The main purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of work participation in the relationship between digital leadership and innovative behavior with organizational agility in education. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included all principals and deputies of girls' schools in District 2 of Kermanshah city, totaling 219 individuals, all of whom were selected as the statistical sample by the census method due to the limited population. However, 208 individuals responded to the questionnaires. Four questionnaires were used to collect data: A: Organizational Agility Questionnaire, B: Digital Leadership Questionnaire, C: Innovative Behavior Questionnaire, and D: Work Engagement Questionnaire.To analyze the data, the structural equation modeling method was used with PLS software version 4. The findings showed that the effect of innovative behavior on organizational agility is positive and significant. Digital leadership has a positive and significant effect on work engagement. The effect of innovative behavior on work participation is positive and significant. The effect of digital leadership on organizational agility is not significant. The effect of work participation on organizational agility is not significant. The mediating role of work participation is not significant. It is concluded that although the theoretical model had a good fit, the mediation hypothesis was not confirmed by the work participation variable. These findings show that although the overall structure of relationships is valid, the predicted mechanism for the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable needs to be revised in this study.
