    Today, every firm and organization must digitally transform in order to survive and deal with increasing competition and dynamic market conditions. Digital transformation is not easy to achieve, and many factors play an important role in the successful digital transformation of firms. Leaders' leadership styles and characteristics play a crucial role in digital transformation. This study examines the effects of generative leadership and digital literacy of executive management on the digital maturity of micro and small firms based on the Upper Echelons Theory. Sub-dimensions of digital maturity are also considered and searched to provide a more detailed analysis. The research utilized a survey method and was conducted with 121 upper, middle, and first-line managers of 93 micro and small-size firms operating in the Marmara Region of Turkey. Frequency, factor, regression, and validity and reliability analyses through the SPSS package program were used. The results are two folds. First, generative leadership and digital literacy of executive management help flourish digital maturity when searched independently. Second, the study results indicate that the digital literacy of executive managers has a mediating effect on the relationship between generative leadership and digital maturity. Furthermore, the study proves the mediating effect on digital maturity's technological, strategic, and cultural maturity sub-dimensions. With these findings in micro and small businesses, the study comprehensively contributes to the current knowledge in this domain. (C)CIKD Publishing

    (Sage Publications Inc, 2024) Calli, Busra Alma; Ozsahin, Mehtap; Coskun, Erman
    This study aims to examine the managerial and organizational factors affecting ICT adoption in SMEs, and the link between ICT adoption level and firm performance. In this context, a survey was performed with owners, top-level managers, middle-level managers, and first-line managers of SMEs. The study was carried out in three phases. First, after assessing the ICT adoption level for each participating SME, the effect of owner and manager-related characteristics and organizational attributes on the level of ICT adoption was examined. Second, an analysis was performed to find out if there is a relationship between ICT adoption levels and organizational innovation types. Finally, the effect of ICT adoption level on firm performance and the mediating effect of organizational innovativeness types on this link were investigated. Data obtained from 393 owners and managers of 203 SMEs were analyzed through SPSS. Analysis results show that the owner's/manager's education level and awareness of the benefit of ICT are positively related to ICT adoption level. In contrast, awareness of the costs of ICT is negatively related to ICT adoption in SMEs. Moreover, the results reveal that internal integration and strategic integration level ICT adoption on firm performance is mediated by organizational innovativeness. These findings stand to help SMEs strategically plan their ICT adoption phases based on their organizational needs.
