A path analysis model for web application success

This research study investigates the concept of web application success using multiple regression analysis and path analysis based on a survey data set in US industries. The results partially confirm the hypothesized path analysis model with both exogenous and endogenous variables affecting web application success. The main findings suggest that factors affecting web application success have to be understood in an integrative manner; management and human resource are more important than development methodologies, tools, and techniques; different development supports are required for different stakeholders even for the same purpose; and ambiguous end user requirements have to be addressed in conceptual, logical, and physical design.
