A Literature Review on the Challenges and Strategies of Utilizing Digital Leadership Model in Schools

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the challenges and strategic implications associated with the implementation of the digital leadership paradigm in educational institutions. This study employs a qualitative approach and a literature review as its primary method. The data sources employed in this study were journal articles from Google Scholar, which were then subjected to a meticulous screening process. In the initial phase of the study, 87 articles were identified for further analysis. The application of inclusion criteria resulted in the exclusion of 71 articles. Consequently, 16 articles were identified as the primary data source. The results identified 31 challenges and 25 strategies that are believed to enhance the efficacy of digital leadership models in educational settings. These findings are particularly salient in light of the growing trend of digitalization in education. The implications of this study are twofold: firstly, there is a responsibility to address the identified challenges, and secondly, there is a need to mitigate the tendency of challenges by utilizing the strategies obtained. Given the limitations in data exploration, further research that can expand or develop the concept of digital leadership in schools is highly recommended.
