Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the acceptance factors of information technology in organizational development at Ilam University.
Methodology: In this study, the research model of Davis et al. (1989) was selected as the basic model of research. The statistical population was 440 employees of Ilam University, of which 205 were examined as statistical samples. The data collection tool includes two questionnaires for information technology acceptance and organizational development. Content validity was used to determine the validity of the mentioned questionnaires and to confirm the reliability, they were confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method. Data analysis was also performed using SPSS statistical software.
Findings: The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the acceptance factors of information technology and organizational development. Also, the perceived ease with a correlation coefficient of 0.797 and the perceived usefulness with a correlation coefficient of 0.405 have a significant effect on organizational development.
Conclusion: Information technology is an important strategic asset for organizations that can be used to improve organizational performance and strategic competition. It also provides the ground for better implementation of the organization's strategies and helps staff to achieve the organization's goals, which ultimately leads to organizational development. Therefore, managers should take steps to implement information technology in organizations.
