Purpose This study aims to increase the understanding of the connection between effective leadership behaviours and information culture in the higher education institution (HEI). Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study was conducted at one department of an HEI in Estonia. This study used semi-structured interviews and document analysis for data collection. The hypothesis-generating technique applying grounded theory analysis was used for data analysis. Findings The information culture of the department was a multiple culture with mixed attributes from the relationship-based culture and the risk-taking culture. Six main effective leadership behaviours within the department were identified, namely, communicating well about the direction the department is going, having a clear sense of direction and strategic vision, providing resources for and adjusting workloads to stimulate scholarship and research, making academic appointments that enhance department’s reputation, allowing the opportunity to participate in key decisions and encouraging open communication and creating a positive and collegial work atmosphere. The main hypotheses that illustrate the influence of effective leadership behaviours on information culture were generated. Practical implications The findings of this study can inform the training of future leaders in HEIs. Originality/value There is a lack of research in higher education that focuses on the relationship between leadership and information culture, and this research fills this gap.

The purpose of the article is to consider three important issues from the point of view of synergetic theory: global digitalization of society, digitalization of public administration and sociology of digital society. We consider that the new trend of informatization, which replaced computerization, internetization and networkization, should be recognized as digitalization as the creation of digital network platforms that have analytical and predictive functions. In the process of studying the global digital society, two main questions will be asked: How is it different from the previous stage of information society? What problems of its development await us in the future? The authors reveal the last question with a scenario approach, denoting both a positive and an ambiguous perspective for the development of a digital society. The authors point to the need for the purposeful formation of social institutions in a digital society due to the complexity of the ongoing self-organizing processes. Consideration of the sociology of digital society begins with methodological problems associated with the study of a complex hybrid system due to the unification of real and virtual social spaces, the emergence of techno-subjects and some experience in the use of digital tools in sociology, allowing to work with interactive dynamic data.

The objectives of the article are to consider new possibilities of controllability in the context of digitalization and the becoming of a society with new characteristics and development trends. In the twentieth century, under the influence of digitalization, new trends and development threats appeared in the world associated with a sharp increase in the complexity of social processes, the intensive development of information technologies and the network structure society formation, which caused many new forms of communication. Society gradually attempts to become an ‘adult’ in this upcoming digital world — we can see it by the quality characteristics of Generation Z. But it loses something very important. The society has already realized that it is necessary to revise the semantic accents of the “public administration” term, shifting them towards the term “controllability”. But how to do it whether it is necessary to do it? The author’s thoughts and conclusions are based on sociological studies over the past 7–8 years, including: a comprehensive study “Dialogue of power and society in Internet communications (2013–2015); Global Digital Overview. 2020 and All Internet statistics for 2020 — figures and trends in the world and in Russia; ”Analysis of Russian media and Russian-language social media”, using the Medialogy information system (2015–2020). Keywords: Public Administration, Digital Society, digitalization, controllability, social network
