THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS REGARDING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN HUMAN WORKERS AND ROBOTS AT WORK

Abstract

Faced as we are by an unpredictable world of work, we have a greater need than ever for empirical studies on new and imaginative ways of organizing, rewarding, and managing work – matched with scientific knowledge about causality and complexity. Economic reality denotes that society is in a “digital revolution” and more and more activities previously carried out directly by human force are now being replaced by various computer programs, or by automating technical processes. It is expected that by 2030 many jobs will be filled by robots or devices, people will be replaced, but new types of jobs will be created. Among the jobs that will disappear in the next 25 years are accountants, agricultural workers and even construction workers. Soon, humans will compete with robots in the job market. The job market is changing radically in the next decade. Robots are increasingly present in our lives and we must prepare for the time when they will take over some of our jobs.
