Abstract The current research paper explores the significant power of using the digital technologies in the business environment for enhancing teams’ performance and motivation in work relations. Lately, as hybrid and remote, full-time or part-time work models have been gaining more popularity, the important role of digital technologies in facilitating communicational processes, coordinating actions, and teams’ engagement has been highlighted by scientific literature. Hence, the present study aims to investigate if the digital environment contributed to higher levels of team motivation and improved teams’ efficiency in task solving. Using a mix between quantitative and qualitative research methods, the current research gathers valuable insights from the business environment and the usage of digital technologies not only for economic business purposes, but for building stronger working teams through leadership development. The findings suggest that effective implementation of digital technologies in teams’ management and collaboration enhances members’ productivity, while fostering a sense of deeper connection among team members, contributing at the same time to increased engagement and better outcomes.. Analyzing the current state of knowledge in the field and acknowledging the research limitations, the current paper aims to provide an overall view on how the relationships between team motivation – team performance – leadership development – digital transformation can help to optimize team dynamics and overall efficiency. Nevertheless, the study does highlight the importance in the current digitalized business environment of technological integration alongside human-centric management approaches for enhancing teams’ performance and for motivating teams’ members simultaneously.
