The frequency of technology use is an important factor that can significantly influence employees’ well-being and the perceived quality of their work life in an ever-changing digital workplace. The introduction of new technologies affects the lives of employees. It is therefore important how employees themselves perceive new technologies and the need to digitalize their work tasks. Previous studies have focused more on technology adoption or quality of work life separately. The main aim of the article is to present the results of analyses on how the frequency of technology use is related to employees’ perception of digitalization in their workplace, as well as the impact these factors have on their perceived quality of work life. This study simultaneously examines the impact of perceptions of technological change and frequency of technology use on quality of work life in the context of medium-sized and large industrial enterprises in Slovakia. In this way, it is possible to better understand the connection between digitalization and employee well-being. The research tool was a questionnaire that focused on the perceived quality of work life of employees and questions related to the perception of digitalization and to the frequency of technology use. Hypothesis testing was processed using IBM SPSS version 25 software. Considering the results, it can be stated that a positive perception of technological changes and regular use of technology in the workplace are related to a higher level of quality of work life perceived by employees. The results can be used for multiple strategic and practical applications in organizational development and human-centered approaches to digital transformation.
