Learning Agility as a Mediating Factor in the Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Digital Transformation Adaptation

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on digital transformation adaptation, with learning agility as a mediating variable. The research method uses a quantitative approach with data collected through a questionnaire. A total of 70 respondents met the criteria to complete the questionnaire. The results show that transformational leadership has a significant positive impact on digital transformation adaptation and enhances employees' learning agility. Although learning agility plays a mediating role, this study also found that organizational factors, such as culture and work structure, affect the effectiveness of
this mediator. These findings are consistent with previous research showing that transformational leaders can create a supportive learning environment. However, the study also noted research indicating that certain conditions, such as work stress, can hinder employees' ability to learn and adapt. This research provides valuable insights for organizations in designing leadership strategies that support digital adaptation in the era of technological disruption.
