Purpose: Application of Information Technology (IT) in organizations, is influenced by a myriad of factors within the context of individuals, organizations, and the environment. These factors might facilitate or hinder the correct use of information technology in the organizations.   The main reason for organizations using information technology is to increase the organizational productivity.  So, recognizing factors contributing to the application of IT can be vital for any organizations.
Methodology: Method applied was Meta-analysis which was computed by Comprehensive Meta Analysis (CMA2) software. Findings of the previous research conducted in the IT application in Iran were scrutinized  with the aim of evaluating comparing the magnitude of each factor. 
Findings: Findings recognized 27 factors from 65 studies. Among the 27 effective factors in the IT application: IT skills, organizational structure, organizational culture, motivation and organizational environment had the highest effect. Gender, education, and age had the lowest effects. In order to simplify the findings, factors were classified in three groups:   individual factors, organizational factors and environmental factors of which organizational factors had the highest effect size with  a score of 0.617 and individual factors had the lowest effect size with a score of 0.493.
Conclusion: Iranian organizations incorporating information technology must pay added attention to the dimensions of staff skills, organizational structure and employee motivation.
