Abstract

Industry 5.0 is a relatively new topic and not yet well-defined. This article’s purpose is to develop understanding of Industry 5.0 by offering a new socio-centric conceptual framework. It extends prevailing perception of Industry 5.0 by integrating workforce skills, labour shortages, and eco-digital shifts. The study explores workforce skill measurement and its implementation. Three methods were combined to develop the conceptual framework: (i) review of academic and policy literature; (ii) scholarly and expert discussions; (iii) consultations with practitioners, companies and networks on Industry 5.0’s relevance. Industry 5.0 expands Industry 4.0's technology-focused approach. This new paradigm emphasises human-centricity, sustainability and resilience, infusing societal values into organisational management. Our findings suggest that, while firmly rooted in EU policy, Industry 5.0 must find integration at national levels and within pertinent ecosystems. This article introduces innovative perspectives on conceptualising and evaluating workforce skills for Industry 5.0. Mitigating skills gaps is crucial in enabling companies and employees to leverage the eco-digital shift, fostering sustainability, resilience and equity across Europe. A limitation to understanding Industry 5.0 is that policy discussions run ahead of collecting empirical data. As a consequence, one must be careful in drawing firm conclusions. While prior research underscores the need for skilled workforces in Industry 5.0, it falls short of elucidating evolving job dynamics in the Industry 5.0 transition. This article addresses this gap by examining the evolving job landscape, skills, and learning trajectories.
工业 5.0 劳动力技能概念框架:对研究、政策和实践的影响
工业 5.0 是一个相对较新的话题,目前还没有明确的定义。本文旨在通过提供一个新的以社会为中心的概念框架,加深对工业 5.0 的理解。它通过整合劳动力技能、劳动力短缺和生态数字化转变,扩展了对工业 5.0 的普遍认识。本研究探讨了劳动力技能测量及其实施。研究结合了三种方法来制定概念框架:(i) 回顾学术和政策文献;(ii) 学者和专家讨论;(iii) 就工业 5.0 的相关性咨询从业人员、公司和网络。工业 5.0 扩展了工业 4.0 以技术为中心的方法。这一新模式强调以人为本、可持续性和复原力,将社会价值观注入组织管理。我们的研究结果表明,虽然工业 5.0 牢牢扎根于欧盟政策,但必须在国家层面和相关生态系统中找到融合点。本文介绍了有关工业 5.0 劳动力技能概念化和评估的创新观点。缩小技能差距对企业和员工利用生态数字转变、促进整个欧洲的可持续性、复原力和公平至关重要。理解工业 5.0 的一个局限是,政策讨论先于经验数据的收集。因此,在得出确切结论时必须小心谨慎。虽然先前的研究强调了工业 5.0 对熟练劳动力的需求,但却未能阐明工业 5.0 转型过程中不断变化的就业动态。本文通过研究不断变化的工作环境、技能和学习轨迹,弥补了这一不足。
