Abstract:Breaking through the limitations of current research on the influencing factors of individual digital ability, which mainly focuses on a single factor and lacks analysis of the influencing factors of digital ability of enterprise employees, considering the combined effect of multiple factors on outcome variables, utilizing the advantages of combining qualitative and quantitative research, revealing the factors and pathways that affect the digital ability of enterprise employees. Select 53 interviewees, first use the coding method of grounded theory to extract the key factors that affect the digital ability of enterprise employees, and then use the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to conduct a configuration analysis of the impact path from a configuration perspective. The results show that the digital ability of enterprise employees is the result of multiple factors, mainly including individual, organizational, and technological levels. These three factors are used as conditional variables to obtain four types of impact paths: self driven, comprehensive collaborative, environmental impact, and technology driven. Among them, the impact of self driven and comprehensive collaborative paths is much greater than that of environmental impact and technology driven paths. Therefore, in improving employee digital abilities, enterprises should focus on employee self motivation or effectively leverage the coordination and integration of personal, organizational, and technical factors. At the same time, they should objectively analyze the current situation of employee teams, organizations, and technical factors based on their own reality and take targeted measures.
