This paper presents the development of a user evaluations based quality model for conceptual modelling scripts applyingSeddon’s variant of the well-known model of DeLone and McLean [W.H. DeLone, E.R. McLean, Information systemssuccess: the quest for the dependent variable, Information Systems Journal 3(1) (1992) 60–95] for evaluating the successof information systems. Given the growing awareness among researchers and practitioners about the importance of high-quality conceptual modelling scripts, it is surprising that there is no practical evaluation framework that considers the qualityof conceptual modelling scripts from the user perspective. A first research goal is therefore to determine what the appropriatedimensions are for evaluating the success or quality of conceptual modelling scripts from the user point of view. A secondgoal is to investigate the relationships between these quality dimensions. The paper also presents an empirical test of the pro-posed model of quality dimensions and their relationships. Results are presented of two experiments with 187 and 124 busi-ness students respectively, that were designed to test a set of hypotheses generated from the proposed model. The resultslargely support the proposed model and have implications for both theory and practice of quality evaluation of conceptualmodelling scripts.Read the full paper here: https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0169023X07000754?token=91E8CD3A45526DBCD6FF12C19D8B4447B1774F7BDDCFDD8B583D3357610DF86A8845D618434261C7D7B5877C66377E14
