This study examines the effect of digital literacy and training on employee performance, mediated by learning agility, among engineers at PT Kubayan Lestari Jaya, an Indonesian information and communication technology company. Rapid digital transformation requires technical employees to continuously upgrade both digital competence and hands-on technical skill, yet a preliminary survey revealed uneven mastery of core engineering tasks among staff and mixed evidence from prior studies regarding the role of digital literacy and training. This research tests seven hypotheses linking digital literacy, training, learning agility, and employee performance through a Resource-Based View lens. a quantitative survey was administered to 88 engineers using total sampling, and data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 4. Findings and digital literacy and training each significantly and positively affect employee performance and learning agility; learning agility significantly improves performance and partially mediates the effects of digital literacy and training on performance. Strengthening digital competence and structured, coaching-supported training, combined with deliberate development of learning agility, is recommended to sustainably improve employee performance in technology-based organizations.
