Abstract
This study explores the impact of disruptive innovations—technological advancements in transforming business practices—on employees' careers, with a focus on Nigeria. While disruptive innovations enhance industrialisation, globalization and efficiency, their influence on employee roles, skills, and job security have been under examined, especially in developing countries, thereby changing narrative of the future of work. Using a survey methodology and analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data, the study finds that respondents are generally aware of disruptive innovations, though adoption varies among organizations. The results indicate positive effects on employees’ roles and skills but highlight the need for ongoing reskilling and upskilling. Thus, the conclusion is that stakeholders, such as job seekers, business owners, employees, and policymakers, will be aided in making informed decision regarding disruptive innovations. The study suggests that future studies should model employee development in response to these technological changes in the Nigerian context.
