<![CDATA[This research aims to analyse the role of digital competence in mediating the influence of transformational leadership on teacher performance in the digital era. The study was conducted in Samarinda City with a quantitative approach and path analysis method using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of the analysis showed that transformational leadership had a significant effect on digital competence (β = 0.672, p < 0.001) and teacher performance (β = 0.538, p < 0.001), both directly and indirectly. After including digital competence as a mediating variable, the direct influence of leadership on performance decreased to β = 0.285, with an indirect effect of β = 0.413 and a Variance Accounted For (VAF) value of 52.8%, indicating the existence of partial mediation. These findings confirm that digital competence is an important mechanism that bridges the relationship between transformational leadership and teacher performance. Therefore, the integration of transformational leadership development strategies with digital competency training is the key to improving the quality of education in the digital era.]]>
