Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership on the adaptive ability of education personnel by considering motivation and administrative digitalization as mediation variables. The background of this research is based on the importance of adaptive ability in dealing with rapid changes in the university environment, especially in the current digital era. The problem raised is whether transformational leadership is able to improve the adaptive ability of education personnel through increasing motivation and implementing administrative digitalization. The research method used was a survey through a questionnaire of 34 education staff of Pekalongan University which was taken by accidental sampling, while for data analysis using SEM-PLS which was processed using the Smart PLS application. The results showed that transformational leadership had a positive and significant effect on motivation and digitization of administration, but did not have a significant effect on adaptive ability, and the two mediating variables were also unable to bridge these influences significantly. Thus, it can be concluded that although transformational leadership can improve the motivational aspect and digitalization of administration, it does not directly or indirectly have a significant impact on improving adaptive skills. These findings imply the need for an additional, more specific approach to develop the adaptive abilities of educators in the face of organizational dynamics.
