Abstract

Digital technology has made its impact globally through changes in both organizational processes and information management system (IMS). The current research aimed to examine the manner in which digital readiness and digital competences influence the implementation of IMS in Chinese organizations with organizational support as a moderator. The study also examines the mediating role of digital competences among digital tool application, digital media awareness and effectiveness of IMS. Survey questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 290 employees of private sector organizations in China. SPSS-AMOS data analysis tools were used to check the associations among variables. The outcomes indicated that the digital tool application and digital media awareness have a positive nexus with effectiveness of IMS. The results also revealed that the digital competences significantly mediates among digital tool application, digital media awareness and effectiveness of IMS, and that organizational support also significantly moderates among digital competences and effectiveness of IMS in private sector organizations in China. © 2024, El Profesional de la Informacion.
