*Abstract *

The importance of user participation in information systems development has
received a lot of attention from researchers. While prior research efforts
have clarified many issues related to user participation, the reasons
behind user’s participation in IS projects are still unexplored. The study
raises the question of what are the different motives for user
participation in IS project. The investigation uses multivariate data
analysis techniques to propose a dimensional representation of user
participation motives in the context of IS projects. The results identify
five user participation motives i.e. nature of association, techno centric
activity, user centric activity, user interest, and project importance. The
results of the study contribute to both theory and practice by segregating
the different dimensions of user participation motives that may serve as
cues in designing effective user integration mechanisms.
