Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between digital transformational leadership (DTL) and innovation capability (IIC) in multinational (MNC) firms’ settings. The current study emphasises the mediating-moderating impact of symmetrical internal communication (SIC) and trust in leadership (TIL) in further shaping this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

The researchers adopted three-wave data consisting of responses from 323 cross-border team members working in MNC firms. A moderated-mediation model was tested using Hynes’ Process Macro and IBM Amos.

Findings

The empirical findings underscore a positive relationship between DTL and IIC and the mediation by SIC. Furthermore, the researchers also identified a moderated mediation relationship of TIL.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the moderated mediation relationship among DTL, SIC, IIC and TIL using the complexity leadership theory perspective.

数字化变革型领导力、对称内部沟通与创新能力之间的联系：调节中介模型

本研究旨在探讨跨国公司中数字化变革型领导力（DTL）与创新能力（IIC）之间的关系。本研究强调对称内部沟通（SIC）和对领导的信任（TIL）在进一步塑造这一关系中的中介调节作用。研究人员采用了三波数据，包括在跨国公司工作的 323 名跨境团队成员的回复。研究结果实证研究结果表明，DTL 与 IIC 之间存在正相关关系，而 SIC 则起中介作用。此外，研究人员还发现了 TIL 的调节中介关系。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是第一项从复杂性领导理论的角度研究 DTL、SIC、IIC 和 TIL 之间调节中介关系的研究。
