This comment is part of a comprehensive study to develop a contingency model of simulation success. The current study focuses on the psychometric
stability of the end-user computing satisfaction (EUCS) instrument by Doll and Torkzadeh (1988) when applied to users of computer simulation. Using a survey of 411 users, the researchers provide evidence that the EUCS instrument is a valid
and reliable measure of computer simulation success. Given this evidence, managers and simulation software product developers can confidently apply the instrument in the investigation of competing tools, features, and technologies. Subject
Areas: End-User Computing Satisfaction, Simulation, Simulation Success, and User Satisfaction.
