Digital Leadership Impact on Teacher Innovation in Higher Vocational Colleges: The Intermediary Role of the Organizational Innovation Climate
Keywords:
Digital Leadership; Teacher Innovative; Organizational Innovation Climate; Higher Vocational CollegeAbstract
Teachers' innovative serves as a continuous driving force in educational reform and acts as a crucial institutional safeguard for promoting educational modernization. 450 teachers from higher vocational colleges in China answered a questionnaire, aiming to systematically explore the relationship between digital leadership and teachers' innovative behavior, while also examining the mediating effects of the organizational innovation climate. Through structural equation modeling analysis, three primary findings emerged: (1) Digital leadership has a statistically significant positive predictive effect on teachers' innovative behavior; (2) The organizational innovation climate partially mediates this relationship; (3) The moderated mediation model accounts for the total variance in innovative behavioral outcomes. These findings elucidate the mechanisms through which digital leadership influences teachers’ innovative behavior and provide an empirical foundation for developing targeted intervention strategies. This study contributes to the educational management literature by expanding the theoretical understanding of these dynamics.
