A Coherent Framework for Understanding the Success of an Information System Project

Abstract

This paper elucidates the sequential revisions of an information system (IS) project framework across the research model development and its examinations. The authors adopted, adapted, and combined five concepts of the project management discipline and the information processing theory Keywords: ICT project framework, multi-dimensional perspectives, interrelation concept, model validationCopyright © 2016 Universitas Ahmad Dahlan.

IntroductionOne of reasons why numerous studies [1][2][3] indicated that the IS project management is the immature discipline; it may because the performance of the projects still show its high failure rate [4]. As it was initiated by the Standish Group's report in the mid of 1990s, and the similar announcements were presented by numerous survey studies [5][6][7]. In respect of this issue, Subiyakto and Ahlan [8][9] identified several gaps of this field, among others, there are the ambiguity of the project success definition [10][11][12], the use of the partial perspective in its success measurement [12][13][14][15], and the tendency of the critical success factor (CSF) determination methods [7,9]. Accordingly, they proposed a coherent-conceptual framework based on their scanning the depth and breadth of the body of knowledge in the research field [8]. They hoped that the framework will be one of references for researchers and practitioners to understand the success of an IS project in term of its multi-dimensions. Sequentially, these scholars developed their IS project success model [16] and then, examined the model qualitatively [17] and quantitatively [18].The next questions are how to explore the framework following its development and the examinations of the research model and how to understand the interrelationship between this framework and the model. These issues may be a triviality for many scholars who had experiences and expertise in the research works, but these are not for the beginners or inexpert ones in the works. Besides the clarity of the interrelationship is one of the significant points of a research model assessment, it is also rare to be presented in many literatures. This paper demonstrates the development and its revisions of an IS project framework and its interrelationship with the research model. The objectives are to explore theoretically the revised framework and to understand its interrelationship with the examined model. This framework and its model mapping, which were represented here, they may be a learning point for scholars, particularly in their model validity developments. There are the four main sections of the paper. First, the literature review section elucidates the basis theories and concepts of the

User Acceptance Model for Assessing Trust on Electronic Transaction Succession

“…Referring to the several study [10][11][12] which this paper use the input-process-output (IPO) logic [33,34] in the research model development, and researcher assumed that the IS model can also be assumed within the above mentioned logic. According the DeLone and McLean's [16] that IS success model also use the process and output dimensions of the IPO logic.…”

“…Research in the field of IS [9][10][11][12] has explained that SI performance studies are very necessary to improve performance levels, this is closely related to technology risk management [13,14] and is useful for IS implementation [15]. Therefore, this phenomenon is very interesting that SI performance studies by developing new things are related to IS models for success in adopting, combination or adaptation of previous IS models.…”

Managers Perceptions towards the Success of E-performance Reporting System

“…Figure 2 presents the sequential implementation of the procedure, including the output of each one. Referring to Eddy, Hollingworth [31] and Putra, Subiyakto [10] around the clarity process of the research method; besides the result validity, the transparency of the implementation can be used to justify the research quality. The data of the managerial positions (N= ± 130) were identified based on the human resource department database of the year 2016 in the sampled institution.…”

“…In short, besides the adoption of the comprehensive and valid model following to the recommendations of above mentioned studies [12][13][14], the involvements of the key users as the research respondents are hoped for reaching the quality of the research findings. As it is indicated by Eddy et al [31] and Putra et al [10], besides the findings themselves, the research process points are also essential consideration for ensuring the quality of a research.…”

Converting UML Class Diagrams into Temporal Object Relational DataBase

“…This model is developed to answer the limitation of object relation model. Temporal data means that the data are defined to have some time-related information associated with them [15].…”
