Abstract

This study explores the relationship between digital leadership (DLR), visionary leadership (VSL), and knowledge sharing (KNS) among healthcare professionals in Pakistan, focusing on the mediating role of digital citizenship behavior (DCZ). As leadership becomes increasingly crucial for promoting knowledge sharing in healthcare, understanding how DLR and VSL facilitate this behavior particularly through digital citizenship is essential. A quantitative approach was employed, gathering data from 202 healthcare professionals via a structured questionnaire assessing DLR, VSL, DCZ, and KNS. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships and test the mediating effect of DCZ. Findings reveal significant positive relationships between both DLR and VSL with KNS. Notably, DCZ partially mediates the relationship between DLR and KNS, with a stronger mediation effect observed in this context. In the VSL-KNS relationship, DCZ’s mediation was confirmed and indicating partial mediation. These results underscore the importance of fostering digital citizenship behaviors to enhance knowledge sharing, providing valuable insights for leadership development programs aimed at improving organizational performance in healthcare settings.
