The concept of HR 4.0 : a literature review

Objective: The article aims to identify the degree of interest and consider HR 4.0 issues in scientific research. This approach enables the analysis of the existing body of work to prepare for future empirical research by gathering relevant resources of knowledge available on this subject, as well as by varying research directions. Research Design & Methods: The study adopted formal approaches and systematic methods to locate, select, evaluate, summarise, and report the references collected in a literature review. Articles were analysed using the VOSviewer software (version 1.6.19), which is a tool used to construct and visualise bibliometric networks. Findings: The concept of HR 4.0 forms a separate cluster directly related to the concept of Industry 4.0, and only through this path is it shaped by other semantic determinants. This indicates a lack of detailed analysis of the concept and thus probably of the entire concept itself. In the future, from the perspective of the HR 4.0 concept, the HR function will implement specific tools, such as cybernetic influences, digitalisation of human resource management (HRM), remote HRM, human – machine interface skills, human – strategic organisational links, and human – technology interface competences. Implications & Recommendations: To date, researchers have focused on technological tools supporting human resource management processes, hence, most references have been identified with the concept of e-HRM. On the other hand, if we take the concept of Industry 4.0 as a starting point, then based on its consequences, it will also be possible in the future to analyse the relationship between the HR function and Industry 5.0. Contribution & Value Added: There is a wide cognitive gap in the research on the concept of HR 4.0, and the information obtained from research places humans at the centre of Industry 4.0 alongside technology and organisation

DIGITALLY TRANSFORMING ORGANISATIONS: A REVIEW OF CHANGE MODELS OF INDUSTRY 4.0

Managers understand the digital transformation, but do not always know how to apply it in their organisation, and how to manage the changes it introduces. Moreover, publications on the sub-ject of the digital transformation often focus on the assessment of the current position of an organ-isation, or on technological aspects. The question of “how” to support managers in the organisa-tional change remains open. This paper aims at analysing this gap by reviewing publications sug-gesting change models, including models mentioning steps or stages of transformation. Results show no publication has studied a business-wide transformation; most focus on a few subjects such as business model and processes. Furthermore, structured approaches to change manage-ment are suggested, which is little appropriate in a constantly changing environment. Finally, a few authors suggest the development of dynamic capabilities could provide basis for a successful transformation. We suggest that both structured methods and developing capabilities are neces-sary, but flexibility is required in the change management approach due to the uncertainty of the environment
