Abstract

Abstract Open Source Software (OSS) is a new paradigm for software development. The system is based on thenotion of giving software (including sources) away for free, and making money on services, customizing and maintenance. For these reasons, many software companies have considered adopting and using OSS in Software R&D.A variety of factors may influence the use of decision making of OSS. The objective of this study was to explorethe significant factors affecting the use decision of OSS and the job performance of OSS usage in software R&D.A research model was suggested based on the TOE Framework and Information Systems Success Model. These findings show that technical benefits of OSS have significant effects on OSS use. The technical benefits of OSS, andorganization context, in turn, have significant effects on the use of OSS. On the other hand, the technical risks of OSS and the environment context have no effects on OSS use. In addition, OSS use and user satisfaction have significant effects on the individual job performance. This research contributes towards advancing the theoretical understanding of the OSS Benefits and Performance in Software Development.
