摘要

我们探讨了对数字化转型持积极态度的员工如何应对组织悖论。公司可以通过采用“两者”的方法来管理矛盾。然而,这种策略可能不适用于员工的日常工作,他们经常在矛盾的两极之间跳跃。本文利用某建筑公司转型过程中的定性数据,归纳出两类员工:跟随者和探索者。这些员工制定了介入和退出的实践,因为他们既主动又具有任务内在性,既被动又接受,这样才能继续为数字化转型做出贡献。我们阐明了揭示员工在日常工作中使用的战术实践的重要性,以便能够驾驭组织悖论,从而促进数字化转型的长期成功。

Stepping in and stepping aside: Employees navigating digital transformation paradoxes
We explore how employees with a positive attitude towards digital transformation navigate organizational paradoxes. Companies can manage paradoxes by employing a “both/and” approach. However, this strategy might not translate well to the day to day work of the employee, who jumps between tasks which often lie at opposite poles of the paradox. Using qualitative data from a construction company in the gradual process of transforming, we inductively reveal two types of employees, followers and explorers. These employees enact practices of stepping in and stepping aside, in that they are both proactive and task-intrinsic, reactive and accepting, in such a way as to be able to continue contributing to the digital transformation. We shed light on the importance of uncovering the tactical practices used by employees in their day to day work in order to be able to navigate organizational paradoxes and thus promote the long-term success of the digital transformation.
