“…There are many challenges while implementing Industry 4.0, among them, insufficient qualification of employees and lack of adequate skill-sets to expedite the march towards fourth industrial revolution (Karagözoglu 2017;Ciobanu and Androniceanu 2018) are issues that need to be addressed. In the recent decades, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have entered into every single area of the industry (Raišienė and Jonušauskas 2013;Delina and Tkáč 2015;Smoląg and Kot 2015;Madan et al 2016;Bartosik-Purgat et al 2017). In this case, the technology integration in education definitely speeds the progress of Industry 4.0.…”

Industry 4.0 is a current trend of automation and digitalization of industries. The impacts and importance of Industry 4.0 are reflected in all aspects of our lives. The purpose of this article is to analyze the literatures based on a scoping review method. A lack of digital culture, training, knowledge, and language are also challenges faced by Industry 4.0 while implementing its operations. Digital English and Education 4.0 are also employee competencies of Industry 4.0. The authors have reviewed the literature related to Digital English, Education 4.0, and Industry 4.0 from various resources. Astonishingly, the results show that the studies conducted in these areas are so specific focusing only one of the above-mentioned areas; no research article was identified that detailed the interconnections among these areas. From the scoping review, the study has identified the gaps in the literature. Thus, the study concludes that filling up the gaps and conducting research in these areas are useful to sort out a few of the challenges of Industry 4.0 and it recommends that in future, researchers conduct studies based on the interconnections of Digital English and Education 4.0 for Industry 4.0.

“…On the other hand, having agreed on principal direction on rather high level of abstraction, the same protagonists of practice and science immerse into intense ongoing discussion, when level of abstraction has to be lowered and benchmarking of desired state has to be started (Stańczyk 2011;Makštutis et al 2012;Balkienė 2013; Laužikas, Krasauskas 2013). The problem is that contemporary processes of development due to overwhelmingly rapid development of technologies, and, especially information technologies, start raising new urgent issues, which threaten businesses, industries, economies and societies (Białoskórski 2012;Matei, Savulescu 2012;Raišienė, Jonušauskas 2013). Aim of the presented paper is to discuss and articulate questions, which have to be draw attention of wider audience and serve as ground for further elaboration of scientific discussion in field of sustainable development in digital age of Big Data (Hsinchun et al 2012;Fuschi, Tvaronavičienė 2014).…”

“…Interrelation between sustainability and security can be graphically depicted (Figure 1; Figure 2). To generalize, sustainable development, or, rather, economic and technologic development naturally triggers threats, which could be considered as side effect of development (Raišienė, Jonušauskas 2013). To put in other words, threats is development, or "development stage" either "development context" sensitive.…”

Sustainable development process is affected by contemporary phenomena. Big Data processing inefficiency is detrimental for banks' activity excellence. The software used for running and handling the interbank network framework provides services with extremely strict uptime (above 99.98 percent) and quality requirements, thus tools to trace and manage changes as well as metrics to measure process quality are essential. Having conducted a two year long campaign of data collection and activity monitoring it has been possible to analyze a huge amount of process data from which many aggregated indicators were derived, selected and evaluated for providing a managerial dashboard to monitor software development. The paper provides insights about the issues related to Big Data processing inefficiencies. Context of sustainable development is being taken into account.

“…The organizational demands to adopt technology can result in technostress generation (La Torre et al, 2019). This stress brings physical and emotional exhaustion among employees (Raišienë and Jonušauskas, 2013) and negatively affects their performance. The information systems research on stress, known as research on technostress, has found that the technology induces harmful psychological stress and is concomitant with adverse organizational outcomes (Tarafdar et al, 2010(Tarafdar et al, , 2015Ayyagari et al, 2011).…”

Technostress, a stressor, has implications for employee’s psychological states; however, flexibility like work from home can have positive outcomes, especially for instructors who have to teach and ensure social distance during COVID-19. The present study examined the relationship of technostress and employee performance while taking training and creative self-efficacy as boundary conditions. A sample of 222 university instructors, who worked from home or hybrid (home and workplace) during COVID-19 lockdown, was selected from Pakistan. The responses were recorded using a closed-ended questionnaire. Stepwise linear regression and PROCESS Macro by Hayes (2013) was used to analyze the data. It was revealed that technostress, instead of having adverse effects, had a positive effect on employee’s performance and both training and one’s creative self-efficacy significantly moderated the relationship. As the main finding, it was revealed that the employees continued to perform well despite the prevalence of technostress. The training and one’s creative self-efficacy were useful to control the technostress and maintain the performance of instructors during COVID-19. The university administrators and employees must take technology as a positive tool for performance. The training, along with creative self-efficacy, adds to the working capacity of employees and enhances their performance.
