A descriptive approach that utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods was employed to investigate the contribution levels of top management support in an information system project, and the effect top management support has on Information system project success. The findings of this quantitative study addressed the research questions and demonstrated that (a) an important contribution does exist between “Provide Resources”, “Structural Arrangement”, “Expertise”, “Communication” and “Power” with Information system Project success. (b) A significant and relatively critical relationship does exist between “Provide Resources” with Information system Project success.
