Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of IT application on project performance focusing on mediating role of organizational innovation, knowledge management and organizational capabilities using SEM. For this purpose, 194 managers, supervisors and experts of software developer companies participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire on each subject. SEM was used to analyze data using the LISREL software. Results are thoroughly discussed in this paper and the findings support the role of IT application, organizational innovation, knowledge management and organizational capabilities on project performance and project benefits.

Highlights

  • In the past two decades, performance has been the subject of many interesting discussions and has led to theoretical and practical innovations [1]

  • Knowledge management has a direct effect on strategic orientation; there are no significant relationships between other variables

  • Since this study evaluates the mediating role of knowledge management, organizational innovation and organizational capability in the relationship between Information technology (IT) application and project performance and project benefits, Table III lists the coefficients of direct effect, indirect effect, total effect, variance explained and significance level of the variables

Summary

Introduction

In the past two decades, performance has been the subject of many interesting discussions and has led to theoretical and practical innovations [1]. Project managers need to identify the factors that affect project performance. The term IT is used to describe technologies used in capture, storage, processing, retrieval, transmission and reception of information. This term involves recent technologies such as computers, fax transmission, remote communications, and microelectronics as well as older technologies such as document filing systems, mechanical computing machines, printing and engraving. IT refers to production of services, issues and factors related to receiving, collecting, storing, processing, retrieving, and managing data and information in computer systems. Adoption of IT and its efficient implementation can improve the cooperation between supply chain members through fast, accurate information transfer and distribution and application of information systems and improve the supply chain efficiency [4]
