İşletmelerin Dijital Dönüşüm Yolculuğunda Liderlik: Transformasyonel (Dönüşümcü) Liderlikten Dijital Liderliğe

Öz

Teknolojinin getirdiği yenilikler ve gelişmelerle çalışma hayatındaki değişimler işletmeleri yakından etkilemektedir. Günümüzde işletmeler faaliyetlerinde sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak için dijitalleşmeyi iş süreçlerine entegre edebilmesi gerekmektedir. Böylelikle dijitalleşmenin sunduğu fırsat ve gelişmelerle birlikte dijital teknolojileri kullanarak dijital dönüşümü gerçekleştirebilen işletmeler, iş süreçlerinde verimlilik sağlayacak ve uzun dönemde varlığını sürdürecektir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında bugünün işletmeleri, dijital teknolojiyi kullanabilecek, yönetebilecek, yeniliğe ve yaratıcılığa açık, değişimi sağlayabilecek ve dolayısıyla işletmeyi geleceğe taşıyacak liderlere ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Son yıllarda liderlik ile ilgili çalışmalara bakıldığında dijital liderliği kavramsal ya da kuramsal açıdan inceleyen pek çok çalışmanın olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, küresel çapta yaşanan değişim ve gelişmelerin beraberinde getirdiği dijitalleşmenin etkilerini işletmelerin dijital dönüşüm yolculuğunda liderlik bakış açısıyla incelemek ve öneriler getirmektir. Ayrıca dijital liderliğin kuramsal temeline dayandığı düşünülen dönüşümcü liderlik ve dijital liderlik yaklaşımlarının rolünü ilgili yerli ve yabancı literatürde yer alan kaynaklarla incelenerek ve artan önemi nedeniyle dijital liderliğin net çerçevesinin çizilmesini sağlamaktır.

Leadership in the Digital Transformation Journey of Businesses: From Transformational Leadership To Digital Leadership

Abstract

Changes in working life with the innovations and developments brought by technology affect businesses closely. Today, businesses need to be able to integrate digitalization into their business processes to ensure sustainability in their activities. In this way, businesses that can realize digital transformation by using digital technologies together with the opportunities and developments offered by digitalization will ensure efficiency in their business processes and maintain their existence in the long term. From this point of view, today's businesses need leaders who can use and manage digital technology, are open to innovation and creativity, can provide change and therefore carry the business to the future. When we look at the studies on leadership in recent years, it is seen that there are many studies that examine digital leadership from a conceptual or theoretical perspective. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of digitalization brought about by global changes and developments from the perspective of leadership in the digital transformation journey of businesses and to make suggestions. In addition, the role of transformational leadership and digital leadership approaches, which are thought to be based on the theoretical basis of digital leadership, is to be examined with the resources in the relevant domestic and foreign literature and to provide a clear framework of digital leadership due to its increasing importance
