“…As a result, the wider use of digital technologies at work has been underestimated. Analysis on the impact of technology can also be considered biased in the sense that the results 'disproportionally reflect the effects for workers who perform more cognitive tasks' (Salvatori et al, 2018).…”

“…Balsmeier and Woerter (2019) note that machine-based, digital technology such as robots, the internet of things and 3D printing are central drivers of the 4th industrial revolution (ILO and UNESCO, 2020). Survey instruments need to reflect such trends and measure the use of different digital technologies in workplaces, including computerised machinery and equipment (Salvatori et al, 2018). Having this in mind, Cedefop designed the ESJS2 to capture a broad range of digital technologies at work in Europe, including computer devices that rely on software and programmes and computerised machines typically used in factories, construction sites, warehouses, repair shops and for transportation or other services (Box 2).…”

The paper defines the key factors influencing human resources in the current economic development in Slovakia and points to possible ways of adapting human capital to the rapidly changing world. The paper aims to characterize the expected features of the foreseen digital and knowledge transformation of the Slovak economy and society and to identify possible paths of human resource development, based on the definition of the knowledge economy and the learning society.

“…Other recent studies analyze the effect that automation would have on productivity(Graetz & Michaels, 2018), job quality(Menon, Salvatori, & Zwysen, 2018) and job duration(Silva & Lima, 2017).2 To the best of our knowledge, the other database containing information about AI or other automation technologies is the one presented in the McKinsey Global Institute report 2017 that covered 14 economic sectors and ten countries across Europe, North America, and Asia(McKinsey Global Institute, 2017).…”

Forecasts about the effects of new technologies on labor demand are generally pessimistic. However, little is known about the current level of technology adoption and its effect on labor demand, particularly in developing countries. This paper exploits a national representative employer survey and administrative data from Peru to offer empirical evidence in this regard. Our results show that the adoption of new technologies by firms is still incipient in the country. However, when adopted, they slightly reduce the demand for workers in the medium term, particularly those in high-skilled and non-routine occupations, with a temporary job contract, and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PurposeThe construction industry has more propensity to negatively affect employees’ physical–mental well-being due to the inherently intense and demanding nature of the work involved. Digitalization can streamline the construction processes, and reduce stress, overtime and overall job-related pressure generated due to the nature of employment, contributing to the well-being of employees. Hence, the authors examined how digitalization, technostress and individual resilience could contribute to construction professionals’ physical–mental well-being using the transaction model of stress, self-determination theory and job-demand resources theory.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 86 young professionals using a structured survey. The professionals were working in Indian construction organizations where digitalization is implemented extensively. The survey consists of 21 items to measure four latent variables namely digitalization, technostress, physical–mental well-being and individual resilience. The study employs a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to examine the theoretical model empirically.FindingsThe results revealed that digitalization was positively associated with physical–mental well-being and negatively associated with technostress. Further, individual resilience was a moderating variable in the relationship between digitalization and technostress. Finally, technostress partially mediated the relationship between digitalization and physical–mental well-being.Originality/valueDigitalization has emerged as a valuable tool to tackle these challenges and improve the overall well-being of construction personnel. In the present study, digitalization is found to augment the physical–mental well-being of young construction professionals. Also, digitalization helps to significantly reduce technostress, thereby improving the physical–mental well-being of young professionals.
