Keywords:
Information Technology Strategy, Participatory Management, Technology ManagementAbstract
The present study aims to examine the role of organizational information technology strategies in enhancing participatory management. In terms of purpose, this research is applied, and in terms of method, it is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study consists of 145 managers and IT experts in export-oriented businesses, from which 105 individuals were selected using Cochran's formula and a random sampling method. To collect the required data, a researcher-made questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale was employed. The content validity of the instrument was confirmed by specialists and experts, and Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability methods were used to assess its reliability. After distributing the questionnaire, the construct validity (outer model), convergent validity (AVE), and discriminant validity of the instrument were evaluated. The AVE value for all variables should be greater than 0.5. To test the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling was performed using Smart PLS 2 statistical software. The findings of the study indicate that all research hypotheses were confirmed. Accordingly, goal and approach setting, the use of capabilities and resources, and the anticipation of potential opportunities and challenges in IT strategies have a significant impact on enhancing participatory management.
