Abstract

This study investigates the influence of digital leadership and artificial intelligence capabilities on organizational resilience in Jambi Province and examines how both factors interact to shape strategic orchestration in the disruption era. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the research first conducted a survey of 40 leaders and managerial staff from government agencies, universities, and private organizations that have adopted digital systems. This was followed by in-depth interviews with five key informants. Quantitative analysis using multiple linear regression and qualitative thematic analysis reveal that digital leadership significantly enhances organizational resilience through improved adaptability and data-driven decision-making, while AI capabilities strengthen operational efficiency and innovation. The integration of both elements creates more resilient and sustainable organizations. The study contributes conceptually to technology-based organizational resilience theory and offers practical insights for developing digital managerial strategies at the regional level.
