Abstract: In the current competitive global market, organizations are implementing information and communication technology (ICT) that could add value to their products, processes, and satisfaction of their users. The adoption, implementation and use of homegrown enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is one of these mechanisms being globally used for recording, processing, storing, and exchanging organizational information anytime anywhere. Although organizations have been utilizing ERP systems, the acceptance of homegrown ERP systems is given less attention as compared to commercial off-the shelf (COTS) software. Hence, this research studied factors that determine acceptance of homegrown ERP through the extension of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. The finding revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, competitive advantage, cost effectiveness, and facilitations functions are determinants of homegrown ERP system acceptance in Ethiopia. Moreover, experience and voluntariness are found to be significant moderators of the study.
