Abstract

Transformational leadership is recognized as one of the most effective leadership styles in the context of higher education, especially in improving lecturer engagement and institutional performance. In Southeast Sulawesi, the challenges faced by private universities in implementing this leadership are a major concern, given the importance of the role of lecturers in achieving academic goals. This study identifies a knowledge gap related to the lack of understanding of transformational leadership that can hinder the development of higher education institutions. The methodology used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach, with in-depth interviews with relevant informants in private universities. The findings of this study provide significant implications for the development of leadership theory and practice, as well as offering solutions for institutional leaders in implementing more effective leadership styles to improve the quality of education. This study is expected to be a reference for further studies on transformational leadership in the context of higher education, as well as providing new insights for the development of better management strategies.

Abstract

Digital transformation in public sector organizations requires not only technological adoption but also employees’ active engagement in digitally mediated work. This study examines the effects of technological infrastructure on digital leadership, digital readiness, digital work engagement, and employee performance in public sector organizations. A quantitative explanatory design was employed using survey data from 182 public sector employees. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that technological infrastructure has a strong positive effect on digital leadership, digital readiness, and digital work engagement. However, digital leadership and digital readiness do not directly improve employee performance. Digital work engagement emerges as the strongest predictor of employee performance and the only significant mediator linking technological infrastructure to employee performance. These findings indicate that technological infrastructure generates performance value when it fosters employees’ enthusiasm, focus, dedication, and active involvement in digital work. The study contributes to public sector digital transformation literature by positioning digital work engagement as the central behavioral mechanism through which technological infrastructure is converted into employee performance. Practically, public organizations should move beyond technology provision and design digital work environments that enhance employees’ engagement with digital systems
