Emerging Technology Skills and Employability Among Malaysian Accountants with the Moderating Role of Organisational Support: Towards Research Agenda

Abstract

In the fast-changing digital era, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and data analytics have significantly changed the accounting profession. These changes have contributed to the concept of employability and reshaped the expectations of accountants’ roles. The advancements in these emerging technologies will replace routine tasks and, at the same time, create new ones. Therefore, it is essential for accountants to improve their skills to secure their current positions and, hence, enhance their employability. This article explores the effects of emerging technology skills to Malaysian accountants’ employability within the organisations, with a focus on the moderating role of organisational support.
