The role of teachers' digital leadership and personality traits in enhancing student academic performance is increasingly recognized, particularly in creative fields like visual communication education. This study aims to explore how teachers’ digital leadership influences student outcomes and how personality traits contribute to a conducive learning environment. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, analyzing 12 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2023. These 12 studies were selected based on their relevance, credibility, and alignment with the research objectives, as well as the inclusion criteria of focusing on digital leadership, personality traits, and student performance. The findings reveal that effective digital leadership improves student engagement, creativity, and digital literacy, while openness, extraversion, and emotional stability positively impact classroom dynamics and student motivation. The study recommends professional development programs for digital leadership and emotional resilience training for teachers. The findings have implications for curriculum design and teacher training. However, the study is limited by its reliance on secondary data and the evolving nature of educational technology. Future research should explore empirical case studies and interdisciplinary approaches.
