The Role of Digital Transformation in Mitigating Organizational Obesity -A Field Study at Sonelgaz-Boumerdes Institution
Abstract
This study aimed to shed light on the role of digital transformation in alleviating organizational obesity with its dimensions (functional redundancy, functional slack, and decreased productivity). Its importance lies in the scarcity of studies addressing organizational obesity and how digital transformation can mitigate it. To address this issue, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to a sample of 54 employees at Sonelgaz-Boumerdes Institution. The descriptive analytical method was employed using SPSS V29 for statistical description, while the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method was utilized through SmartPLS 4 software for hypothesis testing and result analysis. Ultimately, the study concluded that digital transformation contributes to alleviating organizational obesity across its three dimensions in Sonelgaz-Boumerdes Institution. The study recommended the utilization of digital transformation as an effective means to mitigate organizational obesity.
