Bridging the Digital Divide: Improving the Leadership Quality of Women Politicians through Digital Literacy
Keywords:
Leadership, Quality, Women, Politicians, Digital, LiteracyAbstract
This research explores the importance of digital literacy in improving the leadership quality of female politicians in the ever-evolving digital era. Using a qualitative research method with a literature study approach, this research identifies challenges, benefits, and strategies for improving the digital literacy of female politicians. The research findings show that digital literacy significantly impacts women politicians' ability to communicate, interact with constituents, and influence policy. While this research makes an important contribution to understanding the role of digital literacy in the context of women politicians' leadership, some limitations, such as the limited number of respondents and the specific focus of the research, need to be addressed. Recommendations for future research include involving more respondents from various political and geographical backgrounds and adopting a more comprehensive approach to deepen understanding of the relationship between digital literacy and women's political leadership.
