THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL LEADERSHIP AND ONLINE TRAINING ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN REMOTE WORK AREAS

Abstract

The digitalization era has fundamentally transformed organizational work practices, particularly through the increasing adoption of remote work and digital technologies. These changes require organizations to strengthen digital leadership and provide continuous online training to ensure optimal employee performance. This study aims to examine the influence of digital leadership and online training on employee performance in remote work areas. This research employed a quantitative approach using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms to respondents who met the predetermined research criteria, and the data collection process was conducted under the supervision of the researcher to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the responses. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that digital leadership and online training have positive and significant effects on employee performance, both partially and simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.554, indicating that digital leadership and online training jointly explain 55.4% of the variation in employee performance, while the remaining 44.6% is explained by other variables not included in this study. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening digital leadership capabilities and implementing continuous online training programs to enhance employee performance in remote work environments
