The research followed a descriptive analytical approach and collected data through a self-administered questionnaire.
Data were collected from a sample of 150 ERP system users, working at UNRWA Headquarter offices in Gaza, Amman, and Jerusalem, from which 127 responses were received at a response rate of 84.67%.
Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression.
The findings of this research showed that ERP system users at UNRWA HQ were involved in the ERP project and participated significantly in the project different activities, the results showed that 64.45% of the respondents were involved in the ERP project activities.

In relation to user satisfaction of the ERP project, results showed that 74.42 % of the respondents were satisfied with the system business functionality and 68.59% were satisfied with the system technical functionality.
