This study employed a conceptual framework to investigate the information processing facet of IT\u2013business alignment under the impact mechanism of transactional leadership in the manufacturing sector of Yunnan Province, China. Specifically, organization culture is taken as a moderating factor extracted from situational theory and has been highlighted as important in previous organizational research. This study aimed at investigating the impact of transactional leadership on IT\u2013business process alignment and studying the moderating effect of organizational culture on the relationship between transactional leadership and IT\u2013business process alignment. The empirical findings reveal that contingent reward and management by exception behaviors of entrepreneurs are significant drivers of IT\u2013business process alignment. Furthermore, market culture had a moderating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurs\u2019 transactional behaviors and IT\u2013business process alignment. Similarly, hierarchy culture exerts a moderating effect on the path between contingent rewarding behavior and IT\u2013business process alignment. Here, it exerts an insignificant moderating effect on the management by exception behavior and IT\u2013business process alignment path. The study findings mainly reveal the association of transactional leadership with IT\u2013business process alignment, along with the moderating role of organizational culture. This study contributes to the literature on business knowledge by showcasing empirical evidence\u2014how information processing aids entrepreneurial behavior to capture market opportunities and consumer behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info12060237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,31]],"date-time":"2021-05-31T21:42:06Z","timestamp":1622497326000},"page":"237","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["IT Process Alignment in Business Strategy: Examining the Role of Transactional Leadership and Organization Culture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yongming","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management and Economics, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650093, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Toseef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management and Economics, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650093, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingmei","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Management and Economics, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650093, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1108\/eb054620","article-title":"Can you align IT with business strategy?","volume":"26","author":"Bruce","year":"1998","journal-title":"Strategy Leadersh."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Ward, J., Griffiths, P., and Whitmore, P.
