The Role of Software Technology Adoption on Project Success at Research Institutes in Southwest Nigeria

The paper examined the role of software technology adoption on project success at research institutes in Southwest Nigeria. The study employed a survey research method based on a simple structured questionnaire to gather data. Mean item ratings were used to rank the level of software technology adoption. Partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse mean item relationships. The results show a positive and significant effect between software technology adoption and project success. Among the software technologies, Microsoft Excel ranked first, with a mean value of 4.5. If software technology is made available, researchers are more productive in their daily activities, and success rates increase.
