Abstract
ر
The concept of organizational culture is one of the most important organizational
behavior theories which is also being considered as one of the key critical success
factors of ERP implementation projects. However, this concept is somehow
overlooked in academic research. Hence, the paper tries to articulate the
relationship between the two concepts. The study has been implemented in a field
study manner within Iranian companies which have implemented a reputable
international ERP and had at least nine months of system life. The questionnaire
tool has also been applied for data gathering in eight real cases. Confirmatory
Factor Analysis (CFA) using Lisrel and multiple regression method using SPSS
have been exploited for data analysis which as a result, all of the five research
hypotheses are statistically supported. In addition, it is implied that the
cooperation culture in organizations has the most significant relationship with
ERP implementation success followed by risk tolerance culture in the second rank.
Regarding research results, it seems necessary that it is crucial for managers to
improve their ERP system success level through improving their organizational
culture and plan some actins for this done.
