Abstract

The study aims to identify the impact of digital transformation as a mediating variable in the relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction. The data were collected from a random sample of faculty and staff members in Saudi universities, where 350 valid responses were obtained for analysis. The study finds a positive and strong correlation between organizational culture and its dimensions (values, expectations, norms, policies, and procedures) and job satisfaction and its dimensions (work requirements factors, labor relations factors, work conditions factors). Also, there is a positive and strong relationship between organizational culture and digital transformation and between digital transformation and job satisfaction. Moreover, there is a partial mediating effect (direct and indirect) of digital transformation and its dimensions (setting strategy, building culture, managing field operations) on the relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction at the level of basic variables and their dimensions for spreading awareness of the importance of digital transformation in various institutions, including universities. This reveals the difficulties facing Saudi universities in the process of digital transformation, considering the COVID-19 pandemic. The study reached several conclusions. First, lower administrative levels are not allowed to participate in the planning of new applications. Second, the training programs offered to civil and technical workers in the universities under study are weak. The study recommended the necessity of continuous improvement of networks, computers, and software to improve working conditions.

数字化转型在组织文化与工作满意度关系中的中介作用

本研究旨在确定数字化转型在组织文化与工作满意度的关系中作为中介变量的影响。这些数据是从沙特大学的教职员工随机抽样中收集的，其中获得了350份有效答复以供分析。研究发现，组织文化及其维度(价值观、期望、规范、政策和程序)与工作满意度及其维度(工作要求因素、劳动关系因素、工作条件因素)之间存在正相关关系。此外，组织文化与数字化转型、数字化转型与工作满意度之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，数字化转型及其维度(制定战略、建设文化、管理现场运营)在基本变量及其维度层面上对组织文化与工作满意度之间的关系具有部分中介作用(直接和间接)，有助于在包括大学在内的各种机构中传播数字化转型重要性的意识。这反映了沙特大学在数字化转型过程中面临的困难。这项研究得出了几个结论。一是不允许下级行政部门参与新申请的规划。其次，所研究高校对土木技术工人的培训项目薄弱。该研究建议有必要不断改进网络、计算机和软件，以改善工作条件。

期刊介绍： Issues of governance, responsibility and accountability are becoming increasingly important as the world, simultaneously, becomes dominated by corporations, interconnected via forces of globalisation and transparent through heightened media attention and the rise in internet-led democracy. Companies, and in particular leaders of business, can no longer hide from their responsibilities to wider stakeholder community by claims of ignorance of corporate malpractices and of failure. Boards of directors are being increasingly made responsible for both the successes and failures of their companies, as well as their own conduct and behaviours. Actions of business have increasingly become a concern not just for shareholders but also for the wider community at large.
