Findings -First, the relationship between antecedent factors, i.e. organizational, technological and individual factors and intranet effective usage and intranet service quality as well as the consequences of these two factors on user performance warrants for more exploration. Second, through an understanding of antecedent factors with intranet effective usage and intranet service quality as well as the impact of these two factors on employee effectiveness, organizations may gain an understanding that could improve their intranet usage and service quality leading towards better employee performance. Lastly, since the effectiveness of intranet is directly or indirectly impact organizational effectiveness, a better understanding of intranet success would definitely promote towards clearer understanding of organizational success.

“…Tsai et al (2011) established a significant positive link between the service qualities of consultants and individual performance by using the integrated SERVQUAL model.
