Validation of Information System Project Success Model

This article illustrates how influential arguments were used tovalidate an information system (IS) project success model using theinductive-qualitative method rather than continual hypothesis testing. The purpose ofthe study was to explore the validity and feasibility of the model using a focus groupstudy (FGS) to respond that many IS scholars were under more and more pressure in theirresearch model validations. Most of them claimed that the quantitative validation wasonly the method to validate their models. Although they may have performed thequalitative validation, only a few of them realized that they have applied this method.This article will be valuable, especially to prove, describe, and illuminate the contextand condition where the model validation had been performed qualitatively before thescholar carried out quantitatively the validation. The results represent the four modelvalidation points regarding the modeling process, methodological aspect, and resourceavailability of the research and its implementation recommendations. A good referencepoint for IS scholars whose goal to validate their model feasibilities, especially usingthe qualitative validation method
