Digital leadership is one of the most critical modern management concepts contributing to the development, improvement, and sustainability of organizations in fulfilling their missions and tasks across different goals and classifications. Its primary aim is to create a suitable environment for introducing technological changes into the work environment, addressing the current technological requirements by employing modern technology to enhance and develop work processes and boost the efficiency of employees. This elevates the efficiency of institutions, especially in a time when the use of technology has become a priority amid rapid changes in the organizational environment. However, this paper sheds light on the concepts of digital leadership and its relationship with change readiness in Palestinian higher education institutions in Gaza. It does so by reviewing relevant literature and conducting a study that involves individuals working in these institutions, specifically those holding supervisory positions from 2020 to 2023. The study employs a simple random sample of participants and utilizes the SPSS software to analyze and test hypotheses. The study adopts a descriptive analytical methodology that aligns with its objectives and nature. The primary data collection tool is a questionnaire used to gather, analyze, and process data to reach the desired results. The current study is expected to reveal a positive impact of digital leadership on change readiness in Palestinian higher education institutions in Gaza, serving as a valuable reference for these institutions.
