“…First, it is found that transformational leadership and digital transformation are positively related. When the literature is reviewed, it is seen that many studies emphasize the importance of leadership for digital transformation, and there is also research examining the relationship between transformational leadership and digital transformation [13,99,100]. Our finding is consistent with these results.…”

As the functioning of firms has been changing, the digital transformation process is becoming inevitable for all firms. Therefore, scholars and managers pay great attention to this topic. However, there are still significant gaps about its human-related antecedents, and existing studies on its effects on firm outcomes have presented contradictory findings. By addressing these gaps in the literature, this study examines the effect of transformational leadership and employee self-efficacy as human-related antecedents of digital transformation and also its impact on firm performance. Data were collected from 305 participants who are managers in the manufacturing sector. The findings indicate that both transformational leadership and employee self-efficacy are positively related to digital transformation. Results also reveal that digital transformation is associated with operational and financial performance, and that environmental uncertainty strengthens its relationship with financial performance. This research, therefore, contributes to digital transformation literature, deepens the current knowledge, and offers novel and comprehensive insight, by addressing the gaps in the literature.

“…The term readiness encompasses awareness, ability, and willingness to digitalize [22], [23]. Although the premise of the DRT seems to provide justifications to assert that digital readiness is likely to influence BPD and possibly performance, there seems to be insufficient empirical evidence linking the two phenomena.…”

The drivers of digitalization and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance have been primarily examined through resource-based theories. Hence, this study presents an alternative perspective based on such organizations' readiness and dynamic capabilities through a conceptual framework. A conceptual framework is developed by drawing upon the digital readiness theory (DRT) along with the dynamic capabilities view (DCV) to propose an integrated framework that posits a set of propositions linking constructs that reflect both digital readiness as well as the dynamic capabilities of an organization as possible drivers of business process digitalization (BPD) and performance. The empirical literature based on the DRT suggests that digital readiness will likely drive BPD and performance. Whereas leveraging the premise of the DCV indicates that the ability to sense opportunities and threats is reflected by strategic foresight. In contrast, the ability to seize and transform is reflected through strategic flexibility. The propositions posit that all three factors influence performance directly and through the mediating effect of BPD. The framework developed in this study may provide clues to practitioners and policymakers related to SME development regarding potential drivers of digitalization and performance. Growing scholarly publications on antecedents of digitalization and the performance of SMEs have focused primarily on resources. The current study offers an alternate perspective by integrating the two theories based on such organizations' readiness and dynamic capabilities.

“…, 2019). Organisational culture is crucial to enable quick adjustments to changes to different skills and technologies in the demand for successful digital transformation (Luu, 2023). Moreover, organisations with better technological capabilities and good organisational culture are less dependent on external pressures for digital transformation (Zhang et al.…”

“…Digital capabilities are an important dynamic capability that can help organisations to identify opportunities to respond to challenges quickly and enhance organisational resilience (Chen et al, 2023), working as a driving force and mechanism for digital transformation (Luu, 2023). These capabilities impel organisations to implement changes to improve or maintain their competitive advantage (Vial, 2019;Zhu et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThis study explores how excellence models can leverage digital transformation on the path to sustainable development in organisations.Design/methodology/approachA survey was used to study the different facets of digital capabilities and their impact on sustainable development success of organisations holding an external recognition from the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM). Partial Least Squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) combined with Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) were used to analyse data.FindingsInternalising excellence practices is decisive in mediating effective digital capabilities to achieve sustainable development. To achieve high levels of sustainable development success, organisations must achieve high levels of excellence practices internalisation, which are much more important than the excellence model external recognition.Research limitations/implicationsThis study addresses essential issues with theoretical and practical value but is limited to a sample of organisations with EFQM recognition in two countries. Future studies should address different organisations and cultural environments.Practical implicationsThe findings are relevant for organisations facing digital transformation and sustainable development challenges. They are essential for managers leveraging digital capabilities to capitalise on practices and processes and achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Organisations can benefit from a multidimensional approach to digital capabilities when struggling against external challenges.Originality/valueThis study closes a research gap regarding the impact of digital capabilities on sustainable development success. It is the first empirical study to combine sufficiency and necessity conditions analyses to explore the mediating role of excellence practices internalisation and one of the first to address digital capabilities from a multidimensional perspective.
