Abstract
The advent of digital technologies has revolutionised the
modern workplace, reshaping how work is performed,
communicated, and conceptualised across generations. This
paper examines cross-generational perspectives on digital
technologies at work, employing topic modelling (LDA) to
analyse an extensive body of academic literature. Our aim is to
uncover the intellectual structure of the field and explore how
different generations engage with digital technologies,
highlighting shared and unique experiences, challenges, and
opportunities. Topic modelling has uncovered the intricate
relationship between digital technologies and the workforce.
Our analysis highlights the complexity of workplace digital
integration and how generational groups adapt to and are
influenced by these changes. This study stresses the importance
of generational perspectives in the digital transformation of the
workplace and provides valuable insights for managers, policy
makers, technology designers, educators, and healthcare
providers. Ultimately, digital technologies serve as drivers of
innovation while posing ethical, inclusivity, and sustainability
challenges in a multigenerational workforce.
