Abstract

This paper introduces and exploratory study that aims to explore the Information Technology (IT) Governance in Saudi Arabia. The goal is to identify the most commonly used IT Governance frameworks in both government and private sectors in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the study aims to identify the reasons that lead to selecting certain frameworks in both private and government sectors. This study is considered among the first studies that explore IT Governance in Saudi Arabia. IT workers perspectives were collected using an online questionnaire. The results show that IT Governance is still vague in the government sector compared to the private sector. The most used frameworks were identified, and the reasons were also recognized. The study revealed some facts that may lead to future research and investigations.
