Abstract

ABSTRACT We investigate whether the information technology (IT) function’s competence and role affect organizational ambidexterity. We first hypothesize that IT function competence is positively related to organizational ambidexterity. Following this, we suggest that the role of the IT function moderates the aforementioned relationship. We test our hypotheses with a matched pair sample of business managers and IT managers. Our results show that IT function competence positively influences organizational ambidexterity. Furthermore, this relationship is stronger when the IT function aims to be an active business partner or aims to reduce architectural complexity. Our study contributes to research on the IT function and IT value.

将信息技术职能的作用与其对组织的贡献联系起来

摘要我们研究了信息技术职能的能力和角色是否影响组织的双重灵活性。我们首先假设信息技术职能能力与组织二元性呈正相关。在此之后，我们建议IT职能部门的作用调节上述关系。我们用业务经理和IT经理的配对样本来检验我们的假设。我们的研究结果表明，信息技术职能能力对组织二元性有正向影响。此外，当IT部门的目标是成为一个活跃的业务合作伙伴或旨在降低体系结构复杂性时，这种关系会更加牢固。我们的研究有助于研究信息技术的功能和价值。

期刊介绍： The aim of the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) is to publish quality, fresh, and innovative work that will make a difference for future research and practice rather than focusing on well-established research areas. JOCEC publishes original research that explores the relationships between computer/communication technology and the design, operations, and performance of organizations. This includes implications of the technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, technological advances to keep pace with changes of organizations and their environments, emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance, and the many facets of electronic business. Theoretical, experimental, survey, and design science research are all welcome and might look at: • E-commerce • Collaborative commerce • Interorganizational systems • Enterprise systems • Supply chain technologies • Computer-supported cooperative work • Computer-aided coordination • Economics of organizational computing • Technologies for organizational learning • Behavioral aspects of organizational computing.
