Abstract :
This study examines the effects of knowledge absorption capacity, agility, and senior management mindfulness toward digital transformations on organizational performance, with an emphasis on the mediating role of business model innovation (BMI). The research is applied in nature, utilizing a descriptive-survey method. We distributed 244 standardized questionnaires to managers and experts in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kurdistan Province. Data were analyzed using SPSS for descriptive statistics and SMART PLS4 for inferential statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) with a partial least squares (PLS) approach
Our findings reveal a significant positive effect of knowledge absorption capacity on BMI and, consequently, on organizational performance through the mediating effect of BMI. We also found a significant effect of agility on BMI and confirmed the significant effect of BMI on performance. However, the study shows that organizational agility does not significantly affect performance through the mediation of BMI. Similarly, senior management mindfulness toward digital transformations does not significantly impact BMI or organizational performance with BMI as a mediator. Furthermore, risk-taking and sustainability were not found to have a moderating role in the relationships studied
