The purpose of this
study was to develop a model of the relationship between the use of digital
technologies (DTs), employee job satisfaction (EJS), employee organization
commitment (EOC), and employee job performance (EJP). A quantitative research
design was adopted, and a closed-ended questionnaire survey was used to collect
data from four project-driven engineering organizations. 148 valid responses
were obtained. The partial least squares structural equation modeling was used
to analyze the quantitative data. The results showed that the use of DTs
significantly influenced EJS, EOC, and EJP. EJS substantially affected EOC and
EJP. However, EOC trivially impacted EJP. EJS complementarily mediated the
relationship between the use of DTs and EJP and between the use of DTs and EOC.
EOC fully mediated this relationship between the use of DTS and EJP and between
EJS and EJP. The research presents a unique nexus model for successful digital
transformation initiatives for engineering organizations.
