Abstract: The study focused on examining the relationship between the factors
that influence the implementation success of an automated system for customs
data usage in the Uganda Revenue Authority. A cross-sectional and
quantitative survey design was adopted, consisting of a sample of 118
respondents from the three eastern regional branches of the Uganda Revenue
Authority. The findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between
perceived systems quality, self-management of usage, perceived net benefits,
perceived information quality, and implementation success of ASYCUDA
World moderated by user attitude. The predictive power of the study variables
was found to be 35% (adjusted R square = 0.350). In this regard, perceived
systems quality, self-management of usage, perceived net benefits and
perceived information quality were found to be better predictors of the
implementation success of ASYCUDA World. This study adds to the body of
knowledge available by generating further evidence regarding the factors
influencing the implementation success of ASYCUDA World in Uganda
Revenue Authority.
