内容提要：本文从企业动态能力理论视角，探讨数字化领导力对组织创新的作用路径与边界条件。通过调研256名中高层企业管理者收集的数据分析，结果表明：数字化领导力对组织创新具有显著促进作用；数字化领导力通过提升数字平台能力进而推动组织创新；环境竞争性不仅正向调节数字化领导力与数字平台能力间的关系，而且还正向调节数字化领导力与组织创新间的关系，即企业外部环境的竞争性越强，数字化领导力对数字平台能力和组织创新的正向作用也越强；环境竞争性对数字平台能力的中介作用具有促进效应，即环境竞争性越强，数字化领导力通过提升数字平台能力对组织创新产生的正向作用也越强。

　　Abstract: Digital transformation gains widespread attention as digital technologies broadly impact various industries. However, there is a lack of sufficient and high-quality research on the relationship and impact of digital leadership and organizational innovation. Based on the dynamic capabilities theory, this paper explores how digital leadership affects organizational innovation by introducing digital platform capabilities and environmental competitiveness.This paper examines the impact of digital leadership on organizational innovation, and validates the mediating role of digital platform capabilities and the moderating role of environmental competitiveness, using empirical data of 256 middle and senior corporate managers in digital industry zones. The findings show that digital leadership can significantly promote and enhance organizational innovation by strengthening digital platform capabilities. Furthermore, environmental competitiveness positively moderates not only the relationship between digital leadership and digital platform capabilities, but also the relationship between digital leadership and organizational innovation. The more competitive the external environment, the stronger the positive effect of digital leadership on digital platform capabilities and organizational innovation. Besides, environmental competitiveness has a positive promoting effect on the mediating role of digital platform capabilities. The more competitive the external environment, the stronger the positive effect of digital leadership on organizational innovation by improving digital platform capabilities.The possible contributions of this paper are as follows. Firstly, it enriches the study of the relationship between digital leadership and organizational innovation. Secondly, it explores a transmission path between digital leadership and organizational innovation, providing an empirical basis for an in-depth analysis of the internal process of digital leadership affecting organizational innovation. Thirdly, it examines the boundary conditions in the process of digital leadership on organizational innovation from the perspective of environmental competitiveness, answering the question of what kind of context is more likely to stimulate the leading role of digital leadership. Therefore, companies should build digital platforms, pay more attention to improving digital platform capabilities, and continuously cultivate, develop and enhance the capabilities through practical measures. At the same time, the possible impact of external environmental factors should constantly be aware.
