ERP customization had positive impacts on training effectiveness, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use of customized ERP systems. 3. Training effectiveness had a positive impact on perceived ease of use. 4. Perceived ease of use had a positive impact on perceived usefulness. 5. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness had positive impacts on the attitude toward using customized ERP systems. 6. Perceived usefulness and attitude had positive impacts on the intention to use customized ERP systems.
