The effects of organizational citizenship behaviors on ERP system success

摘要

Although the research on organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) has increased dramatically in diverse fields during the past decade, little is known about the OCBs in the information systems area. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of OCBs on enterprise resource planning (ERP) system success. In order to perform empirical analyses, measurements on the OCBs constructs based on the five dimensions of [Organ, D.W. (1988). Organizational citizenship behavior: The “Good Soldier” syndrome. MA: Lexington Books]: altruism, conscientiousness, courtesy, civic virtue, and sportsmanship were developed, and the research model including the relationships between the OCBs constructs and ERP system success variables of information quality, work efficiency, and intention of IT innovation was proposed and empirically analyzed using structural equation modeling.The contribution of this study is to provide strategic insights for successfully managing ERP systems by identifying the effects of organizational citizenship behaviors in ERP context.
