Abstract

This study examines the perceived level of OA of Malaysia's IT-based business organisations. Quantitative method research has been employed in this research and was conducted throughout Malaysia with a total of 250 valid questionnaires obtained from managers and executives of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status companies. Using the statistical software SPSS version 28.0, the mean, standard deviation, minimum value and maximum value of each indicator were examined. It was discovered that all mean values for indicators were above the mid-point value, indicating the acceptable value from the respondents.
