“…In recent years, researchers and other academics have attempted to create a full and meaningful definition of DT [10]. Initially, DT was defined as the process of deploying technology to enhance and streamline the infrastructural processes of a city or large organization [3,[43][44][45], but this definition has been recently developed by Vial [1] to be more specific. According to Vial, DT is the act of improving an organizational structure (such as a city) by changing its fundamental character through the use of numerous technologies, such as communications, networks, and IT.…”

The notion of the smart city offers significant benefits to citizens and enterprises alike. To realize these benefits, however, the city’s organizations and working processes need to undergo a digital transformation (DT) which reshapes work practices and demands a new mindset from city employees. The readiness of these employees to accept such a DT has an effect on the extent to which the city’s residents and businesses benefit from being in a smart city context. This raises the question of which factors have the most influence on employees’ acceptance of DT—a question that has thus far received limited attention from researchers. This study introduces a model that examines various influencing factors, using data collected from a survey of 1180 employees in 10 smart cities in Saudi Arabia. The factors examined take a variety of forms, including external elements such as management provision for employees and process complexity, which can lead to resistance to change, as well as internal elements, such as perceived advantages and inertia. The findings of the study show that management support for employees and the perceived advantages of DT have a positive relationship with acceptance by employees, while process complexity and inertia have a negative relationship with employees’ acceptance. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature concerning DT acceptance in a smart city context and will provide organizations with insights on which to base strategies for encouraging employee adaptation to evolving digital landscapes.

“…With the surge in population, energy demand, urbanization, and environmental impact accompanying the onset of the digital era, a pressing need arises to prioritize the development of resilience solutions and the establishment of sustainable global energy infrastructure [45]. In alignment with this imperative, the concept of the "digital economy" has evolved, considering digitized knowledge and information as a pivotal production factor, contemporary information networks, and the effective utilization of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for productivity growth and economic optimization [46]. ICT encompasses technologies related to information processing, communication, and the convergence of various technologies for handling information [47].…”

Rapid advancements in digital technologies have accelerated global change, underscoring the critical role of resilience in addressing the escalating energy, economic, and environmental challenges. This paper investigates the effects and mechanisms of the digital economy on energy, economic, and environmental resilience within the context of these challenges. By utilizing panel data from 66 countries spanning the period from 2000 to 2020, this analysis employs robust panel data models and incorporates tests such as the Hausman and Leamer tests, and exploratory factor analysis. The results reveal a notable positive impact of the digital economy on resilience across various countries and time periods. However, when it comes to carbon emissions, a more intricate pattern emerges, suggesting a negative influence on resilience in environmental, energy, and economic domains. Interestingly, countries with below-average carbon emissions show more positive effects on economic resilience due to the digital economy. On the other hand, the effect of the digital economy on energy resilience is less prominent in below-average carbon-emitting nations, while carbon emissions have a more significant impact within this subgroup. Above-average carbon-emitting countries experience limited effects of the digital economy on environmental resilience, while below-average carbon-emitting countries face challenges with significant carbon emissions impacting their environmental resilience.
