Digital Leadership and Innovation Mediated by Employees’ Satisfaction: A Recovery Strategy after the Pandemic
Abstract
Due to the pandemic, organizations were forced to be acute in their crisis management strategies by seeking innovation. However, managers faced innovation problems due to social distancing, a lack of leadership, and increased employee dissatisfaction. Confronting those challenges implies direct actions. Therefore, digital leadership is a lever of satisfaction and innovation. Digital leadership and innovation are among the avenues to be explored. This article aims to broaden knowledge of the four innovation types. The objective is to assess the relationship between digital leadership, employee satisfaction, and four types of innovation, respectively. It gauges employees’ satisfaction as a mediating variable. A questionnaire is a statistical tool for the EFA and CFA. The exploratory factor analysis is conducted on 283 users ensuring factor structure validity and scale. Scales were subject to normality tests. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the results. Results showed positive relationships between digital leadership, employee satisfaction, and innovation. This relationship is even significant when employees perceive managerial support.
