“…Traditional business models have been disrupted and new digital platforms and ecosystems have emerged (Carayannis & Jancelewicz, 2021). Businesses have used digital technologies to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and increase productivity through automation and data-driven decision making (Dhondt et al, 2021;Buhr, 2017). The growth of the sharing economy, facilitated by digital platforms, has introduced new forms of employment and peer-to-peer transactions.…”

“…By ensuring widespread access to broadband services and advanced mobile networks, these countries provide a favourable environment for research, development and adoption of new technologies. The availability and accessibility of high-speed internet contributes to the digital transformation of industries, encourages entrepreneurship and fosters a culture of innovation, ultimately leading to their strong performance in both dimensions (EU, 2015;Buhr, 2017;Ignatow, 2020;Sarren & Haarstad, 2021;Dhondt et al, 2021;Nagy & Somosi, 2022). In other words, countries with a strong internet connectivity infrastructure make it easier for people to access information and resources online.…”

The widespread adoption of digital technologies is transforming societies, bringing with it both opportunities and challenges. This article examines the level of digitalisation in different European Union (EU) countries, with the aim of providing insights and lessons for advancing digital transformation. The research methodology uses a quantitative approach, with Eurostat as the primary data source. Principal component and cluster analyses were conducted to identify the key factors shaping digital transformation in the EU-27 countries. The results show the existence of three key factors that can help to understand digital transformation in the EU, namely “digital empowerment”, “digitalisation of enterprises” and “broadband access”, and four clusters with heterogeneous performances along these dimensions, classified as “digital access leaders”, “digital transformation champions”, “digital empowerment laggards” and “empowerment driven disparities”. By recognising interdependencies and understanding each country's digital performance, policymakers can develop targeted strategies to close the gap and ensure that the benefits of digitalisation are accessible to all. An integrated approach focusing on digital empowerment, enterprise digitalisation and broadband access can promote inclusive and sustainable digital development, contributing to economic growth and improved quality of life.

Labour Law: New Workplaces in the Metaverse and Opportunities for Cultural and Heritage Professions

The authoress will analyse the impact that the metaverse has and will have on the labour market, with a focus on the employment relationship, in the scenario of transitional (labour) markets that face several issues closely related to technology and digital. Microsoft's investment of nearly $70 billion in 2022 on the metaverse, along with investments by Google and Epic Games and large groups such as Gucci, Nike and Walmart - to name a few - represent the tip of the iceberg of a process that is already well underway and in which we are all involved. On the one hand, the interaction of different elements of cyberspace – used to generate immersive experiences in augmented reality through the combination of physical and digital aspects of life, three-dimensional technology, the Internet of Things, and personal avatars – may represent a form of welfare. On the other hand, the legal issues are different both with respect to aspects that are more typical of digital/technology platform property law (to give an immediate example) and with respect to the issue of blockchain-supported platforms and the impact of the metaverse on the "workplace," which we are specifically interested in. It is necessary to delve into the different issues that arise in the Italian legal system. Such issues include both the status of the worker with the applicable discipline (whether framed under the discipline of transnational posting or falling under the discipline of the relationship with elements of internationality set forth in the Regulation (ec) no 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 of the Rome Convention on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I)) and labour control. Moreover, issues related to the protections provided in the Italian Workers' Statute (Statuto dei Lavoratori), not excluding psychosocial risks, must also be investigated. Another issue to focus on is contractual distancing. The status of the worker in the Metaverse is that of one who sits at a virtual desk in front of a virtual keyboard and screen for completely virtual work performance. Likewise, effects of social dumping arise in light of a possible labour crowdsourcing problem in Countries where labour costs are low. On the labour front, the questions that will arise are: what employment regulations and contracts will have to be applied to such professional activities? And what kind of new job profiles will emerge? Lastly, ethical questions also surface regarding the system of rules as well as the algorithms that will have to administer the labour market in a scenario in which human and artificial intelligence will have to coexist and contaminate each other. Further enquiry will be presented on the need to manage human capital and its strictly related impact on human resources to avoid social inequalities and discrimination. Finally, the impact on new job profiles and opportunities for cultural and heritage professions will be analysed. Keywords: Labour law; Labour market; Metaverse; Health & safety; Heritage professions.

Motivating for Innovating: Examining the Relationship Between Regulatory Focus and Workplace Innovation

Understanding employee motivation is central to fostering workplace innovation (WPI) within firms for enhanced quality of working life and work performance. This research examines the relationship between WPI and the promotion and prevention orientations for motivation proposed by regulatory focus theory (RFT). Survey responses from 309 service industry employees and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) aid in empirically assessing this relationship. Survey results indicate a positive relationship between the promotion focus of RFT and the dimensions of WPI, but not the prevention focus. The study also finds empirical support for the relationship between regulatory focus and the innovative climate of service industry firms. Guided by these findings, this study encourages managers to savvily work on workplace climate-based development and promotion-based organisational designs for initiatives and action plans that foster WPI.
