“…On a philosophical level it remains an open question, if digital, datadriven organizations impact knowledge workers in the same profound way that manufacturing workers were affected through automation [7]. Yet, a dynamized business environment and the increased inseparability of business and IT for digital value creation demand a focus on decentralized, situational IT decisions [52,53]. Our construct refinement of measuring IT dependency broadens its perspective beyond the limited consideration of the IT department's budget in favor of organization-wide business processes [14,27].…”

Traditionally, knowledge workers delivered value from complex job tasks that were determined by the amount of information they cognitively processed. In organizations practicing digital business strategies, information handling is progressively replaced by data processed for algorithmic decision support. When organizational processes are becoming increasingly data-driven, shifts in the central task component of complexity are expected. In this paper, we draw on a quantitative survey of 150 knowledge-intensive organizations in the U.S., and find that knowledge workers are perceiving increased complexity in their daily tasks, now shaped by the digital work environment. Executing a digital business strategy increases the IT dependency of business processes and emphasizes data as determinant of increased task complexity. Our research contributes to explain consequences of datafication for individual job tasks in knowledge work when organizations strategically strive to gain value from digital technologies and provides building blocks for future job design when designing for digital.

IT departments today face a substantial backlog of business innovation-related activities and struggle with a shortage of software developers. Lowcode development platforms can help solve these issues by using technology to empower end-users without programming background to participate in the software development process. This trend is referred to as "citizen development." Through six case studies, this study advances our understanding of the factors that influence organizational citizen development adoption decisions. We use an extended technologyorganization-environment (TOE) framework, which enhances the explanatory power of the base TOE framework. Our results show that multiple risk perceptions, active top management support, projectbased business-IT alignment, centralized IT governance, and business network systems influence organizational citizen development adoption decisions. Based on the results, we discuss academic and practical implications and suggestions for future research.

This article embraces a concept of bionic organization as a form of production enterprise which main attribute is an integration of digital technologies in the management processes and the production lines from the product idea to its delivery to a consumer. Digital technologies reinforce human competencies and abilities of analogous machines, playing a role of independent component of executive and production system. At the same time, digital technologies become full-fledged members of the organization, enriching it with bionic treats. An idea of full human substation in production management with digital technologies is far from being practicable, but a tendency towards this change is quite clear. The main purpose of this this article is to discover main features of bionic organization as an intermediate evolution stage on the way of full human substitution with machines and digital technologies. Additionally, the article focuses on the interconnections between bionic organization, digital transformation, digital maturity and management system. This analysis was made for a production enterprise set upon a way to deep digital transformation.
