The relationship among personality type, user involvement, and procedural justice in accounting information systems design

This study examined the relationship among personality type, user involvement, and procedural justice in the design of accounting information systems (AIS). Accounting industry professionals and paraprofessionals were surveyed to determine their personality type and their perceptions of actual and desired involvement and procedural justice with an AIS implementation project of their choice.; A Proposed Research Model was presented based on Personality Type Theory (PTT), Doll and Torkzadeh's Discrepancy Model of End-User Computing Involvement, and Hunton and Price's model integrating procedural justice with user participation concepts. This Proposed Research Model was used to classify each respondent into one of 16 Myers-Briggs personality types and into an involvement state based on measures of perceived actual and desired end-user computing involvement.; Personality types were compared to determine if there were differences in perceived involvement, desired involvement, involvement state, and perceptions of procedural justice. Relationships among perceived involvement, desired involvement, involvement state, and procedural justice were also examined.; The results suggested that personality type was not an influence on involvement or procedural justice perceptions. However, the results also suggested that positive relationships existed among perceived involvement, desired involvement, and procedural justice. Additionally, users classified in the involvement states of saturation and equilibrium may perceive significantly higher levels of procedural justice than users classified in the involvement state of high deprivation.
