Validation of the DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model

Abstract

ObjectivesThis study is an adaptation of the widely used DeLone and McLean information system success model in the context of hospital information systems in a developing country.MethodsA survey research design was adopted in the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 442 health information management personnel in five Nigerian teaching hospitals. A structural equation modeling technique was used to validate the model's constructs.ResultsIt was revealed that system quality significantly influenced use (β = 0.53, p < 0.001) and user satisfaction (β = 0.17, p < 0.001). Information quality significantly influenced use (β = 0.24, p < 0.001) and user satisfaction (β = 0.17, p < 0.001). Also, service quality significantly influenced use (β = 0.22, p < 0.001) and user satisfaction (β = 0.51, p < 0.001). However, use did not significantly influence user satisfaction (β = 0.00, p > 0.05), but it significantly influenced perceived net benefits (β = 0.21, p < 0.001). Furthermore, user satisfaction did not significantly influence perceived net benefits (β = 0.00, p > 0.05).ConclusionsThe study validates the DeLone and McLean information system success model in the context of a hospital information system in a developing country. Importantly, system quality and use were found to be important measures of hospital information system success. It is, therefore, imperative that hospital information systems are designed in such ways that are easy to use, flexible, and functional to serve their purpose.

What Drives Successful Social Media in Education and E-learning? A Comparative Study on Facebook and Moodle

“…The above result supports Ojo's (2017) analysis, which also shows an insignificant association between technology use and user satisfaction. Furthermore, technology use and user satisfaction were postulated to influence technology benefits, confirming the findings of earlier research (Ojo, 2017;Ramirez-Correa et al, 2017) and corresponding to the original assumption of the D&M ISS model (DeLone & McLean, 1992). Table 7 summarizes the similarities and differences between the current study findings and some of the previous literature.…”

The role of information systems usage in enhancing port logistics performance: evidence from the Dar Es Salaam port, Tanzania

“…Rai and others (Rai et al, 2002) tested these models and found that the models are relatively acceptable/valid despite other researchers commenting that the models do not necessarily have an impact (Lee 2012). The model has even been tested recently (Tam and Oliveira 2017, Van Cauter et al 2017, Ojo, 2017.…”

“…The better the system characteristics, the more users utilize it and the more satisfied they will be. (DeLone and McLean, 2003, Ojo, 2017, and Rizal et al, 2018. At the moment, the system website utilizes WEB 2.0 that emphasize user centered design.…”
