Abstract

Purpose

With the arrival of the big data era, governments have appointed a chief data officer (CDO) to meet the opportunities and challenges brought by big data. The existing research on the CDOs is very limited, and what does exist focuses primarily on what are CDOs do. Little research has explored how CDOs do. To fill this gap, this study employed ambidexterity theory to investigate the ambidexterity of CDOs’ impact on data-driven innovation.

Design/methodology/approach

To empirically test the model, a survey study was conducted to empirically test the model. Data were collected from 261 CDOs in government and government employees in big data management centers or bureaus. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively to answer hypotheses using a structural equation model.

Findings

The findings suggest that data exploitation and data exploration significantly influence data-driven leadership, culture and value propositions. Data-driven leadership and value propositions significantly impact government performance.

Originality/value

This study is one of the first attempts to investigate how CDOs work, especially when promoting data-driven innovation. In addition, this study extends ambidexterity theory into the issue of the CDO in government.

首席数据官如何促进数据驱动的创新：实证调查

目的随着大数据时代的到来，各国政府纷纷任命首席数据官（CDO），以应对大数据带来的机遇和挑战。关于首席数据官的现有研究非常有限，现有研究主要集中于首席数据官做什么。很少有研究探讨 CDO 如何工作。为了填补这一空白，本研究采用了ambidexterity理论来研究CDO的ambidexterity对数据驱动创新的影响。调查对象包括 261 名政府 CDO 和政府大数据管理中心或局的员工。研究结果表明，数据开发和数据探索对数据驱动型领导力、文化和价值主张有显著影响。数据驱动型领导力和价值主张对政府绩效有重大影响。原创性/价值本研究是首次尝试研究 CDO 如何工作的研究之一，尤其是在促进数据驱动型创新时。此外，本研究还将灵活性理论延伸到了政府 CDO 的问题上。

期刊介绍： The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
