ABSTRACT:
This study examined the impact of organizational structure, organizational climate, technology implementation strategy, and employee perceptions of their psychological contract on employee’s acceptance of a management information system within non-profit organizations. A sample of one hundred employees from three different nonprofit organizations in Southeast Michigan was surveyed; analysis of the data revealed a positive correlation for the relationship between employee technology acceptance and organizational climate. A positive correlation was also found between employee technology acceptance and organizational structure factors (organizational centralization, organizational integration, and organizational formalization). A positive correlation was revealed between employee technology acceptance and implementation strategy, and a positive correlation exists between employee perceptions of their psychological contract and employee technology acceptance.
