20.500.12556/DKUM-87062 Business IT alignment impact on corporate sustainability Business-IT alignment (BITA) has become crucial for effective organisational management in today's interconnected global economy. This article investigates the relationship between BITA and corporate sustainability, exploring how businesses can leverage BITA for sustainable growth and development. The study employs a case research approach in a multinational manufacturing organisation, utilising a mixed methods research (MMR) design. In the quantitative part of the research, the PLS-SEM technique was used to examine the influence of six BITA factors on employees' self-perceived action competence for sustainability (SPACS). This study confirmed that all six BITA factors strongly influence all three SPACS factors. In the qualitative part of the research, semi-structured interviews were used to measure the BITA maturity level of the organisation and the influence of BITA factors on corporate sustainability. Based on quantitative and qualitative research results, it can be confirmed that BITA strongly influences corporate sustainability. Results also confirm that there is no universal approach to BITA and its influence on corporate sustainability. Organisations must focus on all factors of BITA equally to achieve better levels of BITA and ensure its influence on corporate sustainability. business–IT alignment (BITA) corporate sustainability SPACS case research mixed methods research (MMR) PLS-SEM trajnost podjetja raziskave primerov raziskave mešanih metod true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-02-14 10:38:04 2024-02-14 10:51:41 2024-02-15 03:11:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-37 Št. 16, št. članka 12519 Letn. 15 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-07-22 2023-08-16 2023-08-17 005.934:004.056 162075907 10.3390/su151612519 2071-1050 Zabukovsek-2023-Business_IT_Alignment_Impact_o.pdf Zabukovsek-2023-Business_IT_Alignment_Impact_o.pdf 1 29DA992C959676FD3226C7D73395A2A6 9518cf06bbdf3c140c4db8fedb13f1e629715e633708a2d49f2ef05d17ada7be 3d8e4697-cb1e-11ee-9f39-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176140 https://doi.org/10.3390/su151612519 0 c14ea186-cb1c-11ee-9f39-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176139 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
