“…Attitudes toward digitalization were primarily positive, with Generation Z demonstrating significantly more positive views than their generational counterparts, as expected per previous research trends [ 96 ]. Consistent with previous studies, many respondents indicated uncertainty regarding their preparedness for the digital revolution [ 15 , 21 , 22 ].…”

Background Advances in digital health and digital learning are transforming the lives of patients, health care providers, and health professional students. In the interdisciplinary field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD), digital uptake and incorporation of digital topics and technologies into clinical training programs has lagged behind other medical fields. There is a need to understand professional and student experiences, opinions, and needs regarding digital health and learning topics so that effective strategies for implementation can be optimized. Objective This cross-sectional survey study aims to interdisciplinarily investigate professional and student knowledge, use, attitudes, and preferences toward digital health and learning in the German-speaking population. Methods An open-ended, web-based survey was developed and conducted with professionals and students in CSD including phoniatricians and otolaryngologists, speech-language pathologists (German: Logopäd*innen), medical students, and speech-language pathology students. Differences in knowledge, use, attitudes, and preferences across profession, generation, and years of experience were analyzed. Results A total of 170 participants completed the survey. Respondents demonstrated greater familiarity with digital learning as opposed to eHealth concepts. Significant differences were noted across profession (P<.001), generation (P=.001), and years of experience (P<.001), which demonstrated that students and younger participants were less familiar with digital health terminology. Professional (P<.001) and generational differences were also found (P=.04) in knowledge of digital therapy tools, though no significant differences were found for digital learning tools. Participants primarily used computers, tablets, and mobile phones; non–eHealth-specific tools (eg, word processing and videoconferencing applications); and digital formats such as videos, web courses, and apps. Many indicated a desire for more interactive platforms, such as virtual reality. Significant differences were found across generations for positive views toward digitalization (P<.001) and across profession for feelings of preparedness (P=.04). Interestingly, across profession (P=.03), generation (P=.006), and years of experience (P=.01), students and younger participants demonstrated greater support for medical certification. Commonly reported areas of concern included technical difficulties, quality and validity of digital materials, data privacy, and social presence. Respondents tended to prefer blended learning, a limited to moderate level of interactivity, and time and space–flexible learning environments (63/170, 37.1%), with a notable proportion still preferring traditional time and space–dependent learning (49/170, 28.8%). Conclusions This comprehensive investigation into the current state of CSD student and professional opinions and experiences has shown that incorporation of digital topics and skills into academic and professional development curricula will be crucial for ensuring that the field is prepared for the ever-digitalizing health care environment. Deeper empirical investigation into efficacy and acceptance of digital learning and practice strategies and systematic training and practical organizational supports must be planned to ensure adaptive education and practice.

“…Their collaborative and flexible nature reflects an inclusive view of the world, with a tendency to work together across traditional boundaries (Shabib et al, 2021). However, the need to maintain privacy and a more independent attitude signify the challenges faced by this generation in balancing digital connectivity and emotional well-being (Tolstikova et al, 2020).…”

This article addresses the issue of digital literacy as an essential basic need, yet there are still significant disparities in technology access and low digital literacy prevalent. To this end, the article explores the intergenerational interaction in digital literacy education among millennial families in Negeri Suli, Central Maluku. The aim of this research is to describe the patterns of intergenerational interaction in the context of digital literacy. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature studies from 10 millennial families in Negeri Suli. The primary informants involved 10 family members, as well as the King who serves as the village head, traditional leader, Saniri, and a teacher at SD XX school. The findings indicate that intergenerational interaction in digital literacy education encompasses imparting digital technology knowledge and skills to both the Z generations and baby boomers generations. This enables them to support previous generations in facing the digital era and strengthens intergenerational communication. The effectiveness of digital literacy education in schools was found through experiential-based teaching approaches and curriculum integration, successfully reducing generational gaps. Moreover, digital literacy is recognized as a crucial component in UNESCO's long-term plan for the future of education. Through digital literacy campaigns, family members are empowered to enhance their analytical abilities in leveraging digital technology optimally.

“…From the point of view of the academe, the researchers became interested in exploring this field in the sense that enhancement of professional traits will take place in the training institution aside from home and the environment. Furthermore, the researchers believed that studying the personality dimension nowadays is of utmost importance primarily because the entry-level workforce has been influenced by several factors, such as the digitalized system, changing climate, and the evolving financial landscape, as brought up by Tolstikova, I. et al (2020) This study aims to provide insights into how personality dimensions affect the job performance of the tourism and hospitality workforce.…”

The academic and industrial sectors are constantly changing through the influence of digitalization social and environmental influence. These landscapes, psychologically, will affect how future employees may behave in order to adopt to their respective professions. Positive personalities are obviously responsible for employees' success in an organization, especially in hospitality and tourism, where the profession deals with people with various cultural backgrounds. The jobs in tourism and hospitality could be more relaxed, as stated by Alexandra (2023), thus resulting in high job turnover. The study was to determine the relationship between the personality dimensions and job performance of hospitality professionals. Questionnaires were disseminated to 100 respondents, all hospitality professionals. Their answers were subjected to statistical computation using Mean and Pearson r. This study showed that in terms of personality dimension, the respondents highly manifest all the indicators, such as being extrovert, agreeable, conscientious, and open to new experiences. Interestingly, among all the indicators, the following emerged the highest: respondents assume people are good, they cooperate rather than compete, and they are proficient (competent or skilled). However, the respondents could be higher in this personality dimension, like being tolerant and being perfectionist. Moreover, the job performance of hospitality workers respondents shows HIGH in most of the indicators, especially arriving at work on time, proposing solutions to problems, and consulting the supervisor when necessary. However, in the interest of identifying room for improvement, these are initiative and Leadership skills, including responding to feedback. In terms of the relationship among two variables, the study shows a relationship between personality dimension and job performance, thus rejecting the null hypothesis. This indicates that personality dimensions are connected and relevant to the performance of hospitality professionals. This concludes that the personality dimension indicated in this study has a significant relationship. The study's implication would serve as an eye-opener for the human resource management of every hospitality firm in considering the gauging of personality traits or dimensions in hiring hospitality personnel. Aside from skills, gauging qualifications and competency may include personality dimension or trait tests that serve as their basis in providing specific job descriptions and positions for the graduating students. This would help the students find the appropriate and suitable job or business for them.
