Abstract

This study examines how intranet quality affects the financial performance of Malaysian public universities, filling a crucial gap in understanding how internal digital infrastructure supports institutional sustainability. It highlights Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) as a mediating factor translating intranet quality into measurable performance results. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 210 participants, including risk committees, internal auditors, and top management from 20 public universities in Malaysia. This study used purposive, stratified, and census sampling methods. Intranet quality was evaluated across six key areas: collaboration tools, risk management application, access to proper risk data, interaction in risk problem-solving, communication among the risk committee, and risk management controls. ERM implementation was measured using ISO 31000-aligned standards, while university financial performance was assessed through five income sources: research projects, consultancies, public and private funding, commercialisation, and program offerings. Covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) was employed for analysis. Findings reveal that intranet quality significantly improves ERM implementation, positively impacting financial performance. ERM partially mediates this relationship, with more substantial indirect effects than direct ones. This study emphasises the strategic importance of digital infrastructure and risk governance in boosting institutional effectiveness. It proposes a socio-technical model that helps university leaders leverage intranet systems to enhance risk resilience and long-term financial sustainability.
