universities in India,especially among the universities located in the eastern region, has started developing strategic planning and control systems for continuous Application of improvement with the increasing support of modern Management ICTs in the recent years. However, in spite of 1 Arindam Banik Information System — n.d. increasing improvement in the form of equipment A Case Study on the support, mainly computers, and local area networking, University of Calcutta there are a large number of existing and emerging problems and obstacles, basically organizational and methodological in character, requiring immediate attention and in that process effective implementation of MIS can definitely play a significant role. Computer systems have changed significantly in the past decades and this means that MIS research instruments developed when surveying users of legacy systems could be out-of-date. However, these Received 18 instruments are often considered stable. We November undertook an empirical exploratory investigation of the Are MIS research 2005; unidimensionality of the computer playfulness scale instruments stable? An received in because several academics had reported inconsistent Alexander Serenko, Ofir exploratory 2 revised form item loadings that they could not explain. As a result Turel reconsideration of the 28 February of our investigation, we concluded that the original computer playfulness 2007; computer playfulness construct consists of two scale accepted 17 correlated but distinct factors when administered to August 2007 today’s IS users. Negatively worded items had no impact on the properties of the scale. Temporal structural stability was hypothesized as an explanation of the observed shift in this construct’s psychometric properties.
