Abstract
The digital age has brought a degree of convenience to both organizations and individuals, as well as some negative effects. How to seek to benefit from the use of digital technology and to avoid its adverse effects as much as possible is an important topic to be discussed. We used literature analysis to conduct a detailed analysis of the work characteristics of female knowledge workers in the digital context in detail from the aspects of work-family conflict, the complexity of digital technology, data security, entrepreneurial willingness, and career growth. It enriches the knowledge of enterprises about the work characteristics of female knowledge workers in the digital context, and improves the scientific decision-making ability of management for enterprises, which can provide certain references for enterprises to improve the satisfaction and happiness of female knowledge workers. The management implication is that providing more resources and support to female knowledge workers and letting them feel more attention and respect from the organization can improve their morale and work motivation, thus contributing to the development and growth of the enterprise.
