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.

Summary
The purpose of this study was to explore factors that constitute an assessment of organizational readiness of nonprofit organizations for implementing management information systems (MIS). Billions of dollars are spent each year on new technology implementation at a variety of different organizations in the United. A study by Munir and Phillip (2002) [1] concluded that many new technology implementations are unsuccessful. More than 70% of standard management information systems (MIS) implementation projects fail [2]. Organizations face numerous problems after introducing a new technology; it is crucial to perform a careful pre-implementation study that examines organizational readiness factors such as organizational climate, structure, employee’s perception of their psychological contract and technology implementation strategy [4]
