transformation of educational administration in the Society 5.0 era through a literature review. The study traces and synthesizes 20 selected journal articles published between 2021 and 2026. The data were analyzed by identifying study characteristics, extracting findings, coding, grouping categories, conducting thematic synthesis, and preparing a summary matrix. The findings show that principals’ digital leadership serves as a connecting node across various dimensions of educational administration transformation, reflected in six major themes: (1) digital leadership as a driver of teacher performance and competence; (2) digital leadership within the Society 5.0 framework and readiness for change; (3) the transformation of data-based information systems and administration; (4) records management and administrative staff competence; (5) digital academic supervision as a leadership instrument; and (6) digital literacy and artificial intelligence-based leadership. The review also identifies three main research gaps: limited explicit integration of the Society 5.0 framework, insufficient attention to non-instructional administration, and the dominance of quantitative correlational studies. These findings strengthen the conceptual basis for developing an adaptive, data-informed, and human-centered model of principals’ digital leadership.
