It is possible to define digital leadership as a type of leadership that is informed about digital
technologies that help the digital transformation of employees and businesses and is also fed
by modern leadership theories. The concept of digital leadership has come to the fore,
particularly with Industry 4.0. Digital leadership is seen as an element that positively affects
organizational culture and helps the development of the organization. Following the Covid-19
pandemic, businesses have experienced a considerable digital transformation, and it has been
realized that digital leadership is now inevitable for businesses. Digital transformation is
expected to contribute to the productivity and production of enterprises. The present study
focused on the ability of digital leadership to avoid social loafing, which is negative
organizational behavior. In particular, the extent to which job performance losses caused by
social loafing were moderated by digital leadership was measured. In this regard, questionnaire
forms were prepared and sent to 308 people. The collected data were interpreted by means
of the Smart PLS program, and the results were obtained. In this respect, it is found that digital
leadership has a moderating impact on the effect of social loafing on job performance. It is
thought that the source of this effect could be explained in accordance with Social Impact
Theory, Upper Echelon Theory, and Strategic Action Area Theory.
