Abstract

The significance of digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially in the time of disruption, is frequently demonstrated by research. Nevertheless, not much consideration is placed on how digital transformation is experienced by SMEs. This study examines how SME digital transformation will be affected by CEOs’ digital literacy from a micro-foundation viewpoint. Utilizing survey data from 292 SMEs located in Indonesia, we evaluate a moderated mediation model. According to our research, CEOs’ digital literacy affects digital transformation through digital technology utilization. Additionally, CEOs’ gender further influence the association between CEOs’ digital literacy and digital technology utilization. Our work is among initial endeavors to assess the digital transformation among SMEs in an emerging nation such as Indonesia. Despite the urgent need for SMEs to digitally transform and the importance of CEOs’ digital capabilities in accelerating this process, none of the identified existing studies examines SME digital transformation from a micro-foundation perspective, specifically on the link between CEOs’ digital literacy and digital transformation and how digital technology utilization mediates this link, which makes this study unique.

首席执行官的数字素养对印度尼西亚中小企业数字化转型的影响

数字化转型对中小型企业（SMEs）的意义，尤其是在混乱时期的意义，经常被研究证明。然而，关于中小企业如何体验数字化转型的考虑却不多。本研究从微观基础的角度探讨了首席执行官的数字素养将如何影响中小企业的数字化转型。利用来自印度尼西亚 292 家中小企业的调查数据，我们对调节中介模型进行了评估。根据我们的研究，首席执行官的数字素养会通过数字技术的利用来影响数字化转型。此外，CEO 的性别也会进一步影响 CEO 数字素养与数字技术利用率之间的关联。我们的研究是评估印尼这样一个新兴国家中小企业数字化转型的初步尝试之一。尽管中小型企业迫切需要进行数字化转型，而且首席执行官的数字化能力在加速这一进程中非常重要，但现有的研究都没有从微观基础的角度研究中小型企业的数字化转型，特别是首席执行官的数字素养与数字化转型之间的联系，以及数字技术的利用如何促进这一联系，这使得本研究具有独特性。
