“…This study contributed to the theory by noticing the impact of digitalization on the level of employees' competencies of the future, depending on the orientation of digitalization, whereas past literature on the usage of technology in HRM showed its positive outcomes mainly in the form of increased HR services and better communication (Marler and Fisher, 2013). This study also shed new light on the antecedents of future competencies, showing that the use of employee-oriented technology plays an important role here, whereas previous research emphasized that shaping of future competencies takes place mainly in the process of HRD (Bennett, 2022; Hamzah et al. , 2022).…”

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.
