The Influence of Big Data Management on Organizational Performance in Organizations: The Role of Electronic Records Management System Potentiality

Abstract

Aim/Purpose: The use of digital technology, such as an electronic records management system (ERMS), has prompted widespread changes across organizations. The organization needs to support its operations with an automation system to improve production performance. This study investigates ERMS’s potentiality to enhance organizational performance in the oil and gas industry. Background: Oil and gas organizations generate enormous electronic records that lead to difficulties in managing them without any system or digitalization procedure. The need to use a system to manage big data and records affects information security and creates several problems. This study supports decision-makers in oil and gas organizations to use ERMS to enhance organizational performance. Methodology: We used a quantitative method by integrating the typical partial least squares (SEM-PLS) approach, including measurement items, respondents’ demographics, sampling and collection of data, and data analysis. The SEM-PLS approach uses a measurement and structural model assessment to analyze data. Contribution: This study contributes significantly to theory and practice by providing advancements in identity theory in the context of big data management and electronic records management. This study is a foundation for further research on the role of ERMS in operations performance and Big Data Management (BDM). This research makes a theoretical contribution by studying a theory-driven framework that may serve as an essential lens to evaluate the role of ERMS in performance and increase its potentiality in the future. This research also evaluated the combined impacts of general technology acceptance theory elements and identity theory in the context of ERMS to support data management. Findings: This study provides an empirically tested model that helps organizations to adopt ERMS based on the influence of big data management. The current study’s findings looked at the concerns of oil and gas organizations about integrating new technologies to support organizational performance. The results demonstrated that individual characteristics of users in oil and gas organizations, in conjunction with administrative features, are robust predictors of ERMS. The results show that ERMS potentiality significantly influences the organizational performance of oil and gas organizations. The research results fit the big ideas about how big data management and ERMS affect respondents to adopt new technologies. Recommendations for Practitioners: This study contributes significantly to the theory and practice of ERMS potentiality and BDM by developing and validating a new framework for adopting ERMS to support the performance and production of oil and gas organizations. The current study adds a new framework to identity theory in the context of ERMS and BDM. It increases the perceived benefits of using ERMS in protecting the credibility and authenticity of electronic records in oil and gas organizations. Recommendation for Researchers: This study serves as a foundation for future research into the function and influence of big data management on ERMS that support the organizational performance. Researchers can examine the framework of this study in other nations in the future, and they will be able to analyze this research framework to compare various results in other countries and expand ERMS generalizability and efficacy. Impact on Society: ERMS and its impact on BDM is still a developing field, and readers of this article can assist in gaining a better understanding of the literature’s dissemination of ERMS adoption in the oil and gas industry. This study presents an experimentally validated model of ERMS adoption with the effect of BDM in the oil and gas industry. Future Research: In the future, researchers may be able to examine the impact of BDM and user technology fit as critical factors in adopting ERMS by using different theories or locations. Furthermore, researchers may include the moderating impact of demographical parameters such as age, gender, wealth, and experience into this study model to make it even more robust and comprehensive. In addition, future research may examine the significant direct correlations between human traits, organizational features, and individual perceptions of BDM that are directly related to ERMS potentiality and operational performance in the future.

Factor Influencing the Adoption of Big Data Analytics: A Systematic Literature and Experts Review

“…More importantly, technology acceptance is deemed to determine successful product/technology adoption, and its examination from the user’s perspective can provide new information concerning the likes and dislikes of its various features, the product, and the user’s attitude toward it (Hawash et al, 2023; Mukred et al, 2023). Therefore, a systematic literature review on the topic must present a complete picture of the acceptance level of big data technology.…”

“…In the same line of research, Pancic´et al (2023) investigated the factors of big data analytics and block-chain adoption and their subsequent influence on firm performance, driven by the increasing popularity of business intelligence. This highlights the importance of BDA as a professional tool to be used by governments and organizations worldwide (Hawash et al, 2023;Mukred et al, 2022).…”

Towards a Framework for Performance Management and Machine Learning in a Higher Education Institution

“…The studies of them showcased the pitfalls and benefits linked to the taught as online methods in higher institutions. [22] In their research, Hawash et al ( 2023) identified the impact of information management on the operational success of enterprises, specifically with regard to electronic records management systems. The studies highlighted the fact that big data analytics could be optimally used only if adequate data governance and the infrastructure were in place.…”
