Introduction

The scope and area of Big Data have gained significant momentum from the tandem of academics and business parlance over the last couple of decades. It assists organizations in gaining business insights, fostering a competitive edge, and transforming whole business processes (Dahiya et al., 2021; Shah, 2022; Talwar et al., 2021; Wamba & Mishra, 2017). According to McKinsey (2011), Big Data would be a unique source of improving the productivity, competitiveness, and innovation of the business organization. Similarly, McAfee et al. (2012) argued that Big Data can enhance the entire decision-making function of a firm. According to Brown et al. (2011), the reasoning behind this transformation of the entire decision-making function of a firm lies in the caliber of Big Data to change the footprint of competitiveness by fostering innovation, shifting business ecosystems, and revamping business processes.

Therefore, it is significant to study Big Data due to its enormous capability of transforming entire business processes. Scholars have argued that competitive advantage in this era comprehensively depends on……..

1.  Introduction

Today’s businesses are undergoing a massive transition from old, outdat- ed technology to new ones. The new ones are very rapidly forming, and businesses that are going to be successful must adapt to this shift. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses robotic technology to automate various repetitive tasks in business. RPA is gaining popularity due to its ability to decrease costs, streamline processes, and improve customer experiences. Another benefit of RPA software is that it may be implemented without the need for business units to learn new tools or seek information technology (IT) help, as well as without modifying the underlying IT architecture of a company. As the popularity of RPA increases, enterprises will need to integrate RPA process automation into their IT platforms. Although RPA automatics can accelerate a previously managed business process substan- tially, it may be unacceptable if applications or processes change.

Businesses utilize robotic technology to automate numerous repetitive ac- tivities via RPA. The RPA-simplified HR operational procedures include employee interactions, recruitment, selection, training and development, benefits and remuneration and………….

Introduction

Selecting a career that is a good fit for one’s personality is considered a key determinant for future success in the workplace. Different jobs are better suited to different personalities. So, one should be cautious while selecting a career (Alwis, 2018). Personality, abilities, intelligence, background, attitudes, perceptions, motivation, culture, roles they play, gender, race, and disability are all variables that distinguish individuals. These factors are the primary contributors to individual behavior. People desire to pick a profession that best suits their abilities. A career provides a person with identity and status. It boosts a person’s self-esteem, creates a sense of belonging, and makes it easier to form relationships with other members of society. For these reasons, a career is crucial for individuals. It raises the issue of the right career choice (Alkhelil, 2016).
