The Impact Of Digital Governance On The Organizational Performance Of Employees At The Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority

Abstract

employees at the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority, in light of the rapid digital transformations driven by Saudi Vision 2030. Digital governance is defined as the organizational framework that encompasses transparency, accountability, and digital participation, guiding the use of information technology within institutions to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach, and data were collected from a random sample of 80 employees using a comprehensive questionnaire. The data were analyzed using correlation coefficients and linear regression analysis.

The results indicated that the level of implementation of digital governance dimensions—transparency, accountability, and participation—was moderate. Similarly, organizational performance was found to be at a comparable level, with values ranging from 2.97 to 3.34 on a 5-point scale. The statistical analysis revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between the dimensions of digital governance and organizational performance. The coefficient of determination (R²) was approximately 0.71, meaning that 71% of the variation in organizational performance can be explained by digital governance.

The study recommends enhancing digital transparency, empowering employees to participate in digital processes, and strengthening accountability mechanisms. It also advocates for the provision of specialized digital training programs and the adoption of performance-based digital reward systems. These findings underscore the importance of integrating digital governance as a strategic tool to improve institutional performance and foster human capital development.
