Abstract


This study aims to examine the mediating roles of digital capabilities, digital culture, and collaboration in the relationship between digital strategies and the digitalization of private universities in Indonesia. The research employs data analysis methods using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with WARP PLS 7.0 as the data processing application. A total of 149 respondents, consisting of the top leaders of private universities in Indonesia, were collected, but only 131 respondents met the criteria for testing. The results indicate that there is a full mediating role (fully mediated) of all three mediating variables, namely digital capabilities, digital culture, and collaboration. On the other hand, no direct relationship was found between digital strategies and digitalization. The findings provide recommendations for private universities in Indonesia to improve their organizational ability to manage digital technologies and ensure that the work environment supports digital transformation
