Unravelling causal and temporal influences underpinning monitoring systems success: A typological approach
采用模糊集定性比较分析和过程追踪，研究欧洲社会基金监控系统的成功，揭示因果机制和时间路径，构建类型学理论。
Abstract This paper is concerned with the causal and temporal underpinnings of information systems success. It uses a typological approach based on fuzzy‐set Qualitative Comparative Analysis and process tracing. It investigates success across multiple cases of information systems adopted for monitoring the disbursement and use of resources within the European Social Fund. The study unravels the causal mechanisms and temporal pathways underpinning success in these systems. It develops a typological theory of monitoring systems success that reveals the temporal pathways embedded within individual cases, as well as broader theoretical patterns emerging across cases. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications are discussed.
