Digitalization of work and employee performance: the role of personal resources. Karolina Poškutė, Vilnius, Vilnius University, 2023, 59. Employees who apply technology in their work face with various challenges. On the one hand, they have to adapt to the use of new technologies – to learn something new every day, to be able to change their established working habits. On the other hand, once employees have embraced technology and can devote more time to other initiatives, they need to employ their personal resources – to be able to recognise and use their personal strengths, to be innovative, creative and to go the extra mile at work to help colleagues. This can pose significant challenges for employees and organisations to adapt properly to the realities of everyday work affected by digitisation. The aim of this paper was to investigate the role of employees personal resources in the relationship between the digitisation of work and employee performance. The study involved 228 respondents. The age of the respondents ranges from 18 to 65 years, and looking at the gender distribution, we can see that the majority of the participants in the study are women, 195 women and 34 men. Looking at the distribution of the subjects by type of work, it can be seen that the majority of the study participants work from an office or other workplace or in a hybrid mode, with a smaller proportion working remotely full-time. In order to answer the objectives of the study, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyse the correlations between scales. The PROCESS statistical analysis developed by Hayes was also used, in other words, in order to understand the importance of personal resources at work in overcoming the challenges of digitalisation at work, a moderation analysis using multivariate linear regression was performed. The results showed that strengths use at work plays an important role of employee performance and the digitalisation of work. Also, job crafting predicts significant interactions only a link between information overload at work and performance, and extra - role behaviour at work. And, information overload at work is positively related to innovative behaviour when digital self-efficacy at work is low. Key words: Digitization, employee activity, personal resources at work. |
