국내 HRD 분야의 디지털 전환 관련 연구 동향 분석

Digital transformation, driven by rapid technological advancements, is fundamentally reshaping organizations and society. This study aims to analyze research trends in the field of HRD related to digital transformation by assessing the current state of research and systematically identifying major topics and evolving patterns. To achieve this, text mining and network analysis were conducted on 92 abstracts of articles published in seven South Korean HRD academic journals from 2001 to 2024. Additionally, LDA topic modeling was performed. The findings are as follows: First, key terms such as “competence”, “job”, “smart”, “change”, “evaluation” and “transfer” were identified as significant keywords, with “job” and “performance” emerging as central nodes in the overall network. Second, five major topics were derived: “Design and Evaluation of Educational Programs”, “Development of Digital Competency and Strategic Operation”, “Organizational Behavior and Leadership”, “Digital Transformation and Performance Improvement” and “Smart Systems and Digital Literacy”. The evolution of these topics over time allowed the classification of research periods into digitization, digitalization, transition, and digital transformation. This study systematically analyzed HRD research trends related to digital transformation, providing valuable insights into the field's academic landscape and offering recommendations for future research.
