다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To identify the core factors that enable digital transformation (DX) in local governments, this study empirically analyzes the relationships among local government heads’ digital leadership (DL), organizational learning culture (OLC), employees’ innovative behavior (IB), and the level of DX. Recent developments in the public sector highlight the limitations of technology-driven approaches and emphasize the need for cultural and behavioral foundations that shape how digital policies are internalized and enacted within organizations. Reflecting this shift, the study proposes and tests a double mediation model in which DL affects DX not only directly but also indirectly through OLC and IB. Using survey data from 426 local government employees in South Korea and analyzed with the PROCESS macro, the findings confirm both the direct influence of DL on DX and the sequential mediating effects of OLC and IB. The results underscore that digital transformation hinges on the integrated alignment of leadership, organizational culture, and behavioral factors. Building on these insights, the study advances theoretical understanding of the structural mechanisms underpinning DX in the public sector and offers practical policy strategies for strengthening implementation capacity in local government settings.
