Examining enterprise resource planning post implementation and employees' performance in small and medium enterprises using delone and mclean's information system success model

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) post implementation on employees' performance in Small Medium Enterprises (SME) in Malaysia. Specifically, this study relies on the DeLone and McLean's information system success model that proposes three quality dimensions namely, system quality, information quality and service quality in examining the effect of ERP post implementation on employees' performance in SMEs. Using a questionnaire survey on 117 respondents that have experience in ERP, this study shows that out of the three qualities of ERP, system quality and service quality have a significant positive effect on employees' performance in the SMEs. This study shows that information quality does not have a significant effect on employees' performance in Malaysia. This study contributes to the information system literature and provides information regarding the quality dimensions which could help managers or ERP providers to assess the success of their ERP implementation.
