Abstract : In recent years, integrating technology into educational settings has significantly transformed schools into intelligent learning environments that enhance teaching, learning, and administrative functions. This digital shift, while promising, presents challenges that require effective leadership and governance. School heads are pivotal in navigating these challenges, leveraging technology to improve educational outcomes and foster a culture of innovation and adaptability. Despite the growing importance of technology in education, there is a notable gap in research concerning the specific factors that influence school heads' capacity to manage technology effectively. Existing studies have primarily focused on technology adoption and integration, leaving a gap in understanding the operational capabilities necessary for effective technology management. This study explores the relationship between digital resiliency, the school environment, and school heads' technology management operations capacity and identifies how these factors interact to enhance technology management practices. Employing a quantitative research design with a descriptive-correlational approach, the study involves 100 school heads from diverse educational settings. Data is collected through structured questionnaires assessing digital resiliency, school environment, and technology management capacity. Statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation and regression analysis, are used to explore these relationships. The findings indicate that school heads exhibit high digital resiliency and technology management capacity, supported by a highly effective school environment. Strong positive correlations are observed between digital resiliency, school environment, and technology management capacity, underscoring the importance of individual competencies and supportive environments. The study highlights the critical role of collaborative Culture, administrative support, and digital skills in enhancing technology management capacity. It recommends targeted professional development and strategic planning to strengthen these areas. Future research should investigate these dynamics and explore innovative strategies to optimize technology management in educational settings, ultimately leading to more effective and resilient schools. This research provides valuable insights for educational leaders aiming to navigate the complexities of technology management and improve academic outcomes.
