Business Intelligence and Employee Performance in Jordanian Organizations: A Conceptual Analysis of Information Quality and Organizational Learning

Abstract

The growing volume and complexity of data pose challenges for decision-making in Jordanian organizations. This study examines how business intelligence (BI), understood as the collection, analysis, and presentation of data to support decisions, may contribute to employee performance. Using a conceptual approach, it considers how more accurate and reliable information can help employees make better-informed decisions and reduce operational errors. It also discusses how BI can support skills development, improve training effectiveness, and contribute to job satisfaction.

The study argues that integrating BI into everyday work can foster organizational learning by helping employees use data to identify problems and adapt their practices as technology changes. It concludes that the contribution of BI to individual and organizational performance depends on the quality of the information it provides and how that information is used in work and training. In the Jordanian context, these mechanisms may help organizations sustain performance improvements and strengthen their competitive position.

Keywords — Business intelligence, employee performance, information quality, organizational learning, Jordan.
