Abstract Business intelligence is an approach that includes processes and systems to transform raw data into meaningful and useful information that enables effective, systematic, and targeted analysis of an organization and its competitive environment. There is a lot of research on the role of organizational culture in the general field of information technology and information systems, but there is limited studies have focused on the component of business intelligence in organizational culture. This research examines the relationship between business intelligence and organizational culture and the mediating role of organizational commitment in government institutions. A survey is conducted to achieve this goal. The data is collected through a questionnaire on 201 people (25 female and 176 male) of Hakim Sabzevari University and Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences and analyzed using quantitative methods. The type of research is quantitative and correlational, and Petrovich business intelligence questionnaires, Porter's organizational commitment questionnaire, and Dennison's organizational culture evaluation tool are used to collect data. Pearson's correlation test is used to investigate the relationship between business intelligence and organizational performance, and the summary of the results is the correlation coefficient between the variable of business intelligence and organizational culture. In this way, there is a significant but weak positive relationship between the two mentioned variables. In addition, the results of the analysis of the tables show that organizational commitment can create an important difference in the average of business intelligence and organizational culture, which indicates correct decision-making, success, and performance of assigned tasks. Therefore, organizational commitment positively relates to organizational culture and business intelligence. In the end, the researcher gives interesting suggestions for future works.
