Comprehensive Review of the Impact of Advanced Technology Adoption on Work and Continuous Improvement

Abstract

Technology advances are changing how companies and their employees do their respective jobs. The intervention of technology has revolutionized the way jobs are conceptualized, discussed, performed, and delivered. This analysis aims to deliver a summary of the impact of the adoption of advanced technology on job characteristics and the impact on job demand and continuous improvement, which can act as a reference for theorists and practitioners to map, research, and analyze the effect of technology on work systems and productivity. By presenting a systematic review of the literature along with several avenues for future research, we hope that this research will contribute to job demand and ongoing research. A total of 30 articles were reviewed from a total generated article database of 335, which were systematically selected from different academic databases between 2001 and 2021. The review signifies the role of technology in influencing work complexities, privacy, workload, workflow interruptions, manual work, role expectations, and developmental opportunities. This study is pivotal in substantiating the influence of technology in work systems, besides furnishing variables and themes for further studies in the area.
