The Role of Information Technology in Governance Mechanism for Strategic Business Contribution: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Information Technology Governance (ITG) aims in schools to align IT and business transformation, which is also important in high schools (HS). This study focuses on identifying the factors that influence the mechanism of ITG in HS to contribute to the business strategy. Teachers, staff, and management from Indonesia were chosen as research respondents. The Development model, which includes the readiness model, success model, and system trust variables, was used for media analysis to create the ITG model. The study used the Quantitative method to measure the significance value between variables using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that the ITG model is composed of nine variables, with four exogenous variables and four endogenous variables, and the ITG variable showed a significant value of 0.75. This indicates that the supporting variables for ITG, including four exogenous and four endogenous variables, significantly affect the ITG variable by 75%. The study also found that an increase in the system trust variable due to good IT and business variables can have a positive impact. This ITG trust model can be used to assess the alignment of IT and business strategies and whether IT investments support business objectives in HS. The study can also help HS stakeholders identify the antecedent factors of ITG.
