Chapter Chapter 5 in Employee Uncertainty Over Digital Transformation, 2024, pp 189-208 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Digital transformation (DX) is fundamentally a human-driven endeavor. Drawing upon this perspective, this chapter delves into the theoretical and practical implications of the findings obtained in the current monograph, with a particular focus on the pivotal role played by transformational leadership (TFL) in navigating the complex, multifaceted landscape of DX. It elucidates the skills required for TFL leaders, explicating the difficulties associated with identifying and nurturing such leaders. Three distinct approaches to procuring digitally skilled leaders, each with a unique set of advantages and disadvantages, are also outlined. Additionally, this chapter underscores the unique capability of TFL leaders to reframe arduous DX-induced challenges as opportunities for growth. As a future direction, the potential and challenges of a “hybrid” approach that integrates various leadership styles are contemplated. Furthermore, this chapter problematizes the concept of job performance vis-à-vis the uncertainty level of a given DX environment to delineate a future research agenda. Limitations of the current research are clarified to encourage future studies to critique and build upon the obtained findings to develop theories that guide leaders across diverse sectors toward successful DX initiatives.
