Abstract

Certain researchers argue that systems analysts are too technical, a situation that may contribute to system failures. The results of this study, however, contradict this argument. By applying a framework of Dos Santos and Hawk 1988, analysts were found to have three primary orientations: technical, socio-political, and user. No one orientation dominated. Using the framework applied in this study, managers can consider the analysts' orientations in assigning development activities. Researchers can identify diverse orientations in future studies where attitudes may be significant predictors of system performance or development success.

系统分析师对信息系统开发的态度

某些研究人员认为，系统分析师过于技术化，这种情况可能会导致系统故障。然而，这项研究的结果却反驳了这一观点。通过应用Dos Santos和Hawk 1988的框架，分析人员发现有三个主要方向:技术、社会政治和用户。没有哪个方向占主导地位。使用本研究中应用的框架，管理人员可以在分配开发活动时考虑分析师的取向。研究人员可以在未来的研究中确定不同的方向，其中态度可能是系统性能或开发成功的重要预测因素。
