Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The role of Leadership to improve IT management has been extensively discussed at both corporate and academic level.However, a model that relates both Organizational and Information Technology (IT) Leadership with the achievement of Information Systems (IS) success is not readily available.This paper discusses the preliminary findings of a study that assesses the effect of leadership on IS success.Leadership is measured at the organizational level as a component of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) and at the IT level as a part of IT-Business alignment structure.Instruments to measure Leadership and IS success are devised and an empirical study within a municipal government is conducted.Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to evaluate the proposed "IS Leadership Success" model.The preliminary results of the study empirically validated the instruments and provided support for the relationship between leadership and IS success.
