1 Impact of Technology on Job Design Title Page and Outline for Literature Review Impact of Technology on Job Design: Organizational Design and Structure Perspectives Student Name Course Name Instructor Name Date Abstract This paper aims at reviewing the literature and assessing the effects of technology on job design, particularly focusing on organizational design and structure. The research focuses on the outcomes of the change in the working environment caused by new technologies that impacted job content, organizational performance, and employee attitudes. Now, the problem analysis reveals general trends, including rising automation, a new remote work model, and the importance of lifelong learning. Specific research findings indicate that changing organizational designs coupled with effective management of change are critical to embedding technology within job design successfully. Again, the review gives advice on how organizations should incorporate more technologies in their workplaces without compromising the employees’ health and how future research can help understand the future impacts of technology on job design.
