Economies globally have relied on the difficulties of labor market operations. Their survival is based on their ability to adapt to the realities of current technological and digital requirements. The purpose of this study was to assess the future needs of the labor market for soft skills acquired by employees in the context of digitalization of the economy in facing modern attributes of labor market requirements using secondary data. The arguments advanced in this paper are premised on the notion that the digitalization of the economy leads to an increase in employers’ need for employees to acquire soft skills. The study is grounded on the Goal-Setting Theory of Motivation, which presupposes that there is a critical link between the goals individuals or organizations set for themselves and their performance. The analysis of the selected studies revealed that soft skills are considered critical during job interviews and are becoming increasingly scarce. This study predicts a shortage of employees with soft skills, accompanied by an increase in employers’ need for flexible skills. Additionally, this research recommends that discussions should consider the implications of digital technologies for personnel management and holistic measures to safeguard organizational wellbeing and protect the labor market economy through digitalization.
The present technological mode featuring the use of end-to-end digital platforms and technologies has caused transition of the transport branch to the qualitatively new development level-intellectualisation of transportation organization. An important condition for provision of competitiveness of the national transport and logistical system in the world market of transport services is intensification of innovative activity of economic subjects in accordance with the main vector of its development-increase of the speed of delivery of cargoes and transportation of passengers. To raise efficiency and productivity of the process of digital transformation on transport, it is proposed to use the tool of strategic controlling. The article describes the main issues of methodology of strategic controlling in part of building its basic element-the system of indices of innovative activity closely tied with the purposes of its implementation corresponding to the specificity of transport and logistical activity and expectations of its key stakeholders. The article describes the main feasibilities and threats of presently used and prospective digital solutions in transport which are recommended to be considered during upgrading of transport and logistical system. To solve the tasks of the research work, indicative method of planning was used, and also methods of expert estimates, generalisation, grouping, probability and impact matrix. The proposed system of indices of innovative development of transport and logistical system is designed to provide successful and efficient achievement of its strategic goals in the area of digital transformation, monitoring of innovative activity of economic subjects on micro-, meso-and macro levels of management. Revelation of the present day challenges of digital development of transport generates the basis for preparation of activities aimed at increase of efficiency of transport and logistical system functioning, achievement of the maximum positive synergetic effect by all the participants of transport process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
