El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar sistemáticamente la producción científica reciente sobre la relación entre las competencias digitales de los directivos y el desempeño institucional en organizaciones educativas. Se desarrolló una revisión sistemática de literatura orientada por PRISMA 2020, consultando exclusivamente Google Scholar como fuente documental. La búsqueda se delimitó al periodo 2021-2026 y permitió seleccionar 25 documentos académicos vinculados con liderazgo digital, competencias tecnológicas directivas, cultura digital, integración de tecnologías y efectividad institucional. Los resultados evidenciaron cuatro categorías principales: liderazgo digital y transformación institucional, competencias directivas para la gestión tecnológica, mediación docente en el desempeño organizacional y brechas de infraestructura, formación y cultura digital. La evidencia revisada mostró que las competencias digitales de los directivos no se limitan al dominio instrumental de herramientas, sino que involucran visión estratégica, toma de decisiones basada en datos, promoción de la innovación, acompañamiento pedagógico, seguridad digital y desarrollo profesional docente. Asimismo, los estudios sugieren que el desempeño institucional mejora cuando el liderazgo directivo articula infraestructura, cultura colaborativa y uso pedagógico de la tecnología. Sin embargo, persisten vacíos relacionados con estudios longitudinales, mediciones comparables y evidencia latinoamericana. Se concluye que fortalecer las competencias digitales directivas es una condición relevante para consolidar instituciones educativas más innovadoras, resilientes y orientadas a la mejora continua.
