Abstract
The construction industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, driven by the emergence of construction 4.0 (c4.0), which emphasizes automation, smart technologies, and data-driven processes. In this evolving landscape, organizational agility (oa) has become essential for firms to adapt swiftly to technological disruptions and shifting market demands. Within this context, leadership plays a pivotal role in steering organizations through change. Yet, limited empirical research in developing countries, particularly malaysia, has examined how specific leadership styles interact with digital maturity to drive oa, leaving a critical gap in both theory and practice. This study investigates the influence of three prominent leadership styles transformational, transactional, and servant leadership on oa in malaysia’s construction sector, a key industry currently undergoing digital transformation. Specifically, the study examines the mediating roles of digital maturity (digital capabilities and leadership capabilities), and the moderating effect of coercive pressure. The research is grounded in complexity leadership theory and game theory, providing a robust theoretical framework for understanding dynamic interactions in complex organizational systems. A quantitative approach was adopted, with twenty hypotheses developed and tested. A pre-test involving industry experts and academics ensured the validity of the research instrument. Data were collected from 311 cidb-registered malaysian construction firms engaged in digitalization efforts, using structured surveys. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (pls-sem) was applied for data analysis.
