The Influence of Digital Leadership on Organizational Readiness in Facing Technological Disruption

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has driven disruption across nearly all industrial sectors, demanding organizations to be highly prepared in responding to change. This study aims to examine the role of digital leadership in enhancing organizational readiness to face technological disruption through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. This research identifies conceptual patterns, trends, and research gaps concerning the relationship between digital leadership and organizational readiness. The analysis reveals that digital leadership plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of innovation, driving structural transformation, and strengthening the adoption of strategic technologies. Visionary, collaborative, and adaptive digital leaders are able to communicate transformational visions, manage change, and facilitate continuous organizational learning. Flatter, project-based, and agile organizational structures are considered more responsive to change. This study recommends strengthening digital leadership capabilities as an integral part of organizational strategy. Future research is encouraged to explore empirical contexts across sectors and other contextual variables to deepen the understanding of the dynamics of digital leadership in organizational transformation.
