The current study aims to measure the effect of digital transformation on employment in Egypt, in addition to developing some proposed measures to sustain the digital vision in the New Republic to reduce unemployment. So, this study tries to contribute to this discussion, which attracted the attention of the two researchers to the problem of this research. EViews 12 Software was used as this study depended on the autoregressive distributed lag methodology, which gives the best results in the long run, and is considered one of the most suitable models with the sample size used in this research. The sample size consisted of 18 observations extended from 2003 to 2020. As well as, the Vector Auto-Regression model was used to test the relationship between variables in order to test hypotheses as it is characterized by dealing with the variables entering the system as correlated internal variables. The study results showed that the unemployment variable did not have a causal effect on the independent variables, while the education variable and the Gross domestic product variable had a causal and positive effect on the independent variables that express the transformation digital where the significance value was less than 5%.digital transformation, employment in Egypt, procedures of reducing unemployment | INTRODUCTIONToday, the world is witnessing a fourth industrial revolution as a result of rapid technological developments that are reflected in societies and institutions alike. Globally, daily life is changing in unimaginable ways. It is expected that digital transformation technology will have a significant effect on jobs quantitatively and qualitatively. As a result of the changing nature and conditions of work and the digital skills required, the institutions' need for specific types of workers may be lower (David, 2015), so there are many concerns that technological innovation will reduce job opportunities and suppress wages and therefore workers are expected to resist the modern digital technologies, where they make their skills obsolete which in turn reduces their income permanently (Frey & Osborne, 2017). In this context, (Elgohary, 2020) had proved the resistance of workers to the modern technologies in his study; the impact of employees' resistance to change on implementing e-government systems.Digital transformation has now become an important part of the sustainable development implementation plan, so Egypt seeks to keep pace with these developments by activating the digital transformation system in all state institutions to improve the business environment and culture, raise the level of performance and increase production rates to create many job opportunities and reduce unemployment in an effort to implement Egypt's plan for sustainable development (El-Kamhawi, 2020).

The Agile approach proved to be effective in building self-managed software development teams that can quickly respond to rapid changes and adapt to ambiguous and complex business environments with fast-changing requirements. After the pandemic, and as a cause of worldwide lockdown, companies struggled to survive. Most companies started shifting their work processes and environment to handle ambiguity using Agile methods and tools. The company’s transition to Agile is usually led by HR, which played an essential role in this change, managing the talent and choosing the best processes to benefit the organization and avoiding other rigid processes and consider them wastes. Some Agile methodologies can add tremendous value to the organizations, while applying other methods can be harmful. Today, companies seek to reinvent their working practices by incorporating the Agile approach to improve flexibility and meet increasingly competitive market demands. This study examines the Agile management role in the HRM environment transformation and its effect on the new reality of adopting technologies in all HRM.

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.
