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.
