Abstrakt: | Modern work in service organizations requires not only technical skills focused on the operation of information systems or information and communication technologies (ICT) (Van Deursen & Van Dijk,2014) but also digital skills and acceptance of new technology. Our research portrays the adopted level of analysis (dyad) and two-mode networks to digital skills and tasks in a specific context: the informal organizational network. The way work is actually done tends to have more to do with informal networks, as an organization’s formal structure only partially reflects how tasks are performed. This assumption inspired us to find out the differences and similarities in the networks of relationships oriented towards digital skills and employee tasks. We have adopted the two-mode network approach (cf. Ujwary-Gil, 2019), which is a fertile research perspective in social and behavioral sciences based on the relational approach to work and employees who perform tasks in the workplace or use resouces (skills) creating a structure of relationships characterized by certain regularities. The network research in the organizational context concerns social ties, such as friendship (Hunter et al., 2020), sharing information and knowledge (Che Ibrahim et al., 2019; Jenke & Pretzsch, 2021; Steffen e al., 2017; Kanska et al., 2021; Darmawan et al., 2021) or trust (Li et al., 2020; Yao et al., 2019), and less known mapping of a science and technology policy network (e.g. Kalantari et al., 2021). |
