摘要:An information system can be viewed as a symbiotic relationship between the users of the system and the system itself. Ideally, an information system should be evaluated with equal consideration given to both user constrains and to system constraints. The approach described in this article provides the analyst with a framework for gaining insight into information system performance from both user and system viewpoints by establishing a causal relationship between user goal attainment and syste...

摘要:Computer chargeback systems are installed to meet various data processing objectives. One objective is to increase user involvement in decisions regarding information systems development and use. Presumably, increasing user involvement will result in more effective information systems. In a field study the authors examine the relationship between various characteristics of a computer chargeback system, the quality of the chargeback system's user interface, user involvement, and user attitudes ...

摘要:The concept of creating and considering alternative designs in the system development process is integral to design methodology in many fields. In MIS the idea is little implemented despite the existence of some techniques that facilitate the consideration of alternative designs. Some of these techniques are reviewed and evaluated in terms of their utility in MIS.

摘要:Knowledge utilization among MIS researchers is examined via an analysis of 9,911 references appearing in 532 MIS journal articles published in fifteen journals during the 1970-1979 period. Quantitative indicators of references per article, type of publication referenced, elapsed time between citing and cited publications, and cross disciplinary references are used to categorize knowledge utilization by researchers in the MIS discipline and to analyze changes in reference patterns over the ten ...

摘要:The user-analyst liaison function in system development was studied in thirty-eight large firms using a structured interviewing process. The study revealed that the most prevalent form of liaison is still the traditional systems representative and that the liaison function is generally performed much less formally than the IS literature would suggest. However, a trend toward greater formalism was detected. Other aspects of the liaison function, such as perceptions of the role, relevant career ...

摘要:An empirical investigation of some relationships between organizational context and MIS structure is reported. The major findings are that MIS structure is significantly correlated with organizational structure which, in turn, is closely associated with organizational size. Additional relationships were found between organizational size and the rank of the MIS director, between implementor/user relationships and psychological climate toward MIS, and between the last two variables and degree of...
