ABSTRACT
In this context, the aim of the study was to examine the role of perceived usefulness in the relation-
ship between individual job performance and task – technology fit in ERP environment. The study
was done by 225 individuals. The results of the PLS_SEM analysis reveal ed that task— technology
fit was significantly and positively related to perceived usefulness and individual job performance
in ERP environment. Furthermore, perceived usefulness was significantly to individual job perfor-
mance in ERP context. The results of this study added to the empirical evidence in the application
of background theories including TTF, TAM and TTF models combined, DeLone and McLean IS
Success Model, and ECM. Besides, they also added to the theoretical background of ERP's success.
Furthermore, they support for companies who are planning to use ERP systems and the ERP ven-
dors and implementers become more knowledgeable about ERP's success and forecast success
when using ERP systems. Based on these results, the enterprise can plan the application to im-
prove the efficiency of ERP systems. At the same time, the ERP vendors and developers can better
advise and support their customers when delivering and deploying ERP systems.
Key words: Enterprise resource planning (ERP), job performance, perceived usefulness, task -
technology fit, Vietnam
INTRODUCTION
Companies all over the world have adopted enter-
prise resource planning (ERP) systems to integrate
their business processes and stay competitive 1. Be-
cause ERP is information system (IS), user percep-
tions about an ERP system play an important role
in both usage and success of ERP2. Some organiza-
tions have applied the ERP system but users are non-
adoption of the system3. In this case, job performance
and job satisfaction are lower and turnover rates are
higher4. In addition, if the job performance of indi-
vidual is low, it will adversely affect the performance
of organization5. As a critical indicator of ERP imple-
mentation success, it is important to examine possible
factors that affect employee job performance 4.
Bradford and Florin 6 developed and tested a model
of ERP implementation success which is measured by
perceived organizational performance and user sat-
isfaction. While the study of Bradford and Florin 6
examined perceived organizational performance, the
others explored the factors that can impact individual
performance when using ERP systems such as Kosi-
tanurit et al. (2006), Park et al. (2007), Sykes et al.
(2014), Sykes (2015) 4,5,7,8. Kositanurit et al. provides
evidence that system quality, utilization, and ease of
use are the three important factors bearing on individ-
ual performance in ERP environment5. The study of
Park et al. found that the users’ ability to understand
ERP knowledge influenced its performance and or-
ganizational support moderated the relationship be-
tween their absorptive capacity and performance7.
Sykes et al. show workflow advice and software ad-
vice are associated with job performance4. Besides,
that study found that the interactions of workflow
and software get-advice, workflow and software give-
advice, and software get- and give-advice impacted
job performance. Similarly, Sykes disclosures both
traditional support structures and peer advice ties
were found to influence the various outcomes in-
cluding system satisfaction, job stress, job satisfac-
tion and job performance8. On the individual level,
the factors that are proven to have an impact on the
job performance in ERP environment include sys-
tem quality, utilization, ease of use, users’ ability to
understand ERP knowledge, workflow advice, soft-
ware advice, traditional support structures and peer
advice ties. Similar to the above studies, this work
seeks to examine post — implementation employee
job performance. However, we look for the impact
of other factors including perceived usefulness and

task — technology fit on job performance of users
in ERP context. Based on Task- Technology Fit the-
ory (TTF)9–11, TAM and TTF models combined 12,
DeLone and McLean IS Success Model2,13and ECM
(Expectation–Confirmation Model)14, this study ex-
amined the role of perceived usefulness in the rela-
tionship between individual job performance and task
— technology fit in ERP environment.
This article is structured as follows. First, we describe
the theoretical background on individual job perfor-
mance, perceived usefulness and task — technology
fit. Next, we present the research methodology used.
