LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

This academic article aims to examine the concepts of leadership and organizational management in the contemporary era, as well as to analyze the role of leadership in driving organizational success amid rapid economic, social, and technological changes. The study found that organizational management is a crucial process that enables organizations to operate effectively and achieve their goals through key management functions, including planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. Leadership is a significant factor influencing organizational success, as leaders are responsible for setting directions, creating a shared vision, developing human potential, motivating employees, and fostering collaboration within the organization. Furthermore, leaders in the digital era must possess the capability to effectively apply technology and integrate the principles of the Dutiyapāpaṇika Sutta in Buddhist philosophy to promote innovation and cultivating a learning culture to respond effectively to continuous changes. These competencies enhance organizational competitiveness and contribute to sustainable development. Therefore, leadership and organizational management serve as essential mechanisms that enable organizations to adapt to change, optimize resource utilization, and achieve long-term success in the digital era.
