This approach is emphasized in the field of information technology planning in public and private organizations. The benefits of architecture-based organizational transformation are obvious for all organizations. The more organizations face environmental changes, the more they need architecture-based organizational transformation. In other words, it is a rapid response to ever-changing and complex environments towards a common goal. Therefore, in an organization like the Parliament Research Center, organizational transformation based on architecture is a constructive approach to create transformation in the entire organizational structures of the country. Accordingly, this research aims to measure organizational transformation based on architecture within this organization. 2- THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKArchitecture-based organizational transformation is defined by alignment, integration, flexibility, and agility. All these four components are based on information technology. From the point of view of information technology, this type of transformation is focused on achieving the alignment of the market and information technology, supporting the organizations' strategies. In general, the alignment of information technology is a prerequisite to supporting intelligence in society and achieving digitization. The organizations' development is accelerated through integration based on information technology, reducing the risk of projects. In addition to improving the current state of organizational transformation, this integration type can advance the organizational goals. Since every organization is constantly under pressure from external factors, it requires a certain level of flexibility. The most important reason for organizational transformation based on architecture is the necessity of responsiveness against environmental changes. Agile organizational architecture is a new idea for improving the existing transformation tools. With an agile architectural process, the transformation process gains more momentum. 3- METHODOLOGYThis is quantitative research. The statistical population includes all managers, deputies, and experts of the Parliament Research Center in 2023, among which 95 people were selected using quota sampling. The tool for measuring organizational architecture was a researcher-made questionnaire developed using the existing theoretical models and related studies. Two indices of CVR and CVI were employed to assess the content validity of this questionnaire. In addition, a first-order confirmatory factor analysis was utilized in Amos Graphics software to estimate the questionnaire’s construct validity. Furthermore, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate its reliability. 4- RESULTS & DISCUSSIONThe coefficient between alignment and integration, 0.85, was the biggest correlation coefficient between the latent variables. After that, the correlation between flexibility and empowerment with a coefficient of 0.78 was dramatic. The smallest correlation was calculated 0.51 belonged to the relationship between alignment and flexibility. The statistical indicators indicated the high validity of the organizational transformation construct, and thus, this research can be used as a basis for future research. In general, research findings indicated that organizational transformation based on architecture not only is a necessity for organizations but also it should be considered as a supreme goal. 5- CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONSMany researchers have emphasized organizational architecture as a tool for transformation in organizations. Technology-based architecture not only affects organizational strategy, but also creates alignment between technical and social systems and, consequently, will increase organizational effectiveness. The organizational architecture is efficient when it creates integration in all the technology sectors. Furthermore, flexibility is necessary to accompany the changes in the architectural process. Considering the importance of architecture-based organizational transformation for all organizations, it is suggested that the top and middle management of the organization pursue architecture-based organizational transformation projects. To do so, the corporate strategies should be determined in advance and organizational transformation should be placed above them. The excellence of organizational culture is also important as one of the main solutions for improving organizational transformation based on architecture. تحول سازمانی مبتنی بر معماری یکی از ابزارهای هماهنگی با تحولات بوده و رویکردی تقریباً جدید است که امروزه به‌عنوان روشی مؤثر در تطبیق اهداف راهبردی سازمان‌ها با فناوری‌های اطلاعاتی و ارتباطی آن‌ها شناخته شده است. بر همین اساس هدف این پژوهش سنجش تحول سازمانی مبتنی بر معماری سازمانی در ساختار مرکز پژوهش‌های مجلس است. روش انجام پژوهش کمّی و از نوع اعتباریابی است. جامعه آماری شامل همه مدیران، معاونان و کارشناسان مرکز پژوهش‌های مجلس در سال 1402 است که از میان آن‌ها 95 نفر به‌صورت سهمیه‌ای به‌عنوان نمونه انتخاب و بررسی میدانی بر روی آن‌ها انجام شده است. ابزار اندازه‌گیری معماری سازمانی، پرسشنامه محقق ساخته است که با استفاده از الگوی نظری موجود و همچنین مطالعات مربوط به معماری سازمانی تدوین شده و برای بررسی پایایی این پرسشنامه از ضریب آلفای کرونباخ استفاده شده که نتایج ضریب آلفا بالای 7/0 شده است. یافته‌های این پژوهش در دو سطح اعتباریابی و توصیف تحلیلی انجام شده است. در بعد اعتباریابی برای برآورد روایی سازه مقیاس‌ تحول سازمانی مبتنی بر معماری از تحلیل عامل تأییدی مرتبه اول به کمک نرم‌افزار Amos Graphics استفاده شد. مقدار ضرایب همبستگی بین متغیرهای پنهان پژوهش به‌صورت استاندارد محاسبه شده و بیشترین ضریب همبستگی بین همسویی و یکپارچگی به میزان 85/0 مشاهده شد و بعد از آن مقدار ضریب همبستگی برای انعطاف‌پذیری و توانمندسازی مقدار 78/0 است. همچنین کمترین همبستگی بین دو متغیر همسویی و انعطاف‌پذیری به مقدار 51/0 محاسبه شده است. تحول سازمانی مبتنی بر معماری نه‌تنها یک ضرورت برای سازمان، بلکه باید به‌عنوان یک هدف متعالی موردتوجه قرار گیرد. در کل شاخص‌های آماری نشان از اعتبار بالای شاخص‌های مطرح شده برای تحول سازمانی مبتنی بر معماری در بعد فناوری اطلاعات دارد و نتایج آن می‌تواند مبنای برای پژوهش‌های آتی باشد. https://tmj.um.ac.ir/article_45721_f8327b26a178ba557a59ace3378c2f95.pdf
