They tested the associations between their model's success dimensions by using more than 4,400 employees' responses, which were collected in 12 companies across different industries. They applied structural equation modeling to carry out the causal analysis. In addition, within a performance\u2010based analysis, they further investigated the success dimensions' improvement potentials.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of the causal analysis indicate that besides the factors contributing to the success of information systems (IS) in general, other success dimensions \u2013 like the quality of the collaboration and process support \u2013 have to be considered when aiming for a successful employee portal. The performance\u2010based analysis emphasizes the significance of collaboration quality to improve an employee portal and indentifies the respective fields of action.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper's contribution to theory is the empirical validation of a model for investigating employee portal success.
