User participation is considered an effective way to conduct requirementsengineering, but user-developer perception gaps in requirements understandingoccur frequently. Since user participation in practice is not as active as weexpect and the requirements perception gap has been recognized as a risk thatnegatively affects projects, exploring whether user-developer perception gapsin requirements understanding will hinder user participation is worthwhile.This will help develop a greater comprehension of the intertwined relationshipbetween user participation and perception gap, a topic that has not yet beenextensively examined. This study investigates the direct and mediatinginfluences of user-developer requirements perception gaps on user participationby integrating requirements uncertainty and top management support. Survey datacollected from 140 subjects were examined and analyzed using structuralequation modeling. The results indicate that perception gaps have a directnegative effect on user participation and negate completely the positive effectof top management support on user participation. Additionally, perception gapsdo not have a mediating effect between requirements uncertainty and userparticipation because requirements uncertainty does not significantly anddirectly affect user participation, but requirements uncertainty indirectlyinfluences user participation due to its significant direct effect onperception gaps. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed, andlimitations and possible future research areas are identified.
