“…These frameworks mostly build on the Job Characteristics Model, the Self Determination Theory, and needs models (see Table 4). The two Job Characteristics 'Autonomy' and 'Skill Variety,' as well as individual needs are the most frequently mentioned mediators (Schmid and Auburger 2020). Researchers representing this perspective mostly based their assumptions on rigorous data and prior research results, which is also reflected by the average JCR rating of 5.0 for these articles.…”

“…At the same time, the very same technology also enables managers to monitor their subordinates more closely and can increase the expectancy to be available at any time. This results in a lack of control for the employee and can cause demotivation (Schmid and Auburger 2020). In this case, leadership style mediates the connection between technology and motivation.…”

The role of work and the characteristics of the workplace have changed greatly in recent decades. Today, new technologies enable an almost seamless interaction between machines and humans and allow teams in different countries and time zones to collaborate effectively. In this paper, we focus on the question of how job motivation is affected by technologies in the changing workplace. First, we review the state of research on job motivation and examine challenges in light of current technology trends and predicted developments for the workplace of the future. Job motivation is a well-documented construct connected to several company-relevant performance outcomes. However, our comprehensive literature review reveals a fragmented picture, with several disciplines addressing the topic from various points of view. We identify the four following schools of thought on workplace technologies and motivation: Technology as 1. background music, 2. hygiene factor, 3. motivator, and 4. influencer of mediators. While some scholars neglect technology in their considerations, others describe complex frameworks. This lack of unity reveals a further need for research. We suggest further research to develop holistic frameworks including moderators and to collect empirical data on the complex interactions between technology and job motivation.

Startups frequently encounter growth challenges, with a survival rate of only about 10%, and Indonesian startups face additional obstacles, including significant layoffs in key sectors. In this study, the author examined the relationship between workplace technology (WT), job autonomy (JA), new ways of working (NWW), and employee productivity (EP) in Indonesian unicorn startups in the postpandemic era. Using survey data from 413 employees and analyzed through covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) with LISREL software, the author tested the hypotheses and found out that WT and JA significantly foster NWW and enhance EP. These findings highlight the critical role of WT and JA in shaping the modern work environment and enhancing productivity, particularly in the context of startups navigating the complexities of a postpandemic landscape to support sustainable growth and competitiveness.
