The study aims to identify the impact of organizational culture as a moderating variable in the relationship between risk management and the performance of information technology projects in the Libyan Ministry of Higher Education. The study followed the descriptive analytical approach, and used the statistical packages SPSS and AMOS to analyse the data and identify the impact of variables. The study sample amounted to 269 male and female employees in the Ministry of Higher Education. The study concluded that organizational culture plays a moderating role in the relationship between risk management and information technology projects in its four dimensions represented by the time dimension, project scope, project time, project quality, and project benefits. The study recommended enhancing the use of effective risk management in technology projects to achieve better performance and reduce potential risks, as well as implementing training and development programs to enhance positive organizational culture and ensure its integration into the structure of institutions within the ministry to improve the performance of its projects.
