In today's fast-paced digital era, in organizations various human dimensions of digital leadership (DLP) capabilities drive digital transformations to ensure sustainable performance at a frenetic pace. This study focuses on empirically testing DLP capabilities, such as digital literacy (DL), positive attitudes (PAs) and knowledge sharing (KS) impact on employee performance (EP) while assessing the mediation effect of managerial capabilities (MCs). This study collected and utilized a sample of 279 from various organizations in Bangladesh who possess knowledge and skills related to digital technology and management. After data collection, we performed the analysis by using SPSS 23 and AMOS 24 to evaluate the outcomes based on a structural model based on social exchange theory (SET) and resource-based view (RBV) theory. The findings specify that DL and PAs did not directly significantly support EP; however, KS directly supports EP. Additionally, MCs partially mediate between KS and EP, whereas MCs fully mediate among DL, PA and EP. Results demonstrate that human-dimensional digital capabilities are vital for enhancing MCs and EP. This study empirically investigates the impact of human dimension capabilities in DLP on EP in developing. It contributes to the existing knowledge of the social exchange capabilities of the digital leaders' influence, enhancing organizational resources and sustainability
