Abstract

Although leadership is critical for overcoming the challenges of digital technologies (DTs), their mutual relationships remain poorly understood. By reviewing 257 peer-reviewed articles, this study builds on adaptive structuration theory (AST) and institutional logics to identify six different relationships among leadership, DTs, and institutional properties: 1) the influence of DTs on leadership displays; 2) the influence of leadership on DTs' design and appropriation; 3) the influence of institutional properties on leadership displays; 4) the impact of institutional properties on DT-related choices; 5) the role of leadership in transforming organizations and their institutional properties; and 6) the influence of DTs on institutional properties. This study demonstrates that AST and institutional logics can foster a comprehensive understanding of the broad and sometimes contradictory findings of research on leadership and DTs. We propose a conceptual model to guide future studies.