Then, we present the findings. Finally, we present
some conclusions and further work.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Individual Job Performance
According to TTF theory, performance benefits im-
prove a range of performance outcomes15. The spe-
cific outcomes that have been examined in prior TTF
research include system use/intention to use, job per-
formance, satisfaction with technology, opinions re-
garding a technology, appropriation changes made,
decision efficiency, decision quality, decision strategy
employed, joint profit attained, number of ideas gen-
erated, quality of solution, task completion time, task
accuracy, ability to perform tasks, perceived ease of
use, perceived usefulness, perceived playfulness, per-
ceived risk15.
High performance implies that there is a mix between
improved efficiency, improved effective and/ or im-
proved quality 10. It was often confused with produc-
tivity 16. However, it is actually measured by more
global variables such as the quality of outputs, job
knowledge, leadership, or judgment16. In the tradi-
tional office, job performance is largely established by
scanning for employees’ presence and through direct
and indirect observations16.
There exists a wide range of employee outcomes in
ERP implementation, such as systems satisfaction,
job stress, job satisfaction, and individual job perfor-
mance8. Job performance is a way to measure em-
ployee outcomes. Job performance is a good way of
performing an employee’s work 8.
This study defined individual job performance in ERP
environment was that the employee feels that with the
help of ERP systems he/she can improve a range of
performance outcomes.
Task— Technology Fit
Task — technology fit concept derives from the Task-
Technology Fit theory (TTF) 9–11. According to TTF,
the task — technology fit represents the degree of
matching or alignment between the capabilities of an
information system and the demands of the tasks that
must be performed 15. Base on TTF, this study de-
fined t ask — technology fit is the degree of relevance
between the ability of ERP system and the tasks which
an employee must perform.
Based on three theories including TTF, TAMandTTF
models combined, and the DeLone and McLean IS
Success Model (2013) 13, this study develops the hy-
pothesis H1. Firstly, according TTF, task — technol-
ogy fit impact on performance benefit10 while indi-
vidual job performance is used as an indicator of per-
formance benefit15. Secondly, TAM and TTF models
combined show that task — technology fit have sig-
nificant effect on actual tool use 12. At the same time,
the user behavior has an impact on the job perfor-
mance17. Finally, Peter et al.18 suggested that task
compatibility impact on the IS success. Task compat-
ibility is the fit or consistency between the task and
the IS that supports that task13. In this study, task —
technology fit was defined similarly to task compati-
bility. Petter et al.18 measured the IS success based on
the update DeLone and McLean2 IS success model,
including information quality, system quality, service
quality, intention to use/ use, user satisfaction, and
net benefits. In this study, individual job performance
was considered an indicator of net benefits. Based on
the above arguments, this study developed hypothesis
H1.
This hypothesis is also supported by several stud-
ies, such as Norzaidi et al. (2009), Bhattacherjee
(2001), Teo and Bing (2008), Kositanurit et al. (2006),
D’Ambra and Wilson (2004a), D’Ambra and Wilson
(2004b), Wongpinunwatana et al. (2000), Goodhue
et al. (1997), Goodhue andThompson (1995), Good-
hue (1995), Henseler (2015) 5,9,10,14,19–25. In particu-
lar, Staples and Seddon18 show that task — technol-
ogy fit had an impact on individual job performance
in both kinds of IT use, voluntary and mandatory. In
this study, if an enterprise is using an ERP system,
employees are required to use it. So Staples and Sed-
don18 strongly support the hypothesis H1.
H1: The task – technology f it has a positive effect
on the job performance of employee in ERP envi-
ronment.
Perceived Usefulness
In TAM, perceived usefulness is “the degree to which
a person believes that using particular system would
enhance his or her job performance”26 (p.320). Per-
ceived usefulness is a dimension of performance ex-
pectancy in UTAUT27. In this study, perceived use-
fulness of ERP systems was understood as the level at
452
Science & Technology Development Journal – Economics - Law and Management, 3(4):451-461
which the user believes ERP systems delivers good re-
sults for their work.
