Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to establish the external validity of two general information system instruments. This research seeks to determine if the Davis (1989) measure of User Acceptance of Information Technology and the Doll and Torkzadeh (1988) measure of End-User Computing Satisfaction maintain psychometric stability when used to measure discrete event computer simulation success. The investigation focuses on establishing construct validity, internal validity and reliability. If the hypothesized psychometric properties of these instruments are consistent with prior studies, the use of these instruments can be extended to the measurement of success in discrete event computer simulation.
