Leadership governance under algorithmic mediation: reconceptualizing transformative leadership through an integrative review Nasser Al Harrasi, Abir Al Mujaini Leadership and Organization Development Journal, 2026 Purpose This paper explores the evolving nature of leadership in the context of AI integration, focusing on the transformation of leadership roles, ethical challenges and the redistribution of power and decision-making authority. It aims to offer a conceptual framework that guides leadership theory and practice in the digital age. Design/methodology/approach Using a structured literature review of sources published between 2014 and 2024, the paper synthesizes insights from transformational leadership, ethical leadership and the Cynefin framework. It also examines key organizational and human-centric challenges associated with AI adoption, including resistance to change, ethical risks and competency development. Findings The review indicates that in AI-mediated systems, leadership is enacted primarily as leadership governance. This involves decision-rights allocation, accountability, oversight and auditability, and escalation and human override. It also includes contesting algorithmic outputs when needed. The three domains identified (human-centred, strategic and technical) function as resources for enacting governance. Legitimacy and identity pressures rise when leaders are held accountable for AI-influenced outcomes without equivalent interpretive access or discretionary control. Practical implications For leadership educators, the findings suggest the need to move beyond generic “AI literacy” toward governance-informed learning designs that develop judgement under algorithmic mediation. Curriculum modules can explicitly combine ethical reasoning, identity work, and decision-making under algorithmic uncertainty. Originality/value The paper contributes to leadership theory by reconceptualizing transformative leadership in AI-integrated contexts as leadership governance, a sociotechnical condition defined by decision-rights allocation, institutional accountability, oversight, and enforceable escalation and override.
Future horizons: Exploring artificial intelligence's role in shaping research landscapes Nasser Al Harrasi, Mohamed Salah El Din Utilizing AI for Assessment Grading and Feedback in Higher Education, 2024 This chapter explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on various research domains. The chapter highlights the leading role of AI research platforms in the development of AI in research practices. In addition, the chapter describes the fundamental concepts of AI powered tools such as generative artificial intelligence and large language models. The narrative extends to AI integration in modern research practices, spotlighting its use in hypothesis formulation, generation of research questions, and data analysis. AI's contributions to data analysis in many fields are explored, particularly in automating processes and generating insights. The discussion further explores several AI applications in various research domains such as RPA, Semantic Scholar, and DeepChem. However, potential bias and transparency are main challenges of AI-powered applications. Therefore, it is imperative to champion explainable AI and human-in-the-loop approaches to improve confidence. The chapter recommends further interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and AI developers.
