“…Among users in three different Asian firms, there was no significant relationship between frequency of use and job satisfaction (Ang & Soh, 1997). In another series of studies, the self-reported hours of use of IS among managers was positively correlated with decision making in a sample of German firms (Vlahos et al, 2004), but not in Greek firms (Vlahos & Ferratt, 1995).…”

“…Other studies, however, have found conflicting results. For example, the self-reported hours of use of IS was not significantly correlated to user satisfaction in either German firms (Vlahos et al, 2004) or Greek firms (Vlahos & Ferratt, 1995). Frequency of use was not significantly correlated with user satisfaction in Asian firms (Ang & Soh, 1997).…”

Since DeLone and McLean (D&M) developed their model of IS success, there has been much research on the topic of success as well as extensions and tests of their model. Using the technique of a qualitative literature review, this research reviews 180 papers found in the academic literature for the period 1992-2007 dealing with some aspect of IS success. Using the six dimensions of the D&M model -system quality, information quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction, and net benefits -90 empirical studies were examined and the results summarized. Measures for the six success constructs are described and 15 pairwise associations between the success constructs are analyzed. This work builds on the prior research related to IS success by summarizing the measures applied to the evaluation of IS success and by examining the relationships that comprise the D&M IS success model in both individual and organizational contexts.

“…In a comprehensive literature review of the DeLone and McLean construct for IS success, Petter et al (2008) stated that the empirical results indicated a strong association between user satisfaction and net benefits (perceived impacts). User satisfaction has been found to have a positive influence on the net benefits (perceived impacts) expressed such as performance effectiveness (Rai et al 2002); decision-making (Vlahos and Ferratt 1995;Vlahos et al 2004); and job satisfaction (Ang and Soh 1997;Morris et al 2002). In the user satisfaction literature, information-and system quality are major antecedents to user satisfaction and exhibit a strong relation with user satisfaction (see Iivari 2005).…”

Barriers and facilitators for BIM use among Swedish medium-sized contractors - “We wait until someone tells us to use it”

Background: The pace of diffusion of BIM (Building Information Modelling) use is considered to increase with governmental initiatives in which public clients in countries like Finland, Singapore, United Kingdom, and Sweden begin requiring BIM as a part of the project delivery. Currently, larger contractor firms use BIM to a certain extent. However, BIM use by mid-sized contractor firms (that is, firms with 50-500 employees that can successfully compete with larger contractors on projects costing a maximum of 50 million Euros) is relatively unknown. Hence, the aim of the paper is to explore current use and perceived constraints and driving forces of BIM-implementation with respect to mid-sized contractors. Methods: A mixed method approach was applied, and data was collected through an interview study and a survey involving chief executive officers or their closest sub-ordinates in mid-sized contractor firms in Sweden. The survey was based on a technology-, organization-, and environment framework that is used in information systems research to study the use of interorganizational information systems. The total population of firms in the survey corresponded to 104. The study presented the preliminary results based on 32 answers (with a 31% response rate). Results: Fifty-eight percent of the surveyed respondents stated that they had been involved in a project in which BIM was used in some manner. The most commonly used application included visualization, which also facilitates coordination and communication. The biggest perceived constraints involved partners that did not use BIM, lack of demand from clients, and the absence of internal demand in the company. With respect to the two last obstacles, significant differences existed between users and non-users. The most common perceived driving forces included the fact that BIM is perceived as a means to follow technical development and that BIM provides competitive advantages to the company. Conclusions: It is concluded that the main driver responsible for BIM-implementation is mainly determined by an individual's subjective positive or negative evaluation of BIM, instead of external pressure from clients and partners or by the internal capacity and knowledge to use BIM.

“…Vlahos et al (2004) considered that data mining is a computer-based information system (CBIS) to scan a huge database and discover knowledge. Han et al (2011) noted that data mining is the process of dig out potentially useful and interesting feature from the database, data warehouse or other data storage devices.…”

The phenomenon of low fertility has been negative impacted on the social structure of the educational environment in Taiwan. To increase the learning effectiveness of students became the most important issue for the Universities in Taiwan. Due to the subjective judgment of evaluators and the attributes of influenced factors are always fuzzy, it is not easy to measure the learning effectiveness by using the crisp values for the qualitative factors. In additional, the negative behaviors or the infrequent learning data (rare item sets) cannot easily excavate from educational database. Therefore, a systematic mining method is proposed here by combining fuzzy set theory with data mining technology to explore the key factors of learning effectiveness from the infrequent data. A case study implemented in this paper and showed that the proposed method can effectively find the important factors and valuable patterns from the survey data. The results of this paper can provide the important information for teachers to help students increase the learning effectiveness. Finally, the conclusions are addressed at the end of this paper.
