A Longitudinal Study of the Relationship between User Attitudes and the Success of the MAJCOM and AFRCE Work Information Management System.

Abstract

This thesis determines whether or not the relationship between Work Information Management System (WIMS) user attitudes and success found in previous military research has changed over time, and determines if WIMS is perceived to be more successful in 1985 than it was in 1984. Finally, this research evaluates how WIMS has impacted Major Command and Air Force Regional Civil Engineer organizations based on the responses of the users. 400 surveys were distributed to 19 MAJCOM and AFRCEs. Statistical techniques were used to answer the five research questions. A response rate of 55.5 percent was achieved. Results indicate that the relationship between user attitudes and the perceived success of WIMS has not changed significantly, and that WIMS is perceived to be more successful in 1985 than it was in 1984. Statistical Analysis techniques used included factor analysis, multiple regression, and a two-sample T test.
