Development of a Tool for Measuring and Analyzing Computer User Satisfaction

Abstract

This paper reports on a technique for measuring and analyzing computer user satisfaction. Starting with the literature and using the critical incident interview technique, 39 factors affecting satisfaction were identified. Adapting the semantic differential scaling technique, a questionnaire for measuring satisfaction was then created. Finally, the instrument was pilot tested to prove its validity and reliability. The results of this effort and suggested uses of the questionnaire are reported here.computers: systems design/operation, information systems, management, utility/performance, multi-attribute

Knowledge Adoption in Online Communities of Practice

“…Argument Quality (Adapted from Bailey and Pearson 1983): You think the information in the message was: Timely 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Untimely Ambiguous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Definite Uninformative 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Informative Incomplete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Complete Inaccurate 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Accurate…”

ICT Evaluation: Are We Asking the Right Questions?

“…Examples of IT evaluation techniques over the years have included system usage (Srinivasan, 1985;Trice & Treacy, 1986); information value (Gallagher, 1974); user satisfaction (Bailey & Pearson, 1983;Shaw et al, 2002); and service quality (Jiang et al, 2002). Hitt and Brynjolffson (1996) posit that the question of IT value is not a single one, but rather consists of several related but distinct issues such as increased productivity, i.e., is there now more output per given quantity of input?…”

Exploring the factors associated with Web site success in the context of electronic commerce

“…Anderson and Bezuidenhoudt [3] stressed that reliability is also needed, especially in consumer electronic markets. A reliable system should have quick error recovery and ensure correct operation [10]. Thus, we propose:…”
