<![CDATA[A key concern in Information System (IS) research has been to betterunderstand the linkage between information systems and individuals’ performance.The presence of technology in an organization will help the organization provideaccurate and relevant information to support individuals in making decisions.The level of technology utilization and task-technology compatibility determinethe effective impact of the technology on individuals’ performances. This study reexaminesa part of the Technology-to-Performance Chain (TPC) model by incorporatingindividual characteristics but it does not include the construct of utilization.When utilization is mandatory, it does not need to be considered. Unlikeprevious studies, the model is tested using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) toprovide evidence on the effectiveness of the TPC model. Data used in this studywere collected from individual information technology usersof the Sistem InformasiDirektorat Jenderal Pajak (SIDJP) in theregional office Daerah IstimewaYogyakarta, Directorate General of Taxes. Data were collected using 322 questionnairesthrough a contact person. Of those, 252 questionnaires were fit to beused (response rate 78.26%). Data analysis was conducted using multivariatestructural equation modeling by AMOS 7. The result shows that the individualcharacteristics of the users are associated with the task-technology fit. The TPCmodel test indicates that the model is robust with a goodness-of-fit index over 0.90.This research highlights the importance of the fit between technologies, users’tasks and users’ characteristics in achieving individual performance impacts frominformation technologies. The conclusion suggests that the needs and abilities ofindividual users be taken into consideration whenever an information system isimplemented. Another conclusion is to take the managerial level (echelon IV andabove) as a respondent to better measure the task characteristics which are definedby non-routine tasks and interdependence tasks.]]>
