Abstract

The digital transformation, which has been implemented with the term of Industry 4.0, provides great advantages for the manufacturing industries, while also creating effects on the employment structure and therefore on social life. While current statistical data paint a negative picture on women's participation in the workforce and career development, it is critically important how this new age will affect women's business life. The aim of this study is to seek an answer to the question of how digital transformation affects the quality of work life of women professionals in the Industry 4.0 environment. According to the findings, digitalization reduces the pressure and stress felt by women professionals while improving their career satisfaction, general well-being, power to control the job, working conditions, and family-work-life balance. Thanks to digital transformation tools, the quality of work life of women professionals increases, and this situation positively affects their quality of life and happiness.
