Abstract: Abstract The rules of the game are changing in organizations due to several digital advances, ecosystems, industries, and fields. Also, the emergence of new institutional infrastructures and complex systems during this period can result in digital transformation (DT). Thus, new institutional theory should be examined to determine how new digitally-enabled institutions emerge, diffuse, and institutionalize within their contexts. The purpose of this study is to use a questionnaire approach to collect and analyze quantitative data (n = 388) to test the model of how digital transformational leadership (DTL) influences DT through organizational agility (OA). The data suggested that OA mediates the relationship between DTL and DT. Furthermore, it sheds light on the crucial role of DTL in DT through OA, demonstrating that alignment of organizational models and evolving OA are critical to DT. Ultimately, this work provides important insights into leadership styles and organization agility in the public sector concerning digital transformation.
