This quantitative study with a sample of 375 participants from small and medium enterprises (SME) in the Ad Dakhiliyah region of Oman examines the impact of transformational and transactional leadership styles on E-commerce adoption (ECA). A multi-group (MGA) analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of demographic factors on ECA through leadership styles. Using statistical analyses via SPSS and SmartPLS 4, the study shows significant gender differences in the influence of leadership styles on ECA. In addition, comparisons were made with two other demographic factors — age and leadership position. However, caution should be exercised when generalising beyond the study's focus on the Ad Dakhiliyah region. Despite a comprehensive investigation, the age factor shows an insignificant difference in the impact of transformational and transactional leadership on ECA. This study makes an important contribution to the understanding of leadership dynamics in the digital age in Omani SMEs, highlighting the gender nuances. The integration of robust research models and statistical tools enhances methodological rigour and provides practitioners and future researchers with nuanced perspectives on leadership and technology adoption in the Ad Dakhiliyah region and in the broader context of Omani SMEs. Keywords: Leadership Style, E-commerce Adoption, Technology Adoption, Gender, SME, Oman, SmartPLS.
本定量研究以阿曼 Ad Dakhiliyah 地区中小型企业(SME)的 375 名参与者为样本,探讨了变革型和交易型领导风格对电子商务应用(ECA)的影响。研究人员进行了多组(MGA)分析,以调查人口统计因素通过领导风格对 ECA 的影响。通过使用 SPSS 和 SmartPLS 4 进行统计分析,研究表明在领导风格对 ECA 的影响方面存在显著的性别差异。此外,研究还对另外两个人口统计因素--年龄和领导职位--进行了比较。不过,在超出研究重点 Ad Dakhiliyah 地区的范围进行概括时应谨慎。尽管进行了全面调查,但年龄因素在变革型领导力和交易型领导力对非洲经济委员会的影响方面显示出不明显的差异。本研究为了解阿曼中小型企业数字时代的领导力动态做出了重要贡献,并突出了性别方面的细微差别。本研究整合了强大的研究模型和统计工具,提高了研究方法的严谨性,并为从业人员和未来的研究人员提供了有关 Ad Dakhiliyah 地区以及阿曼中小型企业领导力和技术采用的细微视角。关键词领导风格、电子商务采用、技术采用、性别、中小型企业、阿曼、SmartPLS。