According TTF, task – technology fit impact on per-
formance benefit10 and perceived usefulness can be
used as an indicator of performance benefit15,28. Be-
sides, Dishaw et al.12 suggested TAM and TTF mod-
els combined that demonstrated task— technology fit
to have a significant impact on perceived usefulness.
Based on TTF, TAM and TTF models combined and
some studies such as Norzaidi et al. (2009), Tjahjono
(2009), Chang (2008), Wu et al. (2007), Klopping and
McKinney (2004), Dishaw and S trong (1999), Good-
hue (1995) 9,10,19,29–33 hypothesis H2 is stated as fol-
lows:
H2: The task— technology fit has a positive effect o
n the perceived usefulness in ERP environment.
Based on three theories, namely TAM and TTF
models combined, ECM (Expectation–Confirmation
Model)14 and DeLone and McLean IS Success Model
(2013)2, this study developed the hypothesis H3. The
first, according TAMandTTFmodels combined, per-
ceived usefulness has effect on attitude toward use,
then attitude toward use impact on intention to use,
after that intention to use effect on actual tool use 12.
Next, ECMshows that perceived usefulness impact on
IS continuance intention14. Last, user expectations
was proven to have an impact on the IS success2. User
expectations is the degree to which the user’s percep-
tions about the IS are consistent with the actual IS 10.
In this study, perceived usefulness was close to the
user expectations used in Petter et al. (2013)13. In
general, TAM and TTF models combined, ECM and
DeLone and McLean IS Success Model (2013) 2 have
shown that the perceived usefulness of the informa-
tion system had a positive impact on user behavior.
At the same time, the user behavior had an impact on
the job performance17.
Furthermore, some studies include Rajan and Baral
(2015), Furneaux (2012), Sternad and Bobek (2013),
Soto-Acosta et al. (2013), Elkhani et al. (2014),
Zhang et al. (2013), Keong et al. (2012), Norzaidi
et al. (2009), Youngberg et al. (2009), Calisir et al.
(2009), Lee et al. (2010), Chang (2008), Wu et al.
(2007), Ramayah and May- Chiun Lo (2007), Sey-
mour et al. (2007) andAmoako- Gyampah and Salam
(2004) have also shown that the perceived useful-
ness of IS/ ERP had a positive impact on user behav-
ior15,17,19,30,31,34–44. In addition, Goodhue demon-
strated that the perceived usefulness of IS has a pos-
itive impact on the individual job performance in IT
context9. Based on the above arguments, this study
hypothesized the following:
H3: The perceived usefulness of the ERP has a pos-
itive effect on the job performance of employee in
ERP environment.

was used for this research.

METHODOLOGY
Measures
All research constructs included in this study had
multi-item scales derived from the relevant literature.
Each item in the survey employed a 7-point Likert
scale (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree), and a
not applicable (NA) option was available for the re-
spondents to choose. We now elaborate our mea-
sures for the constructs. This study accepted scale
of the individual job performance in ERP environ-
ment (PER) from Goodhue and Thompson10. PER
is a first – order construct and reflective measures
with 2 items. We measured task – technology fit
(TTF) using a11- item scale adapted fromKositanurit
et al.5 that captures the eight dimensions including
currency (CURR), right data (RDAT), right level of
detail (RDET), meaning (MEAN), ease of use (EOU),
training (TRAI), authorization (AUT) and system re-
liability (REL). TTF is a high – order construct and
reflective – reflective measures. The perceived useful-
ness (PU) was measured with 6 items adapted from
Calisir and Calisir45 (from the TAM model). PU is a
first – order construct and reflective measures.
