Influence of organizational digital transformation competencies on individual job performance: the mediating effects of organizational supportive learning environment and individual readiness for change

Abstract

Purpose This study aimed to analyze the mediating effects of organizational supportive learning environment and individual readiness for change in the relationship between organizational digital transformation competencies and individual job performance among employees of large domestic companies in South Korea. Design/methodology/approach The authors surveyed employees of large domestic companies in South Korea and collected 260 questionnaires. The authors excluded eight responses that did not meet the research objectives and analyzed the remaining 252 responses using a structural equation modeling including measurement model analysis and structural model analysis using SPSS 29.0 and AMOS 26.0. Findings The authors found a statistically significant relationship between organizational size and organizational digital transformation competencies. Moreover, organizational digital transformation competencies positively influence individual job performance, and the dual mediating effects of organizational supportive learning environment and individual readiness for change are significant. Originality/value Since there is little empirical research validating the importance of digital transformation competencies in organizational settings related to job performance, this study holds academic significance in that it empirically validates the relationship between organizational digital transformation competencies and individual job performance and confirms the mediating effects of organizational supportive learning environment and individual readiness for change from both organizational and individual perspectives.
