Abstract This study builds mechanism model of how innovation culture affect IT-business alignment through two mediated variable: IT governance and social dimension and compares the path difference between organic and mechanical structure. Using 236 valid questionnaires from northeast China to test the theoretical model, the results show that the innovation culture has not only direct influence on IT-business alignment, but also indirect effects on IT- business alignment through IT governance and social dimensions. In addition, organic and mechanical structure have different influence path. On this basis, this study put forward some countermeasures to improve IT-business alignment.
