The aim of this article is to empirically validate and quantitatively test (using the structural equation method) the theoretical model communicated in an article ( Elhaddouchi & Elkharraz, 2020), and to strengthen the scientific framework of the results obtained (verification of research hypotheses).We have attempted to highlight the perceptions of the main players, belonging to a particular context (the Moroccan education system) concerning the question of the contribution of technology and IS capabilities to the organizational performance of the Moroccan school education system (ES). Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out using SPSS V 24.0 as a first step in purifying the measures and estimating their validity. The results of this analysis were used as inputs for a test of the measurement models following the LISREL procedure, as well as an examination of the measurement scales through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) under AMOS 24. We concluded our analysis with a test of the one-dimensionality of the variables retained in our research model. To improve the quality of our measures, a number of items were occasionally removed from the analysis, and both conceptual and statistical justifications were put forward to support our choices.Finally, the results of our hypothesis testing were presented and discussed, and proposals for improving the overall model were developed.
