Identification of heavy work investment antecedents: a research on digital leadership

The research findings reveal that digital leadership has positive effects on employees' job performance, job satisfaction and career satisfaction and that HWI plays a partial mediating role in this process. It is noteworthy that while WI is found to be a strengthening factor in this relationship, the effect of TC on job satisfaction and career satisfaction is not significant. This suggests that TC may lead to negative consequences such as burnout and stress instead of increasing employees' motivation and performance. Moreover, practices that increase employee engagement in the digital transformation process appear to play a critical role in maintaining organizational efficiency and employee well-being in the long run. While the findings are in line with the existing literature, they suggest that a deeper understanding of the interaction dynamics between digital leadership and HWI is needed.
