In an era of ever-evolving information technology, modern organizations increasingly rely on digital communications to facilitate internal and external interactions. This research aims to investigate the role and impact of digital communication as a tool for improving organizational performance. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research results show that the application of digital communication has a positive impact on organizational performance. Factors such as adequate technological infrastructure, digital literacy of organizational members, clear policies and protocols, leadership level support, appropriate communication context and objectives, and information security, contribute significantly to the success of digital communications. Research highlights benefits such as rapid exchange of information, efficient coordination, strengthening internal networks, transparency, overcoming geographic barriers, and increased engagement of organizational members. However, challenges such as security risks and information overload also need to be considered. Therefore, understanding and managing these factors is key in maximizing the role of digital communications to achieve organizational goals more effectively.

INTRODUCTION Communication, as a series of processes of transferring and exchanging messages, is the main basis for human interaction in various aspects of daily life. Messages communicated can be facts, feelings, ideas or thoughts, as well as data or information that aims to influence other people (Kustini, 2017). Communication activities are a necessity in human life, manifested in interactions between individuals and themselves, between individuals, individuals and groups, and in organizational contexts that involve many individuals (Furqon, 2003). Humans are categorized as social creatures because their existence cannot be separated from the need for interaction and relationships with other people. Communication, as the main tool, is used to establish relationships, interact and understand each other with the aim of achieving various goals in everyday life (Mailani et al, 2022). The importance of communication also includes the role of the media as an intermediary in conveying messages. Although initially communication was formed directly without media intermediaries, the increasing number of human beings spread throughout the world requires media as a means of conveying messages (Tosepu, 2018). Along with the digital era, the development of information and communication technology has become a catalyst for change in the dynamics of human communication. In the digital era, media transformation not only acts as an intermediary, but also as a catalyst for fundamental changes in the dynamics of human communication. The development of information technology, especially via the internet, presents unlimited capabilities for individuals to connect and communicate across regions (Suryani, 2017). This phenomenon shifts the communication paradigm from previously limited to a certain area to become global. Now, every individual has instant access to various information, views and interactions from all corners of the world without any geographical barriers (Zamroni, 2009). The digital era not only provides facilities for global connections, but also opens up opportunities for changes in human communication patterns as a whole. The use of digital media not only makes communication easier, but also expands the scope of human interaction (Mahendra, 2017). Through social platforms, online forums, and communication applications, individuals can exchange ideas, share experiences, and build relationships virtually. Thus, the digital era creates a dynamic communications landscape, connecting global society in a vast and ever-expanding information network.
