Abstract
Background and aim: Enterprise architecture is one of the tools of coordination with developments and is an almost new approach that is known today as an effective method in matching the strategic goals of organizations with their information and communication technologies. Based on this, the aim of this research is to assess and validate the components of the Enterprise architecture of Parliament Research Center based on information technology among the experts force.
Method: The research method is quantitative and validation type. The statistical population includes all employees of the Parliament Research Center in 2023, among whom 95 people were selected as a quota sample and field investigation was conducted on them. The measuring instrument of Enterprise architecture is a researcher-made questionnaire that was compiled using the existing theoretical model as well as studies related to Enterprise architecture, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to check the reliability of this questionnaire, and the results of the alpha coefficient were above 0.7.
Findings: The findings of this research have been done at two levels of validation and analytical description. In the validation dimension, first-order confirmatory factor analysis was used to estimate the construct validity of the organizational architecture scale with the help of Amos Graphics software. The value of the correlation coefficients between the hidden variables of the research was calculated in a standard way, and the highest correlation coefficient between alignment and integration was observed at 0.85, and after that, the value of the correlation coefficient for flexibility and empowerment is 0.78. Also, the lowest correlation between the two variables of alignment and flexibility was calculated as 0.51.
Conclusion: In general, the statistical indicators show the high validity of the indicators proposed for Enterprise architecture based on information technology, and also the descriptive findings show that experts force employees have a high ability in order to understand the Enterprise architecture and its implementation.
