Abstract

Digital transformation is necessary for enterprises in the age of digital intelligence, and exploring the impact of enterprise digital transformation on individual employees is of utmost importance. Based on the social cognitive theory, employees' digital skills are introduced as a mediating variable and team mindfulness is introduced as a moderating variable to explore the mechanism of enterprise digital transformation on employees' knowledge sharing behavior, and the hypotheses are confirmed by empirical testing through 552 valid questionnaires and a two-stage survey across time points in 52 Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, China. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the impact of enterprise digital transformation on employees' knowledge sharing behaviors, to enrich research on enterprise digital transformation at the individual employee level, and to contribute to a deeper understanding of how enterprise digital transformation affects employees' personal growth and knowledge management.
