Digital transformation, defined as the adoption and application of emerging digital technologies, is becoming a growing trend. However, the academic literature still lacks a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of these technologies in human resource management (HRM) at organisational and individual levels from the perspective of sustainable employability. This study, therefore, aims to systematise relevant studies from 2019 to 2024 that were published in the top HRM, general management and information systems journals. We extracted 86 articles related to digital technologies, HRM and general management from the perspective of sustainable employability and identified two prevailing themes: (i) a human-centred approach and (ii) a changing perception of work. From these two themes, we derive four perspectives on digital transformation and sustainable employability: organisational, leadership, employee–employer and employee’s self-view perspectives.
