The Impact of Tech-Savvy Leadership on Organizational Sustainability: The Mediating Role of Innovation Capability

Abstract

In the digital era, leadership that integrates technological expertise with strategic vision is essential for sustaining organizational performance. This study investigates the impact of Tech-Savvy Leadership on Organizational Sustainability, with Innovation Capability serving as a mediating factor. Data were collected from 250 managers and executives in technology-intensive industries and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and bootstrapping techniques. The results reveal that Tech-Savvy Leadership significantly enhances Innovation Capability, which, in turn, positively influences Organizational Sustainability. Bootstrapping analysis confirms the partial mediation effect, highlighting that the pathway from digital leadership to sustainability operates through innovation. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating technologically competent leaders who can drive innovation to achieve long-term organizational resilience and success.
