An examination of end-user types

Abstract An empirical study is presented; it verifies that types of computer end users differ significantly with respect to system usage and dependency. The differences are shown to exist even when controlling for differences in attitudes towards EUC, organizational support, end-user training, and demographics. The results suggest that existing structural models for end-user computing should be refined to take these differences among end users into account.
