In Jordan’s banking sector, organizations face the dual challenge of stability and innovation. Achieving this balance requires a deep grasp of leveraging capabilities for existing opportunities and exploring new ones. The key lies at the intersection of business intelligence and organizational ambidexterity. Therefore, this study has investigated the relationship between business intelligence and organizational ambidexterity within the Jordanian banking sector. It examined the impact of managerial, technical, and cultural competencies of business intelligence on organizational ambidexterity in Jordanian commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. The quantitative study involved 449 bank employees. The data were gathered via a questionnaire, and the responses were analyzed using R language version 4.2.2. The results indicated that managerial competencies (z = 8.26, p = 0.000) and technical competencies (z = 4.09, p = 0.000) exhibit statistically significant positive direct effects on organizational ambidexterity. Additionally, cultural competencies were found to have a statistically significant direct effect on organizational ambidexterity (z = 2.083, p = 0.037). Managerial, technical, and cultural business intelligence competencies play crucial roles in the adoption of organizational ambidexterity among Jordanian commercial banks. Achieving organizational ambidexterity necessitates integrating these competencies with organizational capabilities.
