Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Enterprise Architecture for Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

This research aims to apply confirmatory factor analysis to identify the enterprise architecture components for higher education institutions. The research sample comprised 300 personnel from agencies within higher education institutions, which are higher education institutions under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation that use the database system of educational quality assurance called Commission on Higher Education Quality Assessment online system (CHE QA Online). The selection resulted from multi-stage random sampling from 100 higher education instructions. The research tool was an online questionnaire form on factors influencing the enterprise architecture in the digital transformation for higher education institutions by 5-level rating scale based on the Likert's scale. The result revealed that the enterprise architecture factor is consistent with empirical data (p-value = 0.370), which comprise 5 components: 1) Business 2) Data/Information 3) Application 4) Infrastructure and 5) Security. The research findings help higher education institutions design their blueprint for the institutional transformation to a digital organization.
