From the perspective of business process reengineering, this paper analyzes the impact of digital transformation on labor productivity in enterprises and its underlying mechanisms. The study finds that digital transformation significantly enhances labor productivity in enterprises, with both the application of digital technologies and innovation in digital technology scenarios having a notable positive effect. Furthermore, digital transformation improves labor productivity mainly by optimizing production management processes, reducing human resource redundancy, enhancing the efficiency of human resource utilization, and improving internal control mechanisms to enhance decision-making efficiency. The effects of digital transformation on labor productivity are more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises that are highly dependent on their industrial chains. Further analysis shows that the level of industry monopoly and the overall digitalization level of the industry play a moderating role in the process by which digital transformation affects labor productivity.
This paper, based on unstructured data, examines the outcomes and impact mechanisms of digitalization from the perspective of technological advancement and institutional evolution, providing empirical evidence for the role of digitalization in promoting economic quality and efficiency. The study finds that digitalization contributes to the improvement of regional economic development efficiency. Its economic impact primarily manifests in the transformation of traditional value creation models and the enhancement of marketization levels. The digital economy, by activating digital platforms, alleviates the problem of information asymmetry, thereby enhancing the standardization of market transactions and improving economic efficiency.
