“…Podjetja se morajo DP lotiti strateško, z dovolj tehničnega in poslovnega znanja, ter se osrediniti na skupne cilje in vizijo DP. Po drugi strani pa lahko podjetja izkoristijo priložnosti, ki jih prinaša trenutna evforija okrog DP za doseganje konsenza in jasnega sporočila vodstvu podjetja in zaposlenim, da skupaj vzpostavijo in ohranijo navdušenje za uveljavljanje sprememb (Tomat & Trkman, 2019).…”

Digitalna preobrazba (DP) je popularna tema v vseh panogah in poslovnih okoljih. Ključno je, da podjetja razumejo, zakaj je DP tako priljubljena in kaj se je zaradi nje resnično spremenilo. V prispevku je izpostavljena trditev, da je evforija okrog DP dostikrat pretirana in se izkorišča za pritegnitev pozornosti vodstva podjetij. Ključno pa je to povečano pozornost uporabiti za spremembe ob upoštevanju konceptualnih sprememb zadnjih let. V prispevku so podane smernice, kako morajo organizacije te spremembe upoštevati, če želijo strateško pristopiti k DP in pridobiti zanos, ki ga zahteva izvajanje DP.

“…Digital transformation, especially nowadays coupled with COVID-19, has increased the demand for enterprises' digitalisation and consequently the number of information systems (“IS”) professionals (Baller et al , 2016; Tomat and Trkman, 2019; Seetharaman, 2020). The pace of technological change has accelerated growth in the available IS jobs (Moreno et al , 2012; Bessen, 2019; World Economic Forum, 2020).…”

PurposeThe importance of information systems (IS) professions is increasing. As personality–job fit theory claims, employees must have suitable personality traits for particular IS professions. However, candidates can try to fake-good on personality tests towards the desired personality type. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify archetypal IS professions, their associated personality types and examine the reliability of the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test in IS recruitment decisions.Design/methodology/approachThe authors reviewed academic literature related to IS professions to identify job archetypes and personality traits for IS professions. Then, the authors conducted an experiment with 452 participants to investigate whether candidates can fake-good on personality tests when being tested for a particular IS profession.FindingsThe identified job archetypes were IS project manager, IS marketing specialist, IS consultant, IS security specialist, data scientist and business process analyst. The experimental results show that the participants were not able to fake-good considerably regarding their personality traits for a particular archetype.Research limitations/implicationsThe taxonomy of IS professions should be validated further. The experiment was executed in an educational organisation and not in a real-life environment. Actual work performance was not measured.Practical implicationsThis study enables a better identification of suitable candidates for a particular IS profession. Personality tests are good indicators of the candidate's true personality type but must be properly interpreted.Originality/valueThis study enhances the existing body of knowledge on IS professions' archetypes, proposes suitable MBTI personality types for each profession and provides experimental support for the appropriateness of using personality tests to identify potentially suitable candidates.
