TLDR
A field-verified model of the factors of success of UDA is presented that provides a basis for implementation of Uda practices and policies in organizations, as well as for further research in end-user computing.Abstract:
A two-phase study concerned with the factors of success associated with the development of computer applications by end users was conducted in 10 large organizations. During the first phase, in-depth interviews were used to refine a preliminary model of the factors of success for user development of computer applications (UDA). In the second phase, a questionnaire was administered to 272 end users experienced in developing applications. Statistical tests of the relationships in the model indicated that all but one of the derived hypotheses were substantiated. The result of this study is a field-verified model of the factors of success of UDA that provides a basis for implementation of UDA practices and policies in organizations, as well as for further research in end-user computing.read more

Computer self-efficacy: development of a measure and initial test
TL;DR: Self-efficacy represents an important individual trait, which moderates organizational influences on an individual's decision to use computers, and is important to the successful implementation of systems in organizations.

Personal computing: toward a conceptual model of utilization
TL;DR: The results show that social norms and three components of expected consequences have a strong influence on utilization, confirming the importance of the expected consequences of using PC technology and suggesting that training programs and organizational policies could be instituted to enhance or modify these expectations.

Validating instruments in MIS research
TL;DR: An operating paradigm for renewal along dimensions previously unstressed is offered and it is argued that confirmatory empirical findings will be strengthened when instrument validation precedes both internal and statistical conclusion validity and that, in many situations, MIS researchers need to validate their research instruments.
