In today's data-driven business landscape, robust metadata and data documentation practices are essential for enterprises aiming to maximize their data assets. When integrated with Business Intelligence (BI) systems, this architecture empowers data democratization, allowing widespread utilization by stakeholders across the organization. This research explores the critical role of metadata in shaping Business Intelligence (BI) systems and organizational effectiveness within today's data-driven business landscape. Through a systematic literature review, a preliminary study, a quantitative survey with 318 responses, and a focus group discussion, the study identifies key metadata components influencing BI systems effectiveness and organizational outcomes. Findings indicate a direct and positive impact of BI systems effectiveness on organizational effectiveness. Certain metadata components exhibit direct positive effects on both BI systems and organizational effectiveness. The research underscores the importance of strategic metadata implementation for enterprises seeking to optimize data-driven decision-making processes. Overall, the study provides practical implications for organizations and contributes valuable insights to the understanding of metadata's role in enhancing enterprise effectiveness.
