“…Thirdly, this study provides significant evidence that digital capabilities may act as a buffer to help convey the leadership's aspirations and capabilities to DT by fostering the organisation's digital capabilities, including human, collaboration, technical and innovation capabilities. DT may impact employees, structures, tasks and organisational procedures (Schnasse et al ., 2021). The competitiveness of businesses depends not only on the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies but also on how well they address additional fields, such as interactions with customers and partners, the modification of organisational routines and the development of an appropriate organisational culture (Loebbecke and Picot, 2015; Trenerry et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the logic between digital transformation and export performance by analysing a large sample of Vietnamese exporters. The theoretical model is further extended by investigating the driving role of digital transformational leadership and mediating effects of firm digital capabilities and employee exploration and exploitation innovation.Design/methodology/approachThe study sample comprised 364 middle managers at 107 export firms in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The data are analysed using a partial least square-structural equation model (PLS-SEM).FindingsDigital transformation may be an indispensable tool for enhancing the export performance of businesses. Moreover, digital transformational leadership may drive digital transformation through the mediating mechanisms of firm digital capabilities and employee exploration and exploitation innovations to achieve high export performance.Originality/valueThis initial study contributes significantly to international business theory through the lens of dynamic capabilities theory, which reveals the role of digital transformation in export performance via mechanisms of digital transformational leadership, firm digital capabilities and employee exploration and exploitation innovation.

“…Being technologically deficient, few of them failed in shifting to the new efficient and effective methods of achieving the goals while others took advantage of technological advancement and increased their organization's growth (Korman and Mujtaba, 2020;Hai et al, 2021a, b) and their employees' productivity at the same time. Therefore, appropriate leadership behavior is seminal along with necessary digital competency to lead and promote a progressive and facilitating digital structure and culture and help employees in adapting to the innovative digital tools and process (Abbu et al, 2022;Schnasse et al, 2021).…”

“…The leaders who immediately shifted to the digital transformation with the help of the government, increased their employees' morale and self-efficacy as well as their work performance, which helped organizations stay viable during economic downturn (Anand et al ., 2020; Haffar et al ., 2023). This period of uncertainty improvised the role of a leader, responsible for leading digitally, by providing organizational members with the vision and the directions towards the goals irrespective of their location and also managing the risks and removing the obstacles that may arise (Abbu et al ., 2022; Schnasse et al ., 2021; Trenerry et al ., 2021). To thrive in the digital age, today's leaders must understand digital leadership along with its own profile that includes specific traits, behaviors and talents (Abbu et al ., 2022; Schnasse et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeThe importance of modeling digital leadership in quickly digitizing countries, like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is inevitable for building leadership capabilities to lead, engage and motivate remote employees in the digital environment. Using Blake and Mouton Grid, the current study examines the behavioral approach used by the leaders from both public and private sectors while managing their workforce digitally in the period of the pandemic, when 70% of the workforce worked remotely for the first-time in the region.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was conducted by the managerial employees working in different firms using self-administered questionnaires and adopting the snowball sampling technique. In total, 476 respondents participated in the study from both the Emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.FindingsThe analysis using IBM SPSS and Smart PLS software reported that 9 out of 10 leaders positioned their digital leadership style well above the middle-of-the-road management style (5,5) oriented towards team management (9,9); with 7 out of 9 displaying high team management leadership style, while managing remote workers. However, millennials displayed higher task orientation when compared to generation-x leaders, who concentrated more on their relations with the workers.Practical implicationsThe findings have implications for practitioners in technology driven regions. Also the results highlighting the task-oriented approach of millennials digital leaders have implication for owners and board of directors of the firms that seniority is not the only credible approach for leadership positions.Originality/valueThe study reveals the behavioral styles beneficial for digital leaders to develop their leadership capabilities and increase their effectiveness while managing the workforce digitally. Black Mountain Grid and its two-dimensional leadership matrix has been found to be a useful conceptual approach for understanding digital leadership behaviors, and based on study findings, recommendations have been provided to effectively improve its utilization for leading teams. The findings have implications for practitioners in technology driven regions as well as digital leadership field scholars.
