Abstract

Rapid development of artificial intelligence applications and widespread digital transformation are driving the need for employees to learn digital skills. The body of research on digital skills that working professionals need to thrive in an uncertain and ever-evolving workforce is fast accumulating. Although there have been literature reviews on the nature and types of such digital skills, an integrative overview of how digital skills are acquired remains lacking. This systematic literature review seeks to close the gap by focusing on digital skilling. A total of 39 journal articles published between January 2010 and June 2022 were identified using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. Based on thematic coding of the articles, eleven digital skilling approaches were identified and conceptually organized into four categories. Findings regarding the contextual factors affecting digital skilling and impacts of digital skilling indicate an emerging framework of digital skilling. Emerging interests and opportunities for future research related to virtual worlds, learning analytics, and blockchain are discussed.

工作成人的数字技能：系统回顾

人工智能应用的快速发展和广泛的数字化转型推动了员工学习数字技能的需求。为了在不确定和不断发展的劳动力队伍中茁壮成长，在职专业人员所需的数字技能方面的研究成果正在迅速积累。尽管已有文献综述了此类数字技能的性质和类型，但仍缺乏对数字技能获取方式的综合概述。本系统性文献综述旨在通过关注数字技能来弥补这一空白。我们采用系统综述和元分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）框架，对 2010 年 1 月至 2022 年 6 月间发表的 39 篇期刊论文进行了识别。在对文章进行主题编码的基础上，确定了 11 种数字技能培养方法，并在概念上将其分为四类。关于影响数字技能的背景因素和数字技能的影响的研究结果表明，数字技能框架正在形成。此外，还讨论了与虚拟世界、学习分析和区块链有关的新兴趣和未来研究机会。
