Abstract

This article aims to present formal governance practices of information technology adapted to the general context of Moroccan universities. The study consists of two main phases: the conceptualization phase and the operationalization phase. During the conceptualization phase, the authors reviewed relevant literature on best practices and their associated frameworks in higher education institutions (HEIs). The results revealed that universities had varying levels of maturity in terms of good practices and often used multiple information system frameworks, which can cause organizational and technical problems. In order to find a solution to this situation, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with chief information officers (CIOs) and university officials from four Moroccan universities during the operationalization phase. These interviews enabled them to propose an effective baseline of best practices and an algorithmic approach to assist managers in choosing between two combinations of frameworks that cover all the mechanisms of the baseline. This solution would enable optimal, agile, and easy-to-implement information technology governance in Moroccan universities while avoiding the multiplicity of frameworks.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of information technology governance (ITG) on digital transformation (DT) in Moroccan higher education institutions, particularly emphasising the mediating role of absorptive capacity. Utilising a rigorous methodological framework, the research analyzes data collected from 110 staff members using structural equation modelling with the SmartPLS tool. The goal is to explore the complex dynamics between ITG practices and DT capability. The findings reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between ITG mechanisms and absorptive capacity (AC) and between the latter and the success of DT. The study also identifies AC as a crucial mediator between ITG and digital capability (DC). It suggests universities should strengthen their AC and adopt open policies to increase their innovative potential. This contribution enriches the existing literature by empirically confirming the influence of certain IT governance variables on DC within Moroccan universities, offering valuable insights for academic researchers and practitioners involved in IT governance strategies and DT.
