The Impact of Digital Leadership on Enhancing Water Resource Management Efficiency: A Case Study of NIA-UPRIIS Division II
Abstract
This study investigates the role of digital leadership in enhancing water resource management efficiency at the National Irrigation Administration-Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation Systems (NIA-UPRIIS) Division II in the Philippines. Employing a case study approach with descriptive and inferential statistical methods, the research evaluates stakeholder perceptions across six key thematic areas of digital leadership: Strategic Vision & Leadership, Technology Adoption & Utilization, Operational Efficiency & Productivity, Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration, Capacity Building & Digital Skills Development, and Data-Driven Decision-Making & Innovation. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with Likert-scale items from a diverse sample of operations staff, engineering personnel, equipment operators, Irrigators Development Unit (IDU) staff and officers, managers, and division/unit heads. Descriptive statistics provided an overview of perceptions, while the Kruskal-Wallis H test assessed significant differences among functional groups. Thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data from open-ended questions to provide deeper contextual insights. The findings aim to offer evidence-based recommendations for NIA-UPRIIS policymakers and management, highlighting the benefits and challenges of digital transformation in irrigation management and emphasizing the importance of capacity building for a more efficient and sustainable system.
