Digital transformation (DT) is changing work contexts and conditions at large. Employees must adapt to new work modes and organizationa l structures, while learning no vel tools and skills. Such changes are impacting employees’ well-being, which in turn affects company success. However, how DT changes the workplace and employee well-being depends on the characteristic s of the work, e.g. knowledge/office work versus field/task work. Additionally, perceptions on how DT affects well-being, particularly physical health and psychological needs, differ among employees depending on socio-demographic factors like age and parental status. Hence, this study investigates the impact of DT on well-being on two levels of analysis: industry and employee. Using sel f-determination theory and a qu alitative approach, this study applied surveys and focus groups with 36 experts from craftsmanship and from consulting. Results show different effects on various dimensions of well-being in the two industri es. Further, the effects depend on the life stages of employees and their work domains. This research offer s insights for further exploration of DT impacts and strategies for practical implementation.
