affecting user involvement in the creation of a DSS is hypothesized. This model is then refined in light of the three case studies presented.

متن کاملThe relationship between user participation and system success: a simultaneous contingency approach
The relationship between user participation and information system (IS) success has drawn attention from researchers for some time. It is assumed that strong participation of future users in the design of IS would lead to successful outcomes in terms of more IS usage, greater user acceptance, and increased user satisfaction. However, in spite of this, much of the empirical research so far has b...
