Abstract

Despite the large-scale adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP), attaining the expected benefits is still a challenging task. Organizational culture,a representative of holistic organizational context, is always neglected by prior studies when focusing on ERP assimilation. Through analyzing relative literatures, this paper drew upon five dimensions (interpersonal harmony, outcome orientation, innovation, control, and efficiency) of organizational culture in Chinese context, to explore its impact on ERP effective assimilation through the mediating roles of user participation. And then, a comprehensive research model was built, and then was tested.
