“…However, all these competencies are of little use without well-developed digital competencies. Here, it is interesting to note that self-attributed skills often differ from actual skills (Erro-Garcés & Hernández Palaceto, 2021;Kolm et al, 2022).…”

Purpose: This paper examines necessary competencies in virtual communities in Higher Education. Therefore, we explore which competencies are needed to participate in a virtual community and how these competencies can be captured and developed. Study design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to achieve the research objectives. Findings: As a result, five core competencies were identified: digital competencies, (inter)cultural competencies and language, social and communication competencies, self-motivation and self-management, and collaboration. Consequently, a self-assessment test for virtual community members was designed to capture existing competencies. Originality/value: The Covid-19 pandemic as a driver of digitization has led to virtual collaboration being more prevalent than ever. This research paper contributes to the topic of virtual collaboration by informing about the necessary competencies and by developing an intuitive tool for self-assessing. Thus, preparing team members to become more successful in virtual teamwork.

“…The willingness to use advanced techniques and technologies also belongs to digital competencies (Batrova et al, 2014). The ability to search for, find and utilize information also forms a significant point (Batrova et al, 2014;Erro-Garcés & Hernández Palaceto, 2021;Jacobson et al, 2013;Ruelens et al, 2018).…”

“…The literature emphasizes that information technology (IT) has changed the ways people communicate, work and spend their leisure time, as well as affected people's job security (Rhisiart et al. , 2017) and competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes) (Erro-Garcés and Hernández Palaceto, 2021). These changes have occurred in Western countries since the 1990s (Hoftijzer and Gortazar, 2018).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to research the impact of digitalization on employees' future competencies and the conditional role of human resource development (HRD) in the relationship between independent and dependent variables.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical research covered 1209 enterprises from all of Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic. The research was conducted from 2019 to 2021. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), a theoretical model was tested and verified.FindingsConfirmatory factor analysis has shown a good fit for the tested model. The purpose and character of our data showed a good alignment with the SEM partial least squares method, as the goal is to predict a construct. The model showed that employee-oriented digitalization positively affected the employees' future competencies, with no impact of customer-oriented digitalization treated as a control variable. Also, the moderating role of HRD has not been shown to be significant for the “digitalization – competencies” relationship.Originality/valuePrevious studies on the development of personnel competencies treated these competencies as antecedents of digital transformation and examined the formal role of HRD in building the competencies. The novelty of this study lies in exploring the pattern of interactions among the impact of an environment built by innovative technologies and HRD on the competencies of the future. Also, the research embedded in the environment of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia has contributed to the complex understanding of the transition to digitalization, as this region has often been omitted in the field of human resource management (HRM) research focused on exploring digital transformation.

What Digital Competency Tells Us About E‐Learning Satisfaction of Pre‐Service Teachers

It is imperative that pre‐service teachers gain digital competency (DC) as a result of their education where e‐learning is a central component. In this study, we aimed to describe pre‐service teachers' perceived DC and e‐learning satisfaction (ELS) levels, to examine how their perceived DC and ELS change in terms of related variables and to investigate how perceived DC predicts ELS. To inform their policy decisions, teacher training institutions and more generally HEIs must have a clear understanding of this relationship as it will allow them to decide whether to invest in e‐learning platforms or in enhancing pre‐service teachers' perceptions of DC. Utilising a quantitative research understanding, we collected data from 402 students in various teaching programs at a Faculty of Education. Findings indicated that pre‐service teachers report a high level of perceived DC and moderate level of ELS while we ascertained a low level of predictive relationship between the two variables. We suggest that policymakers prioritise investing resources in improving DC of pre‐service teachers in order to have them higher levels of ELS to increase the quality of their education.
