AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD IT GOVERNANCE: EMPIRICAL STUDY.

Introduction:

Information technology now becomes very important for almost any organization or company, because it is believed to help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the business process of an organization or company. To achieve this requires a good IT management, so that IT can support the success of the organization in achieving its objectives.

Every new innovation brings about changes in its implementation. IT governance causes significant resistance and change, especially in work procedures and can also trigger the whole process of corporate reengineering and even lead to loss of job relocation. Resistance to change can be attributed to a lack of internal awareness of the importance of IT governance. Surveys and research show that resistance to change is a significant barrier to IT governance. Lack of awareness of the importance of IT governance can be an obstacle to their daily tasks. There are many examples of organizations, especially SMEs,  that are often associated with IT governance that really affect them . Awareness of IT governance declined as a result of financial scandals in the US so Sarbanes-Oxley  in 2002 restored the confidence of the stakeholders. Since then IT Governance has been revived.

Awareness and attitudes in the implementation of  IT governance in business circles, do not seem to be well developed in this field, regardless of the focus on IT governance.

Awareness and attitude are fundamental things that can affect success or failure. In addition, awareness also affects the user in responding, accepting or even rejecting something well or badly It is rare to find a study that discusses awareness and attitudes toward the implementation of IT Governance within an organization, there are  several studies that address alignment between business and IT strategies. Actually there are some studies that discuss awareness and attitude,  not in the realm of IT governance, but in the field of food (agribusiness) using nanotechnology.

Problem Statement:

1.      How To examine in more depth about how, why awareness and attitudes towards the implementation of IT governance is very important, so it can affect the performance of an organization or company.

Research Objectives:

1.      To examine in more depth about how, why awareness and attitudes towards the implementation of IT governance is very important, so it can affect the performance of an organization or company.

Methodology:

In this study the method or stage used to analyze and discuss the results, consists of four stages:

a) literature review

b) interview

c) questionnaire

d) analysis.

Conclusion:

             Awareness and attitude is very important, therefore need to get serious attention in an organization or company that closely related to the influence of a performance. Awareness and attitudes towards the implementation of IT Governance is essential to be recognized as a positive control of effective information systems to create two-way communication between the user community and executive management to what extent the application of IT governance. The average consciousness level obtained from this study was 3.5 with an average percentage of ± 72% with a risk reduction of ± 28%. That is, the implementation of IT governance has a very positive impact on the performance that exist in the organization because the risk has been reduced.

Knowledge and understanding of IT Governance is a fundamental issue in the implementation of IT Governance in an organization or company. Factor benefits and probability factors are directly proportional, but for risk reduction and inhibiting factors, the proportions are inversely proportional. In the next study, it is necessary to review the question both in terms of quantity and quality, so that the results obtained will be more valid than previous results. In addition, it is necessary to involve all parties involved (stakeholders) in the distribution of questionnaires. Finally, this research needs to be developed not limited to one organization, but within a wider scope.