Data collection
This study was conducted using quantitative means
as it aimed to validate the proposed relationships be-
tween factors affecting individual job performance in
ERP context. The research instrument was used a
questionnaire distributed to the end-users (employ-
ees). The data were collected from June 2017 to Au-
gust 2017. The questionnaires were sent by email or
postal mail to an initial sample of 5 00 employees who
453
Science & Technology Development Journal – Economics - Law and Management, 3(4):451-461
are using ERP system. We collected 265 responses (re-
sponse rate was 53 %). Baruch46 points out that for
surveys addressed to individual, the average response
rate is 52.7%. Thus, the response rate of our study
seems to be above average. Of the 265 employees, 225
employees from 49 companies gave usable responses
at all points of measurement.
Table 1 presents the sample characteristics age, gen-
der, education and average computer experience. The
sample consisted of 161 (71.6 %) female and 64 (28.4
%) male. The Table 1 shows that 75.5% of the sam-
pled individuals were fewer than 35. In addition, 72%
of the sampled individuals had bachelor degree. Av-
erage experience using an ERP system was 2.56 years.
The Issue of CommonMethod Bias
Because there was only one respondent for each indi-
vidual, common method bias (CMB) was a potential
problem. In this study, we took a number of steps sug-
gested by Podsakoff et al.47 to reduce the possibility of
commonmethod bias. Firstly, we used multiple items
for each construct and ensured the neutral wording
of the items. Secondly, we assured respondents of
the anonymity of their responses and emphasized that
there were no right or wrong answers; each of these
actions enabled them to answer questions as honestly
as possible. Thirdly, we separated the measurement
of predictors and criterion variables in the question-
naire to diminish the respondent’s ability andmotiva-
tion to use his/her prior responses to answer subse-
quent questions. Finally, we also used the Harman’s
single-factor test and the marker variable approach to
control for commonmethod variance (CMV). Results
are discussed in data analysis and results section.
DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
Measurementmodel
We estimated the internal consistency reliability, con-
vergent validity, and discriminant validity of each
measurement scale to assess the measurement model.
We used two criterions for internal consistency were
composite reliability (CR) and Cronbach’s alpha. All
the reflective constructs in our model show in Table 2
have a Cronbach’s alpha over the cut off of 0.70, as
suggested by Hair et al.48. Similarly, a composite re-
liability (CR) of all the constructs is also higher than
0.7, as suggested by Fornell and Larcker49, implying
high internal consistency.
Convergent validity is verified through the t-statistic
for each factor loading. In PLS_SEM, we can use an
indicator’s outer loading. An outer loading should
be above 0.7 and the t-statistic for each outer loading
significant48. Results of measurement models show
that the items including AUT1, AUT2, REL1, REL2
and TRAI have outer loading was above 0.7 but the t-
statistic for each outer loading was not significant. As
such, the AUT1, AUT2, REL1, REL2 and TRAI were
excluded from the TTF scales. Table 2 shows that re-
sults of final measurement models. A ll factor load-
ings are greater than the typical cut off value of 0.7 48
and significant at the p <0.001 level. In this study,
we also used the average variance extracted (AVE) to
assess convergent validity. An AVE value of 0.50 or
higher indicates that, on average, the construct ex-
plains more than half of the variance of its indicators.
To establish discriminant validity, we used the HTMT
criterion, Fornell – Larcker criterion and cross load-
ings. The results of discriminant validity are show in
Table 3. Cross-factor loadings are reported in Ap-
pendix A.
The square root of the AVE of each construct should
be higher than its highest correlation with any other
construct49. Table 3 shows that the square root
of AVE exceeds the correlation between other con-
structs. In addition, all HTMT of constructs are sig-
nificantly smaller than 125. These results imply satis-
factory discriminant validity.
Structural model
The structural model was examined to test the hy-
potheses. The R2, which is generated for each re-
gression equation, indicates the explanatory power or
variance explained of the latent endogenous variable.
Figure 2 shows the structural model result.
Figure 2: Result of proposed researchmodel.
ThePLS path analysis results show that task – technol-
ogy fit was significantly related to individual job per-
formance (b = 0.434, p < 0.001) and perceived useful-
ness (b = 0.607, p < 0.001) supporting hypotheses H1
andH2. Perceived usefulness was significantly related
to individual job performance (b = 0.504, p < 0.001)
supporting hypotheses H3.

