Abstract(s)
Depois de três revoluções industriais surge, atualmente, uma 4ª a que se dá o nome de Indústria 4.0. Caracterizada pela capacidade de replicar o mundo físico em ambientes virtuais, proporcionando a recolha e tratamento de grandes volumes de dados em tempo real, este novo contexto de produção vem tornar os processos de tomada de decisão mais céleres e encurtar as estruturas organizacionais.
Assim, são evidentes as mudanças nos sistemas económicos e sociais atuais, que tomam a forma de algo radical e disruptivo. Estas mudanças são, portanto, significativas e tendem a impactar na paisagem do emprego nos próximos anos. Desta forma, o presente estudo procura responder à questão de investigação: “De que forma é que a força de trabalho deverá alinhar as suas competências para evitar a obsolescência no contexto da indústria 4.0?”.
A metodologia adotada para responder a esta questão de investigação é de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, consubstanciando-se num survey. Assim, a recolha de dados foi feita através de cinco entrevistas a cinco profissionais de áreas diferentes – um CEO; um consultor; um diretor de recursos humanos; um professor universitário; e uma socióloga – e através de um questionário aplicado a 500 jovens, com idades compreendidas entre os 16 e os 30 anos.
A principal conclusão deste estudo enquanto resposta à questão de investigação prende-se com o facto de a força de trabalho dever apostar em desenvolver capacidades intrínsecas e, atualmente, inimitáveis pelos robôs – as denominadas soft-skills – para se afirmar neste contexto cada vez mais tecnológico e ultrapassar a questão da obsolescência.
After three industrial revolutions, a fourth comes up to be named Industry 4.0. Characterized by the ability of replicating what is physical into virtual set-ups, it is able to retrieve and analyze large amounts of data in real-time. Moreover, this new production context is shaping the decision making process and organizational structures, by shortening them. Therefore, irrevocably, disruptive changes are taking place in both economic and social systems. This changes go beyond mere grasps and are going to impact deeply the workplace landscape for following years. Thus, this dissertation intends to answer the following investigation topic: “In which way does labor should re-align its competences to avoid obsolescence in the 4.0 industry context?” The methodology adopted to answer this topic is qualitative and exploratory by nature, resulting in a survey. The data sources can be split into two polls, the first: five experts placed in different industries and areas, using face-to-face interviews – a CEO, a consultant, a human resources manager, an university lecturer and a sociologist. The second: a sample of 500 individuals with ages comprised between 16 and 30 years old, to which were created and applied a questionnaire Consequently, the main conclusion of this dissertation is that workforce may develop their intrinsic capabilities, as humans, which are unique and cannot be yet copied by robôs – the so called soft-skills – to make a stand in a more technological world and surpass any possible obsolescence.
