人们越来越关注“区块链”作为一种关键的技术创新，可能会改变广泛的经济和组织。区块链，也被称为“分布式账本技术（DLT）”，最初是作为一种支持比特币的平台技术而创建的。比特币和类似的数字货币是由世界各地的匿名参与者（同行）发行和维护的。尽管区块链的开发是为了支持比特币，但人们认为它不仅可以用于货币，还可以用于从数字内容到真实的财产的广泛资产。此外，该技术的发展使区块链能够作为一个计算平台，在分散的网络中传递软件代码，最终作为一个“联网”或“分散”的计算机工作。目前的研究主要集中在比特币或类似数字货币的影响和挑战上，但对基础区块链技术的影响研究有限。另一方面，区块链有可能影响经济的各个方面，如中介服务、数字货币、组织结构、数据管理、微交易和新兴产业。其中，本文重点关注区块链如何影响组织结构，并定量分析哪些职业最适合去中心化自治组织（DAO）。O*NET数据的定量分析表明，三个主要的职业集群是最适合DAO的：“IT专家”，“经纪人任务”和“信息处理职业”。
There is a growing attention to “Blockchain” as a key technological innovation likely to change a wide spectrum of the economy and organizations. Blockchain, also referred to as “Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)”, was initially created as a platform technology to enable Bitcoin. Bitcoin and similar digital currencies are issued and maintained by anonymous participants (peers) around the world. Although blockchain was developed to enable Bitcoin, there is a perception that it can be used not only for currencies but also for a wide range of assets, from digital content to real property. In addition, the development of the technology has enabled blockchain to work as a computing platform which conveys software codes in a decentralized network, eventually working as a “networked” or “decentralized” computer. The current prior studies are concentrated on the impact and challenges of Bitcoin or similar digital currencies, but the studies on the impact of the fundamental blockchain technology are limited. On the other hand, blockchain has a possibility to affect wide aspects of the economy, such as intermediary services, digital currency, organizational structures, data management, microtransactions, and newly created industry. Among them, this paper focuses on how blockchain may affect organizational structures and quantitatively analyses which occupations are most suitable for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO). The quantitative analysis with O*NET data reveals that three main clusters of occupations are the most suitable for DAO: “IT experts”, “Brokerage tasks”, and “Information handling occupations”.
