Collected data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The results showed that there is a significant causal relationship between information technology acceptance and staff empowerment and also between the information technology acceptance and organizational culture and reward management system. Besides, the findings of the study show that organizational culture and reward management system as a whole can increase the relationship between information technology acceptance and staff empowerment; but the direct effect of information technology acceptance on empowerment is more than its indirect effect through organizational culture and reward management system‎‎.
