Turn Digitalization and Automation to a Job Resource
Open accessAbstract
My aim with this commentary is to discuss my vision on what will determine its impact, building on Parker and Grote (2020). To my view, digitalization and automation can contribute to stimulating and “healthy” jobs, if (a) they are designed to support people’s work, (b) people are in control and can craft their use, (c) job resources are maximized and job demands are affordable, (d) the economic growth is shared among stakeholders, including employees, and (e) authorities protect employees and employment (conditions).

Digitalization and automation can contribute to stimulating and healthy jobs if their implementation is designed to increase resources and reduce demands, and if people are in control and craft their use of the system.
“Consistent with this idea, one of the authors of the JD-R model stated that”
From Algorithms as work designers: How algorithmic management influences the design of jobs (2022) · cites this paper as Demerouti, 2020
The “(Negative) Consequences and How to Avoid Them” section (page not supplied) says digitalization and automation can contribute to stimulating, healthy jobs when people can control and craft their use and job resources are maximized while demands remain affordable. The claim omits two further conditions the paper includes: sharing economic growth with employees and protecting employees and employment conditions. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
