Abstract :It is evident that Society 5.0, which has become significant with its features that provide comfort and happiness to citizens, will be shaped by the decisions made by political authorities. The transformation of the state, the highest political authority within society, into a new format (State 5.0/Digital State) is now a reality. In this context, a quantitative study was conducted in public institutions located in Ortaköy district of Aksaray province to identify the leadership competencies of public administrators in guiding digital transformation. This study was designed using the general survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. The study\\\'s findings revealed that, while some differences emerged based on demographic variables, administrators and employees generally shared similar perceptions regarding digital leadership in the public sector. Although the level of digital leadership in public institutions has not yet reached the desired level for Society 5.0, the fact that the opinions of administrators and employees are closely aligned is significant as it reflects the most honest assessment of digital leadership within the public sector.
