This quantitative-correlational study aimed to assess to which extent the higher education institutions in West Bank- Palestine practice e-leadership during crises. The researcher mainly evaluated the relationship between leader personality and skills, leader social awareness, resources availability and e-leadership. For data collection, the researcher used a computerized questionnaire related to four pre-validated surveys (a) the survey of Bergman et al. (2014) for leader personality and skills variable, (b) the survey of Frankovsky and Birknerova (2014) for leader social awareness variable, (c) the survey of Aina and Adekanye (2013) for resources availability variable, and (d) the survey of Vought (2017) for the e-leadership variable. The target population was full-time academic and administrative employees with the rank of head of the department or higher. The sampling target for the research included 945 employees at higher education institutions in West Bank, Palestine. The relationship between the independent variables (leader personality and skills, leader social awareness, and resources availability) and the dependent variable e-leadership was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient statistic. The results of the Pearson correlation indicated a positive and significant correlation between leader personality and skills and e-leadership, r (327) = 0.233, P value= 0.000 < 0.05; also, between resources availability and e-leadership r (327) = 0.208, P value= 0.000 < 0.05. While there is positive but insignificant correlation between leader social awareness and e-leadership r (327) = 0.092, P value= 0.098 > 0.05. On the other hand, when considering all the variables collectively at the hierarchal regression, the results showed resources availability, leader social awareness, and leader personality and skill, respectively, were the strongest predictors of e-leadership. Another novel finding is that this study has filled a literature gap on the relationship between leader personality and skills, leader social awareness, resources availability, and the criterion variable e-leadership. Further research is recommended to conduct this study at community colleges, irregular universities, and irregular university colleges.
