Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to present the prospective changes in human-organization relation in enterprises caused by the technological progress, the progressive global digital transformation of tools and processes in particular, and to define the competences which should be currently developed in order to maximize future competence matching. The paper indicates groundbreaking innovations in the concept of Industry 4.0. It shows the most significant changes in organizations caused by the fourth industrial revolution. The main focus was the human-organization relation. Prospective changes in the functions of employees and in the scope of competence needs of enterprises were determined in the HR area. It was based on the literature analysis and the results of empirical, primary and secondary research.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A cyber-physical system is a combination of hardware, software and communication elements, with a particular emphasis on communication. The idea is for machines to become more intelligent: they would communicate with each other, use shared data and create their own “social networks”.

  2. 2.

    The Future Industry Platform Foundation bill was adopted by the Polish government in October the 23rd 2018.

  3. 3.

    For example, the Polish company Budmimex, which employs almost 5,000 employees, intends to use a chatbot in the recruitment process, with which candidates will be able to communicate via a facebook Messenger. A digital recruiter will ask every applicant about their skills, knowledge of foreign languages and financial expectations. Responses will be compared with the employer’s requirements and capabilities – an objective assessment of candidates. Those of whom the robot accepts, will receive invitations for interviews in the real world.

  4. 4.

    For the time being, the horizon 2030 is indicated. Until then, abilities such as: intuition, thinking and emotional intelligence are characteristic only for people. However, it cannot be excepted that in the long term, machines will also be characterized by them.

  5. 5.

    Research conducted within the framework of a scientific project “The acceleration method of development of transversal competences in the students’ practical training process” – http://www.awt.org.pl/projekty/o-projekcie/?lang=en. The project leader was Poznan University of Technology – a higher education institution, and the partners include: Czestochowa University of Technology (represented, among others, by the Authors of the present paper), Wroclaw University of Economy, Western Chamber of Industry and Commerce, in Gorzow Wielkopolski, Centria - ammattikorkeakoulu (Finland), JEDU Jokilaaksojen koulutuskuntayhtymä (Finland), Univerza v Mariboru (Slovenia) and Univerzita Mateja Bela v Banskej Bystrici (Slovakia). The project was conducted within the Erasmus+ programme – the key action: Cooperation for innovation and good practice. Project implementation time: from October the 1st 2015 to August the 31st 2018. The main aim of the project was to develop and implement an innovative method accelerating the development of students' transversal competences by improving the practical education use. In the project the analyses were narrowed down to four transversal competences (the effect of the adopted project assumptions): entrepreneurship, creativity, communicativeness and teamwork. The author of this paper was a research team member.
