摘要
This paper investigates the measurements of user satisfaction in the specific context of small organizations. An analysis of the potential impact of this specificity upon user satisfaction served as a basis for the selection and adaptation of a previously validated instrument. A modified version was developed and pretested; results of previous research were then replicated and extended by administering the instrument to 464 financial managers in small firms. The data obtained was analyzed and discussed in terms of reliability and validity. The validated instrument is applied to demonstrate its potential uses.
