Abstract
Empowering leadership is crucial in modern software development. However, there is a lack of studies on how empowering leadership affects agility in software development. To fill this gap, we investigate the role of empowering leadership in agility in software development through the lens of transactive memory systems (TMS) theory. In this conceptual paper, we propose a theoretical framework in which TMS plays a mediating role between empowering leadership and agility. This framework advances our understanding of the value of empowering leadership practices in developing TMS, which in turn helps software development teams achieve agility. The proposed leadership practices and their categories also provide guidelines for effectively exercising empowering leadership.
