The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly affected various sectors, including education. Integrating digital tools and platforms in human resource management offers opportunities to enhance efficiency and organizational performance. This study investigates the impact of digital transformation on human resource performance in educational directorates in Egypt. A descriptive analytical methodology was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire distributed to 450 administrative officials across eight randomly selected directorates out of the 27 directorates in Egypt, constituting approximately 30% of the total. The study retrieved 413 questionnaires, with about a 91% response rate. Data analysis reveals a significant positive correlation between digital transformation and the quality of human resource performance. Strategic planning (R² = 0.901), leadership development (R² = 0.699), skills acquisition (R² = 0.899), and institutional infrastructure (R² = 0.907) are identified as key factors that significantly influence HR performance. The findings suggest that embracing digital transformation and investing in these dimensions can lead to enhanced human resource performance in educational institutions. The study concludes that digital transformation can significantly improve human resource performance in the education sector, emphasizing the need for strategic planning, leadership development, skills acquisition, and a supportive organizational culture to fully leverage the potential of digital technologies.
