The healthcare sector in Ghana is undergoing significant transformation, driven by the rapid adoption of digital technologies. This study explores the intricate relationships between digital transformation, technological readiness, leadership support, and turnover intentions among healthcare professionals in Ghana, with a specific focus on the mediating and moderating roles of HR practices and psychological contract. Drawing on social exchange theory, the research investigates how these factors contribute to employees' perceptions and their subsequent decisions to remain with or leave an organization. A survey method was employed, collecting data from 509 healthcare workers using convenience sampling. The study utilized covariance-based structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to test hypotheses and analyze causal complexities. The findings reveal that both digital transformation and technological readiness positively influence employees' perception of HR practices, which in turn significantly reduces turnover intentions. Leadership support was also found to strengthen the positive effects of digital transformation on HR practices, highlighting the critical role of effective leadership in promoting a supportive work environment during digital transitions. The study’s results emphasize the importance of aligning HR practices with technological advancements to enhance employee retention, particularly in the healthcare sector. This research contributes to the literature on digital transformation and HR practices by providing empirical evidence from a developing country context, offering valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare managers aiming to reduce turnover rates amidst ongoing digitalization efforts. It is among the first to use both CB-SEM and fsQCA to explore these complex relationships.

In this work, the main trends in research and publication activity in digital transformation in the world and Ukraine are analyzed using meta- and bibliometric analysis. For this purpose, bibliometric data on scientific publications on the topic of digital transformations in the Google Scholar and Scopus databases were selected, which were additionally analyzed using the VOSviewer software package. Based on filtering the results obtained, an array was formed that included 366 scientific publications for 2019–2023 in Ukrainian in the Google Scholar database and 3,703 scientific publications in English for 2020–2023 in the Scopus database. Dynamic time analysis revealed a significant surge of scientific interest in the topic of digital transformations in recent years, while structural analysis revealed the multi-industry structure of existing research. The creation of bibliographic maps of keywords and publication maps allowed us to form an idea of the main thematic areas of research in the context of digital transformations and their opinion leaders. The data obtained became the basis for formulating recommendations for further areas of research in digital transformation, in particular, on the development of a unified roadmap for the digital transformation of education at different educational qualification levels and for various specialties. This will contribute to the formation of a single systemic approach to the digital transformation of Ukraine as a guarantee for the state’s sustainable development, well-being, strengthening of national security, speeding up the pace of European integration processes, as well as promoting national interests at the international level.
