Synopsis
This chapter examines the effects of digital transformation on career management within a conceptual framework. Digitalization is addressed not merely as a process of technological innovation, but as a multi-dimensional phenomenon that also transforms organizational structures, human resources practices, and individuals' understanding of careers. The chapter first discusses the changes brought about by digital transformation in the business world, and then scrutinizes the transformation in career management approaches, employee expectations, and the human resources perspective. Continuous learning, flexibility, digital literacy, and individual-focused career strategies are evaluated as prominent reflections of digitalization. On the other hand, issues such as algorithmic bias, violation of privacy, and pressures on work-life balance also emerge as risks that need to be considered. In conclusion, this chapter has analyzed the multi-dimensional effects of digital transformation on career management and demonstrated that success depends on balancing technological advancement with human values.
