Abstract

This research aims to develop and test a model for strengthening digital competence to become a successful employee career by considering formal personal/internal factors, namely digital competence and digital literacy, where these formal factors result from interventions needed in the era of society 5.0. Data was collected using a questionnaire from 67 administrative staff at hospitals in Semarang City, and analysis was carried out using SmartPLS. The research results show that digital literacy greatly influences digital competence. However, branching Literacy, socio-emotional Literacy and real thinking skill literacy do not affect digital competence. In the end, digital competency is proven to increase career readiness in the future. These findings recommend that institutions develop specific practices and policies regarding digital competence to create intrinsic and extrinsic career success.
