Factors Influencing the Digital Transformation toward High-Performance Education Organizations

Overview & Synopsis

This study investigates in-depth information about the factors influencing the digital transformation of an educational establishment to becoming a high-performance education organization through the dimensions of digital enterprise architecture, digital transformation, and high-performance education organization using structural equation modeling (SEM) as a tool to verify the model. A sample of 520 staff members, selected using a multi-stage random sampling method from 22 departments under the Office of the Basic Education Commission (Head Office), Ministry of Education, Thailand, answered an online questionnaire. The results revealed that the model was valid and fit with the empirical data. The results also showed that business architecture, data architecture, application architecture, technology architecture, security architecture, human capital architecture, and infrastructure architecture had a direct and indirect influence on the context of digital transformation and high-performance education organizations. There was technology architecture and human capital architecture that had an indirect influence on high-performance education organization; other than that, there was none. All hypotheses (H1-H10) were supported by statistical criteria. These results indicate that digital enterprise architectures are essential development tools influencing an organization toward becoming a high-performance education organization.
