Digital transformation of organizations: perspectives from digital citizenship and spiritual innovative leadership

Abstract

Digital transformation of organizations is an important issue in recent era. Technologies including the internet are needed to transform traditional business systems into modern ones. Previous research has shown the relationship between digital transformation of organizations and the abilities of leaders and employees to use technologies; however, very little empirical research has focused on their ethical behavior and motivation in using such technologies. In this study, it is believed that both building employee’s awareness as digital citizenships as well as practicing spiritual innovative-leadership are important drivers in triggering digital transformation of organization. This research aims at filling the knowledge gap by offering a discussion on digital transformation of organizations from the perspective of digital citizenship behavior and innovative-spiritual leadership.
