Abstract

As organizations navigate rapid digital transformation, leadership and technology increasingly work together to shape sustainable organizational outcomes. This study examines how transformational leadership and AI-enabled Total Quality Management (TQM) influence sustainable organizational performance in both school and business management contexts. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected through a structured survey questionnaire administered to 342 administrators, managers, and supervisors from educational institutions and business organizations. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships among the variables. The results indicate that transformational leadership significantly influences the implementation of AI-enabled Total Quality Management (β = 0.62, p
