Background of the Study
Efficient allocation of IT resources is pivotal for enhancing organizational performance. IT resource allocation involves distributing technology assets, including hardware, software, human expertise, and financial resources, to achieve strategic business goals (Eze & Musa, 2024). In the banking sector, proper IT resource allocation supports customer service delivery, improves transaction efficiency, and strengthens data security.
In Katsina State, banks face challenges such as limited budgets, inadequate IT infrastructure, and skill shortages, all of which impact resource allocation. With the increasing reliance on digital banking, the effective utilization of IT resources has become essential for maintaining competitiveness and ensuring customer satisfaction (Usman et al., 2025).
This study investigates how IT resource allocation affects organizational performance in banks within Katsina State, identifying best practices and areas for improvement.
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant investments in IT resources, many banks in Katsina State fail to achieve optimal performance due to poor allocation strategies. Issues such as underutilization of resources, mismatched priorities, and lack of skilled personnel contribute to inefficiencies (Abdullahi & Ahmed, 2023). These problems hinder banks’ ability to innovate and adapt to changing customer demands.
This study aims to analyze the relationship between IT resource allocation and organizational performance, offering insights into effective allocation strategies.
