Abstract

Industry 4.0 is a result of technological evolution and is intended to promote technological transformations in industry at different levels. The impact in human employment has been perceived as a major threat and is a matter of concern. Some authors argue that automation will bring unimaginable changes as soon as computers get more intelligence and as machines become able to perform complex tasks more efficiently than humans. However, technological progress is also pointed out as a stimulus for human-beings to develop the competencies that differentiate them from the machines. In this context, this study aims to explore the impacts of adopting Industry 4.0 technologies on work. The results of a comprehensive literature review provide an integrated perspective to identify and understand such impacts, analysing them in four categories: evolution of employment and creation of new jobs, human-machine interaction, new competencies creation / development, and, organizational and professional changes

工业4.0对工作的影响:综合文献和对未来的思考

工业4.0是技术演进的结果，旨在促进不同层次工业的技术变革。对人类就业的影响被认为是一个重大威胁，是一个令人关切的问题。一些作者认为，一旦计算机变得更加智能，机器能够比人类更有效地执行复杂的任务，自动化将带来难以想象的变化。然而，技术进步也被指出是人类发展与机器区分开来的能力的刺激因素。在此背景下，本研究旨在探讨采用工业4.0技术对工作的影响。综合文献综述的结果提供了一个综合的视角来识别和理解这些影响，并将其分为四个类别进行分析:就业的演变和新工作的创造，人机交互，新能力的创造/发展，以及组织和专业的变化