The external variables including task – technology fit
and perceived usefulness could explain 70.7 percent
variance in individual job performance (R2 = 0.707).
Task – technology fit explained 36.8 percent of vari-
ance of perceived usefulness (R2 = 0.368).
Next, we assessed the predictive relevance of the path
model by Q2 values. All Q2 values are considerably
above zero (Q2 of individual job performance is 0.631
and Q2 of perceived usefulness is 0.261), thus provid-
ing support for the model’s predictive relevance re-
garding the endogenous latent variables.
Thefinal assessments address the f2 and q2 effect sizes.
Table 4 summarizes the results of the f2 and q2 effect
sizes with respect to all the relationships in themodel.
Target constructs appear in the first row, whereas the
predecessor constructs are in the first column. Table 4
shows TTF has a large effect size of 0.405 (0.290) on
PER and of 0.583 (0.404) on PU. Similarly, PU has a
large effect size of 0.546 (0.345) on PER.
Additionally, the variance inflation factor (VIF) was
assessed to check multicollinearity. The collinearity
diagnostics given inTable 5 shows that VIF for the in-
dependent variables higher than 0.20 (lower than 5)
which further suggests that multicollinearity does not
exist among the independent variables.
MEDIATION ANALYSIS
In this study, we examined a mediator variable, inter-
venes between two other related constructs. Specifi-
cally, we examined the role of perceived usefulness in
the relationship from task – technology fit to individ-
ual job performance in ERP context. Table 6 shows
result of mediator variable. We find that both direct
effect and indirect effect are significant. Our finding
provided empirical support for the mediating role of
perceived usefulness in the relationship from task –
technology fit to individual job performance in ERP
context.
Because path coefficient of the relationship from task
– technology fit to individual job performance was
0.434 and significant, path coefficient of the relation-
ship from task – technology fit to perceived useful-
ness was 0.607 and significant, and path coefficient of
the relationship from perceived usefulness to individ-
ual job performance was 0.504 and significant, per-
ceived usefulness represents complementary media-
tion of the relationship from task – technology fit to
individual job performance in ERP context.
The Issue of CommonMethod Bias
We used the Harman’s single-factor test and the
marker variable approach to control for CMV in PLS
analysis. Result of Harman’s single-factor test by EFA
shows that one factor only account for 40.537% of the
total variance. In this case, CMV is not a serious prob-
lem50.
The marker variable approach was conducted by us-
ing marker variable. The first stage, we involved sur-
vey questionnaire that had a question was “Do you re-
ally like black coffee?” – this question was a marker
variable24. The next stage, we used PLS to test path
coefficient of the relationship frommarker variable to
other variable in proposal model including perceived
usefulness, task – technology fit and individual job
performance. Analysis results showed that all path
coefficients of the relationships from marker variable
to perceived usefulness, task – technology fit and in-
dividual job performance were less than 0.3 (-0.102,
0.094 and -0.060). This finding suggests that CMV
was not a serious problem in this study.
Besides, we also based on VIF to test CMB. Table 5
show that all VIFs resulting from a full collinearity test
were lower than 3.3, the model can be considered free
of CMB.

DISCUSSION
The results of this research supportedmost of the pro-
posed relationships in the structural model. Most
were consistent with the previous study results. Task
– technology fit was significantly and positively re-
lated to perceived usefulness and individual job per-
formance in ERP environment (H1 and H2 are sup-
ported). Perceived usefulness was significantly and
positively related to individual job performance in
ERP context (H3 is supported).
In ERP context, Kositanurit et al.5 found that task –
technology fit was the important factor bearing on in-
dividual performance. The result of this study is simi-
lar to the result ofKositanurit et al.5. Thenewfindings
of this study are that we provided empirical evidence
on the impact of task – technology fit to perceived use-
fulness and of perceived usefulness to individual job
performance in ERP environment.
