Abstract (ENG): Background: Human Resources Management (HRM) research is increasingly interested in the various employee resources to master digital transformation. The current, dynamic discourse on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model demonstrates the need for a state-of-the-art overview of validated employee resources to support the paradigm shift. Objective: This study aims to identify objective employee resources in the digital work context and map them to a context-specific resource taxonomy. Methods: The authors develop the resource taxonomy using Nickerson, Varshney & Muntermann’s (2013) empirical-to-conceptual approach. The deductive approach includes existing resource taxonomies and current JD-R literature to dimension employee resources. Results: The article presents a context-specific resource taxonomy with five dimensions: personal, work, social, organizational, and technical resources. Conclusions: The literature-based research concludes that more research on technical resources and learning-enhancing factors is required to support employees in mastering digital transformation. Our resource taxonomy is a comprehensive and expandable scientific product that serves HRM research and practice as a search heuristic.
