Abstract

This paper presents the results of polling employees of Russian state-run and private enterprises and companies on such topic as digitalization of labor relations. Respondents were asked about the pros and cons of a paperless office, digital workplaces and remote work, which, being the attributes of innovative digital economy, reshape and redefine the employer-employee relations. The survey also revealed the respondents’ opinion on who of the parties in labor relations could benefit more from digitalization, whether it could result in employee discrimination on the basis of digital skills, and whether responsibility for the acquisition of such skills lay with the employer or with the employee. The respondents were also asked whether digitalization could affect productivity and pay, the employment of retired persons or that of those approaching their retirement. The paper details and analyzes the replies from the respondents on different levels, be it top or middle managers, grassroots managers, and rank-and-file employees. The results presented herein are preliminary and do not constitute a complete analysis of how digital technology could affect labor relations.
