Purpose - The technological breakthrough known as the 4th Industrial Revolu-tion is characterised by the mass spread of the Internet and its penetration into most human activities. Devices are being connected to this network, giving rise to new sociotechnical systems. For such systems to work reliably, experts with digital skills are needed. Aim - The aim of this paper is to explore the possibilities of appropriate cur-riculum adaptation in light of human capital development trends in the con-text of digitalisation. Design/methodology/approach - A detailed survey of publications in the Web of Science database was used to investigate the issue under study. In order to have a complete picture, the results were examined in VOSviewer. Findings - The results show a growing trend of interest in this subject. Profes-sionals are making efforts to incorporate digital courses into the curriculum since they recognise the value of continuous learning. Limitations of the study - Much deeper and more detailed research, based on primary data sources is needed on this issue to obtain more relevant and de-tailed results. Practical Implications - This paper has provided insight into the trend of the issue under study, revealing the necessity of implementing digital courses in the content of education. The paper's contribution is its suggestions for curric-ulum modifications that would help students become more digitally literate and hence more equipped for the workplace of the future – Work 4.0. Originality/value – Research, based on secondary data sources, confirms the growing importance of a digital nature in context of Industry 4.0 with practi-cal implications to educational process.
OBJECTIVE: Social networks have become a phenomenon of modern times, and their popularity is still growing. Platforms of these media provide space for various marketing strategies, including human resources management. The paper submitted focuses on the role of social networks, namely Facebook and LinkedIn, in the job search process from the perspective of a jobseeker. The objective of the paper is to describe the ways users use these networks for this purpose, to analyse their trend, and compare the results obtained with the results presented in the Scottish study “Using social media during job search” by John A. Mowbray and Hazel Hall (2021). METHODS: The basic data source is responses obtained through an online questionnaire and interviews showing the personal experience of four respondents with the networks under review. Based on the response, a comparison with the relevant findings published in the study by Mowbray and Hall (2021) was carried out. RESULTS: The results show the growing popularity of using Facebook and LinkedIn in job seeking from the side of jobseekers and point to the fact that the type of job searched influences user behaviour. These networks enable both active and passive search, represent a comfortable environment for jobseekers, and are used for building thematic groups.CONCLUSION: The contribution of this paper is the recommended implementation of Facebook and LinkedIn in the job search and recruitment process in order to maximize the efficiency of these processes. The authors also point out the lack of adequate studies concerning users of these networks in the Czech Republic. Received: 30 August 2022 / Accepted: 6 December 2022 / Published: 5 January 2023
