The selective, axial, and open codes that emerged during the data analysis of statements indicating climate and associated with digital transformation align with the definition of climate in organizations. The coding process revealed twelve open codes as presented in Table 2, that according to the interview analyses, serve as enablers of organizational digital climate. \begin{table}

**Open Code** & **Repetitions** & **Definition** & **Example Quote** \\ \hline \multirow{6}{*}{Connectivity Standardization} & \multirow{6}{*}{35} & Standardized connectivity across various networks and applications aids user communication, collaboration, and assists employees in fulfilling management’s expectations for the use of cross-organizational digital technologies. & “I get that the managers want me to use all the different systems and data from the different units and collaborate digitally. But honestly, it’s impossible because our organization’s networks and systems don’t connect since they’re all set up differently.” \\ \hline \multirow{6}{*}{Connectivity Architecture} & \multirow{6}{*}{12} & Integration of networks and applications bolsters employees’ belief in digital technologies as facilitators of cross-organizational processes. & “I am in charge of the entire field of architecture that develops the infrastructure that enables connectivity, data extraction, and other digital capabilities. I believe connectivity architecture is the key to fostering collaboration and maximizing organizational effectiveness.” \\ \hline \multirow{6}{*}{Networks Interconnection} & \multirow{6}{*}{11} & The link of various carriers’ networks to permit data exchange within an organization improves managers’ capacity to encourage employee collaboration and usage of digital solutions. & “My managers encourage me to strive for data usage synchronization and coherence, but the organization’s investments in this area are insufficient. The large number of networks we operate on and their lack of interconnection are, in my opinion, the largest gaps.” \\ \cline{1-1}  & \multirow{6}{*}{4 Infrastructure} & Unlimited computation, storage resources, and application as services align with employee expectations for connectivity and data sharing within the organization. & “As an employee of the organization, I anticipate that the use of cloud technologies in a variety of technological projects will enable disruptions in the technological world, for instance, by fostering connectivity between experts, developers, etc.” \\ \cline{1-1}  & & & \\ \cline{1-1}  & & & \\ \cline{1-1}  & & & \\ \cline{1-1}  & & & \\ \cline{1-1}  & & & \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}

Table 2: Open codes that serve as digital climate enablers. The results in Table 2 indicate that digital climate is associated with managers' encouraging employees to use data for complex problem-solving to reach appropriate solutions, and employees' motivation to adopt digital solutions with an emphasis on data-wide usages, such as data sharing, data transparency, data mining, and data-driven operations, thereby increasing the potential of the digital transformation initiative. According to the participants' perceptions, they are expected to use data, and therefore the organization invests in digital infrastructure to enable data usage. For example, in the context of data extraction: \"My organization invests a lot in infrastructure that will enable the extraction of data because we have reached a glass ceiling, which is impossible to break without extracting data.\"  
The analysis results highlight the essential role of digital infrastructure as an enabler of digital climate and included three axial codes: Connectivity, data lake, and common technological language. In order to establish core categories and sub-categories, the process of identifying, labeling, and arranging categories that began during the initial open coding continued during axial coding.
