Abstract

This study aims to develop a research model that analyzes the effects of the innovation and organizational characteristics in literature on ERP application users' rates of adoption. Innovation characteristics model in literature is extended and new research model, which includes both innovation and organizational characteristics, is developed and both models are tested on 403 users with factor analysis. Moreover, the sample is divided into 10 categories to observe how characteristics differentiate in both models in each category. Results indicate that categorizations of the sample have distinctive impacts for both models and create dynamic structure which flexes the rigidity in literature.