CONCLUSIONS
This study added to the empirical evidence in the
application of background theories including TTF,
TAM and TTF models combined, DeLone and
McLean IS Success Model, and ECM. Besides, the re-
sults of this study also added to the theoretical back-
ground of ERP’s success, namely, the individual job
performance of employee in ERP context. Specifi-
cally, factors including perceived usefulness and tasks
and technology fit have a significant impact on the in-
dividual job performance employee in ERP context.
Furthermore, the results of this study help companies
who are planning to use ERP systems and the ERP
vendors and implementers become more knowledge-
able about ERP’s success and forecast success when
using ERP systems. In this study, the ERP success was
measured by job performance of employee. The fac-
tors that have been tested are the impact on the in-
dividual job performance of employee in ERP context
including perceived usefulness and tasks and technol-
ogy fit. Based on these results, the enterprise can plan
the application to improve the efficiency of ERP sys-
tems. At the same time, the ERP vendors and devel-
opers can better advise and support their customers
when delivering and deploying ERP systems.
This study has a few limitations. ERP implemen-
tations are complex and take time to complete51,52.
However, this study was restricted to the shakedown
phase of the implementation, which is widely ac-
knowledged to be the most critical in terms of con-
tinuation or abandonment of ERP 53. It could be that
these findings might change over time, with some
support structures gaining or losing influence on the
outcomes of interest. Work that gives greater consid-
eration to time would enrich our understanding of
this phenomenon. Thus, an area for possible future
work would be to examine ERP implementations and
support structures over a significantly longer period
of time—that is, across all phases of an implementa-
tion. Besides, this study collected data from ERP user
in many kinds of enterprises; therefore, there is a re-
striction related to applicability of this study for each
specific enterprise group.
This study chose an approach for the employee to as-
sess his or her job performance in ERP context that is
not evaluated by the supervisor of the employee. Fu-
ture research should collect data through supervisors
to measure the job performance of the employee in
ERP context.

TÓM TẮT
Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này là xem xét vai trò của sự hữu ích trong mối quan hệ giữa kết quả
công việc cá nhân và sự phù hợp giữa nhiệm vụ và công nghệ trong môi trường ứng dụng ERP.
Nghiên cứu được thực hiện bằng các bảng khảo sát được trả lời bởi 225 cá nhân. Kết quả phân tích
PLS_SEM cho thấy sự phù hợp giữa nhiệm vụ và công nghệ có tác động tích cực đáng kể đến cảm
nhận tính hữu dụng và kết quả công việc cá nhân trong môi trường ERP. Ngoài ra, cảm nhận tính
hữu dụng cũng có tác động đáng kể đến kết quả công việc cá nhân trongmôi trường ERP. Kết quả
của nghiên cứu này đã bổ sung bằng chứng thực nghiệm trong việc áp dụng các lý thuyết nền
tảng bao gồm các mô hình TTF, TAM và TTF kết hợp, mô hình thành công của hệ thống thông tin
của DeLone và McLean và mô hình ECM. Bên cạnh đó, các kết quả này cũng bổ sung vào nền tảng
lý thuyết về sự thành công trong ứng dụng ERP. Từ các kết quả nghiên cứu này, các công ty đang
có kế hoạch sử dụng hệ thống ERP và các nhà cung cấp và triển khai ERP có các cơ sở lý thuyết
vững chắc về sự thành công của ERP và dự báo sự thành công khi quyết định ứng dụng hệ thống
ERP. Dựa trên những kết quả này, doanh nghiệp có thể lập kế hoạch ứng dụng để cải thiện hiệu
quả của hệ thống ERP. Đồng thời, các nhà cung cấp và triển khai ERP có thể tư vấn và hỗ trợ khách
hàng tốt hơn khi cung cấp và triển khai hệ thống.
