Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to prioritize the components of information technology application from the perspective of change management in the Ministry of Sports and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The methodology of this research is descriptive-survey and based on the purpose is applied. The statistical society is 812 employees of all departments of the Ministry of Sports and Youth in 2016. The sample was calculated 261 based on Cochran formula that was selected by stratified random sampling. To collect information, two standard and international questionnaires were used: Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and ADKAR for change management. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics including Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, single sample t test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression test. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between the components of information technology application including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards application and willingness to use; with change management. Also, in prioritizing the components of the use of information technology from the perspective of change management; perceived usefulness, the tendency to use, attitude towards the use and finally the perceived ease of the first to fourth priority respectively.
