Abstract

The Industry 4.0 is being characterized by the incorporation of emerging information technologies into the production environment, promoting substantial gains in productivity and flexibility, and transforming the nature of industrial work. More than that, its impacts reach the entire business, political, economic and social sphere, which means that, not by chance; it is being considered as the fourth industrial revolution. From this perspective, this article aims to understand and present the characteristics, potentialities and challenges of the Industry 4.0, in order to analyze its possible implications for work organization. In order to do so, a systematic review of the literature was conducted applying the technique of systematic review. The results show four main impacts: (1) the increase in technological unemployment, in contrast to creation of more qualified jobs; (2) the need for workers to develop a range of skills to maintain their employability; (3) a greater interaction between man and machine; and (4) transformation in socio-professional relationships.
