The human resources and knowledge management integrated role in Industry 4.0/5.0: a Human-Centric Operations Management framework

Abstract

Paper aims

This paper aims to identify aspects of Human Resources (HR) and Knowledge Management (KM) in the context of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), to propose a research agenda to support a knowledge-based production management, effective knowledge retention and sharing, and support I4.0 adoption.

Originality

Mainly focusing on I4.0 technology issues, the related literature does not explore the impacts on people. This paper discusses how people, organization and society are affected and proposes a research agenda to study HR and KM within I4.0.

Research method

A Systematic Literature Review was conducted in 80 papers relating HR and KM and I4.0 implementation, focusing on the human role and required competencies for I4.0.

Main findings

The research agenda is organized in a framework including Society (Context and Sustainability), People (Workers and Managers), Organizations (Production and Service), Management Practices (HRM and Lean Process), and KM & Learning.

Implications for theory and practice

The better understanding of workers´ roles, KM and HR practices in the I4.0 contributes to the theoretical debate about promoting knowledge creation and sharing, new HR policies and decision-making. The findings provide theoretical contributions for human adaptation to I4.0, and practical contributions for managers dealing with I4.0.
