Abstract:

The history shows, that the world is subject to constant technical changes, starting with the 1st industrial revolution to the point of the actual ongoing 4th industrial revolution. It also is unarguable that the world changes faster and innovation cycles decrease with the time as the technical development advances. The digitalization is one of the key drivers of our century and has a conspicuous influence on society and economy. A lot of researches on this topic focus mainly on the technological side and disregard the effects on organizational behavior. Therefore, and based on the actuality of the topic the authors decided to analyze the impacts and effects of the digitalization on organizational behavior and to provide an overview based on a literature review. The article is structured in three parts: first of all the definition of Organizational Behavior and digitalization were reviewed to establish a theoretical framework. Followed by the analysis of the impacts and effects of the digitalization on leadership and employees and finally the findings were summarized in a structured scheme.
