Innovation has grown up in a digital world and is far more technologically intelligent by the use of social media through the internet to keep in touch with the rest of the world. Information Technology employees are goal-oriented, work-oriented, and have rapid career advancement. Simultaneously, they also raise the value of workforce and organization structure to define a quality and productivity process for their individual benefit and that of their economy and environment. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to provide a current overview of digital competence research focused on the impact of employees between the relationship of digital autonomy and innovative work behavior from 2015 to the end of 2022 in the field of digital models. By conducting a SLR, we summarize a wide range of sources based on the guidelines recently followed by other systematic review format on the domain of digital educational technology. According to the statement of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, 34 articles were selected from 1430 screened articles by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven types of research methods were categorized from the selected articles. When reviewing these studies, 18 articles were examined under relationship topics and 12 articles reported on impact topics under different tasks. Among the conclusions, the SLR findings provides answers to the questions based on the analysis of selected articles in accordance with the modelled questions. Thus, the in-depth analysis of this review indicates a better understanding of the impact of employees on the relationship between digital autonomy and innovative work behaviour, and this research will benefit for future researchers to determine an appropriate solution for their needs.
