Digital transformation (DT) is increasingly fundamental for organizations to not only implement, but thoroughly understand and dictate. Recent studies suggest that DT is not limited to the process of implementing digital technology to enhance business performance; it is the process of harmonizing organizational goals, values, and culture with employees by the mean of digital technologies. Therefore, it is critical to understand DT and determine its success from the perspective of the employee. To further understand the role of employees in DT, this paper theorizes and validates the relationships between digital culture, employee experience with DT, and DT co-governance. The findings guide theoretical and practical development in the field.
