Abstract

The purpose is to explore the role of digital leadership and knowledge management in influencing the organizational performance with mediation of the innovation capability and moderation of the organizational agility.

Design, methodology, and approach: The data were gathered from 463 managerial and professional employees of the organizations of Pakistan by three wave time lagged survey design. The proposed hypotheses were tested using partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).

Results: The findings revealed that digital leadership and knowledge management are significant in improving innovation capability and in turn the performance of the organization. Innovation capability plays a strong mediating role between both relationships, and organizational agility positively moderates the innovation capability – performance relationship. The study combines two theories—Resource Based View and Dynamic Capability Theory—to understand the contribution of the strategic resources and the organizational capabilities in achieving superior organizational performance in emerging economies.
