Description:
The topic of this review article is digital leadership in higher education. The practice of effective digital leadership in higher education is needed to keep up with changing demands and opportunities. Yet limited knowledge exists of how it is defined, how it operates and relates to institutional leadership, including both administration and teaching. This article systematically reviews empirical studies on digital leadership in higher education between 1999 and 2022, its value, focus and the research methods involved. The review concerns 36 studies. The authors claim that definitions and theories of digital leadership are varied in scope and how far they are considered in the reviewed studies. Functional rather than critical perspectives predominate. The review recommends a digital leadership research maturity framework and further research on theoretical definitions and digitalization to address gaps in the literature identified in the review..
