Abstract

Purpose of the study: The rapid advancement of digital technology demands strong digital competence, particularly among civil servants in educational institutions. This study aims to examine the influence of digital competence on civil servants’ performance, investigating both direct effects and indirect pathways through employee engagement and interpersonal communication. Methodology: A quantitative survey method was employed involving 150 civil servants working in public educational institutions in Riau, Indonesia. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Main Findings: The results indicate that digital competence has a significant positive impact on performance, both directly and indirectly. Employee engagement and interpersonal communication serve as effective mediators that enhance the relationship between digital competence and performance. The findings suggest that civil servants who possess strong digital skills, coupled with high engagement and effective interpersonal communication, demonstrate better job performance. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a novel contribution by integrating psychological (employee engagement) and relational (interpersonal communication) dimensions as mediators in the relationship between digital competence and performance. While previous studies have focused mainly on technological aspects, this research highlights the importance of human and social factors in driving performance in digitally transforming institutions. The implication of these findings points to the need for a more holistic approach to digital transformation policies in the public sector, where capacity building should not only address technical skills but also foster engagement and communication abilities among employees.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of leadership and communication effectiveness on employee performance in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Using multiple regression analysis, the findings indicate that both leadership and communication positively and significantly influence employee performance, with leadership being the strongest predictor. Together, these variables explain 61.5% of the variance in employee performance. The results emphasize the importance of effective leadership and communication within the informal and interpersonal contexts common in MSMEs. Grounded in transformational leadership theory and supported by recent studies, this research highlights the need for MSMEs to develop adaptive leadership styles and improve internal communication to enhance productivity and sustainability. The findings offer practical insights for MSME managers and policymakers focused on strengthening human capital and organizational performance, particularly in regions such as Garut.

Abstract

This systematic literature review critically synthesizes the expanding body of scholarship on critical leadership, focusing on power dynamics, ideological critique, social justice, and transformative practices within organizational and community contexts. Moving beyond traditional leadership paradigms that emphasize individual traits and hierarchical effectiveness, critical leadership theory interrogates leadership as a contested socio-political process embedded in structures of power and domination. This review maps key theoretical frameworks, methodological trends, and empirical applications spanning indigenous governance, educational reform, grassroots activism, and corporate sustainability. The analysis reveals enduring tensions between transformative aspirations and institutional constraints, highlighting the complex interplay of identity, discourse, and collective agency. Notably, the review identifies significant gaps in geographic representation, methodological pluralism, and thematic coverage, particularly in crisis leadership, media discourse, and intersectional minority experiences. Emerging opportunities call for integrative, context-sensitive, and interdisciplinary approaches that enhance critical leadership’s capacity to address systemic inequities and foster emancipatory social change. By offering a comprehensive synthesis of conceptual, empirical, and methodological insights, this review advances theoretical clarity and practical relevance, positioning critical leadership as a vital framework for ethical and socially responsive leadership in an increasingly complex global landscape.

Abstract

Digital transformation and the VUCA business environment have created a demand for adaptive leadership models among Indonesian startups. While research on agile leadership has developed significantly globally, there remains a lack of integrated models that accommodate local cultural values in the context of early-stage startups in developing countries. This study aims to develop a contextual agile leadership integration model for Indonesian startups through a systematic literature review. Using the SPAR-4-SLR approach, we analyzed 82 high-quality articles from the Scopus database (2018-2025) through a combination of bibliometric and thematic methods. Results indicate a significant increase in post-pandemic publications with a terminological shift from adaptive leadership to agile leadership. Relational (41%) and execution agility (33%) emerged as dominant components, while implementation was most prevalent in technology and education sectors. Significant research gaps were identified, including minimal contextual models for Indonesian startups (only 6.7% of articles) and insufficient integration of local cultural values. The developed model provides a multi-dimensional framework that accommodates early-stage startup characteristics, Indonesian cultural values such as musyawarah and gotong royong, and phased implementation pathways. Theoretically, this model contributes to the development of leadership contingency theory in developing economy contexts. Practically, it offers concrete guidance for startup founders to adapt agile leadership practices according to business development stages, facilitating more effective product-market validation and adaptive strategic pivoting.

Abstract

Digital leadership is increasingly recognized as a strategic capability essential for guiding organizations through rapid technological transformation. It is particularly associated with enhanced agility, performance, and the integration of emerging technologies across sectors such as SMEs, manufacturing, education, and public administration. Despite growing interest, existing literature remains fragmented and lacks a coherent synthesis that reflects the multidimensional role of digital leadership across varying organizational and contextual settings. Moreover, limited attention has been given to the mechanisms through which digital leadership drives innovation under diverse ecological, geographic, and structural conditions. To address this gap, we conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the SPAR-4-SLR framework, analyzing 43 peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025. Through thematic synthesis, bibliometric mapping, and theoretical classification, we identify key patterns, conceptual structures, and research trends. The findings highlight the dominance of Dynamic Capability Theory (DCT) and Resource-Based View (RBV), with survey-based SEM methodologies prevailing. Notable gaps include conceptual ambiguity, methodological uniformity, and limited longitudinal and cross-cultural insights. This review offers a future research agenda grounded in the Theory–Context–Method (TCM) framework, advocating for broader theoretical integration and contextual diversity to better understand digital leadership’s role in fostering sustainable innovation.
