Information Technology Governance: Applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour

Abstract

The importance of IT governance has received increasing attention in the recent years. Extensive literature addresses top management and organisational issues of IT governance. However, recent findings suggest that people issues in IT governance equally deserve attention. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the influence of IT practitioners and management guidance on the extent of their participation in IT governance initiatives. A quantitative study was conducted among IT practitioners in Malaysia. Data analysis using Partial Least Squares suggests that subjective norms and perceived behavioural controls on IT practitioners result in greater participation in IT governance initiatives. However, attitudes do not have significant relationship with participation in IT governance initiatives, in contrast with prediction of the theory. Further analysis reveals that awareness and perceived importance of IT governance are the two most important factors from the practitioner perspective. As for management guidance, organisational processes and reward system are the most important, closely followed by organisational structure. The findings reaffirm that IT governance requires control in the form of organisational structures, processes, goal settings and reward system to encourage desirable behaviours in IT governance initiatives.

Important Factors in Information Technology Governance Awareness: An Empirical Survey of the Expert’s Opinion in Indonesia

“…Relevant research related to IT Governance awareness has been carried out by ISACA 2013 by surveying 843 IT professionals in the Asia Pacific region. The results of the study state that increasing awareness among employees is considered as the most important action to improve IT risk management which is one of the objectives of IT Governance (Teo et al, 2013). Another relevant research is done in Indonesia namely discussing awareness by referring to and considering benefits, risk reduction, opportunities and obstacles (Yudatama et al, 2017), which later this research was developed with using Interpretive Structural Model (ISM) to look for the hierarchical relationship of each of these factors (Yudatama et al, 2018a).…”
