The integration of digital technologies has transformed organizational landscapes globally, compelling a shift in leadership paradigms. This research paper explores the emergent concept of e-leadership and its potential role in addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by Sports Activities Departments within Jordanian Education Directorates. In a context characterized by resource constraints, bureaucratic inertia, and increasing demands for quality extracurricular programming, traditional leadership approaches have proven insufficient. This study employs a qualitative, analytical approach, synthesizing existing literature on e-leadership, public administration in Jordan, and sports management. It identifies key challenges within these departments, including limited financial and logistical resources, inadequate data management, ineffective communication channels, and insufficient professional development for staff. The paper argues that e-leadership, defined as a social influence process mediated by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to produce change in attitudes, feelings, thinking, behavior, and performance, is not merely a technological upgrade but a strategic imperative. The findings indicate that e-leadership competencies—such as managing virtual teams, leveraging data analytics for decision-making, fostering digital culture, and utilizing digital communication platforms—can directly mitigate these challenges. E-leadership can enhance resource optimization, streamline administrative processes, improve stakeholder engagement, and facilitate remote coaching and talent identification. The study concludes with a set of targeted recommendations for the Jordanian Ministry of Education and individual directorates. These include developing a national strategic framework for digital transformation in school sports, implementing specialized e-leadership training programs for sports supervisors and principals, investing in robust and user-friendly digital infrastructure, and promoting a culture of innovation and continuous learning. This research contributes to the nascent field of e-leadership in the Arab educational and sports context, providing a foundational model for leveraging digital tools to revitalize school sports programs in Jordan and similar environments.
