Digital transformation has brought profound changes to organizational structures and to the dynamics of interprofessional communication. In this context, digital management has become a key element for improving coordination, information exchange, and team performance, particularly in cultural organizations. This study aimed to analyze the impact of digital management on interprofessional communication and its influence on the effectiveness of collective performance at the Main Public Reading Library of Djelfa Province. The research adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and used a questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. The sample consisted of 72 employees selected through purposive sampling, considering their direct involvement in digital communication processes and teamwork. Descriptive statistical techniques and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were employed for data analysis. The results indicate a clear adoption of digital management, an adequate level of interprofessional communication, and a positive relationship between communication and team performance, although challenges related to digital skills gaps and interaction styles persist. It is concluded that digital management contributes to strengthening interprofessional communication and improving collective performance, provided it is accompanied by continuous training strategies and organizational support.
