Abstract

Purpose Cloud computing that provides a new paradigm for a firm's use of information technology is getting a lot of attentions by practitioners. However, the empirical investigation on members of organizations using cloud computing are insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to examine the capabilities and perceptions of organizational members that should be considered important for successful cloud computing implementation. Design/methodology/approach This study proposed factors related to the capabilities and perceptions of members of the organization, and examined the relationship between these factors and successful cloud computing implementation and performance. In addition, this study tested the moderating effect of leadership and continuous supports through empirical analysis. The proposed hypotheses were verified through structural equation modeling using SmartPLS3.0 with the collected data. Findings The results showed that four factors except 'member behavior control' had a positive effect on successful cloud computing implementation, which had a positive effect on performance. In addition, leadership and organizational continuous support have been shown to strengthen the relationship among factors.
