Abstract
This study examines how leadership styles and organizational culture influence employee performance amid the rapid growth of the digital economy. The focus is on identifying which leadership approaches and cultural dimensions most effectively foster adaptability, innovation, and productivity. Using a systematic literature review (SLR), the study synthesizes findings from research published between 2021 and 2025, capturing trends in digital transformation and evolving workforce dynamics. Data were drawn from 20 quantitative studies indexed in Google Scholar across various industry sectors. The analysis shows that leadership styles significantly enhance employee engagement, digital skill development, and collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, organizational cultures that promote continuous learning, agility, and open communication strongly support improved performance in technology-driven environments. The discussion underscores the close connection between leadership practices and cultural frameworks in shaping organizational readiness for digital challenges. Overall, the findings highlight that aligning adaptive leadership with an innovation-oriented culture is crucial for sustaining competitive employee performance in the digital economy.
