Second, the relevant knowledge from the knowledge base used to support the design and evaluation of the artifact in this study showed by D. The rigor cycle: this study adopted fundamental scientiðc approaches involving IT governance theories, IT governance frameworks, models and methodologies, and IT governance mechanisms to design. Which resulted in the development of a conceptual framework to implement IT governance in Uganda's HILs (Ndagire et al, 2021) as earlier mentioned. The evaluation was accomplished in two phases using case study and expert opinion methods.…”

“…The remaining constructs that were statistically significant (using a p-value of 0.05) were considered for the development of IGHU. Upon the establishment of the conceptual framework to implement IT governance in Uganda's HILs (Ndagire et al, 2021), a framework evaluation was carried out. The internal environment mechanisms were: IT strategy committee, CIO reporting to CEO, architecture steering committee, accountability of IT projects, IT risk management, IT leadership, IT/business partnership, senior management involvement, and awareness campaigns.…”

The reliance on IT in day-to-day organization activities raises concern about how to deal with its increasing complexity. Managing IT necessitates implementing IT governance to realize the benefits of IT use. However, there is a lack of suitable frameworks to implement IT governance. For higher institutions of learning (HILs) in Uganda, the case is not different; hence, there is need to provide a framework to implement IT governance in Uganda's HILs. This paper therefore applies design science research principles to evaluate a framework for implementing IT governance in HILs in the context of Uganda. It was mainly achieved using a previous study in this environment as a basis. Framework evaluation was conducted using case study and expert opinion methods. Contrarily, the evaluation criteria was based on the framework understandability, ease of use, usefulness, and completeness. Results from the evaluation showed the framework satisfactorily implements IT governance in Uganda's HILs.

Purpose This study aims to collect empirical data and observe the type of influences that were causing impact to the implementation of information technology governance (ITG) mechanisms in Malaysia’s technical universities. This study enhanced the understanding on the status of ITG implementation and revealed internal and external influences that were shaping the types of ITG mechanisms implemented within universities and present a new perspective through the lens of resource-based view and continuous improvement. Design/methodology/approach This study focused on two Malaysia’s technical universities belongs under same university’s network. Five IT leaders involved in the implementations of ITG from each university were interviewed. Qualitative content analysis was used as the main analyzing method to extract categories and themes from the transcripts. Final results were produced after multiple efforts of refining categories and themes in ITG implementations. Findings The findings revealed that both Malaysia’s technical universities had more soundly implementations in structure mechanisms than relational and process mechanisms. The shaping of implemented mechanisms was influenced by environment surrounding the universities, internally and externally. The findings proposed that the internal and external factors are best addressed with the growth of internal ITG expertise. Research limitations/implications This research was conducted on two of Malaysia’s technical universities that were under a university network. Although both universities had presented the exact trend in the type of ITG mechanisms implemented in the universities, more empirical data were needed to further solidify the findings from this study. Other than that, the major respondents for this research were middle-level IT officers and leaders in the universities. Further research could be conducted specifically on top-level managements to further understand the point of views of top managements in the aspect of ITG mechanisms implementations in universities. Originality/value This study discussed how each factor could influence the types of ITG mechanisms implemented in Malaysia’s technical universities and concluded the attentions needed to improve the overall environment for ITG implementations in universities through the lens of resource-based view and continuous improvement.

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of IT governance mechanisms (ITG structures, ITG process, ITG relational mechanisms) on public sector financial performance in Bauchi state. The paper adopts cross-sectional survey research design and collected primary data using structured questionnaire. The population was 2316 staffs of the five selected MDAs within Bauchi state where the sample of 331 staff were selected using Krejcie and Morgan table. The data collected was analyzed using multiple regression technique with the help of SPSS version 23. The paper found that IT governance structures and processes have significant positive effect on public sector financial performance in Bauchi state. In line with the findings, the paper concludes that IT governance and its mechanisms serve as an effective tool for managing the state financial resources address the problem of inefficient service delivery inherent to public sector operations in Bauchi state. In view of the finding and conclusion outlined, it was recommended that Bauchi state public entities should implement a robust system of monitoring and evaluation of IT governance structures by regularly assessing the key performance indicators related to cost reduction, revenue enhancement and operational efficiency. They should also revisit their strategic objectives and financial goals to clarify how IT governance processes can fit in to contribute in achieving these objectives. Finally, government should contribute by enacting, implementing and enforcing enabling law that guides how IT resources of public entities should be governed in such a way that revenue accrued to the government is improved.
