Recent reports from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work warn that the use information and communication technology presents important challenges to employee’s well-being and performance. To resolve such challenges, scholars look towards leaders, which play an important role in shaping employees’ experiences at work. However, it remains unclear how leaders can regulate the effects of technology on employees’ well-being and performance. In addition, scholars increasingly question the adequacy of traditional leadership approaches to deal with these challenges and advance digital leadership as a new leadership style. Nevertheless, reliable scales or empirical tests of digital leadership are virtually nonexistent. To that end, the present project (DIGILEAD) wishes to (1) systematize knowledge on leadership as a regulator of technological job characteristics in the workplace (WP1); (2) construct and (3) test a digital leadership inventory to measure digital leadership in organizations (WP2, WP3) and (4) translate this knowledge to the public and professional sphere (WP4). Through a multidisciplinary approach, methodological advancement and public engagement, the present project contributes to our understanding of how leaders within businesses and organizations in Europe can deal with the challenges resulting from the so-called ‘digitalization’ of the workplace.
