With the arrival of the digital era, workplaces are undergoing radical changes, and digitalization not only enhances work efficiency but also significantly influences employees' workplace well-being. To investigate the correlation between workplace digitization and employees' workplace well-being, based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, job demands and digital anxiety are introduced as mediating variables, and a dual-mediation model is constructed to explore the specific mechanism through which workplace digitization affects workplace well-being. A three-stage follow-up survey was conducted to collect data from 382 valid samples for statistical analysis, and the results showed that: (1) Workplace digitization positively impacts workplace well-being; (2) job demands and digital anxiety mediate the association between workplace digitization and workplace well-being. (3) workplace digitization reduces job demands and digital anxiety, which enhances employees' workplace well-being. These findings provide theoretical guidance on how management practices can enhance employee workplace well-being.
