Automatization as a Challenge for Employment of Skilled Manpower: An Empirical Investigation from HRM perspective

Abstract

The process of using technology and machines to carry out jobs that were previously completed by humans is known as automation, sometimes known as automatization. While automation offers many advantages, like higher production, efficiency, and precision, it has also made hiring qualified labor more difficult. The displacement of human workers by automation is one of its biggest problems. Machines are more capable of carrying out jobs that were formerly the responsibility of skilled employees as technology advances. For those who are unable to retrain or upgrade their skills in order to meet the needs of the evolving work market, this displacement may result in unemployment and underemployment. Deskilling might also result from automation. Workers may no longer have the opportunity to apply and develop their abilities when more duties are taken over by machines. As a result, the caliber of the job may suffer, and important abilities and knowledge may be lost. The requirement for humans to constantly adapt to new technologies and machines presents another difficulty brought on by automation. In order to be competitive in the employment market, workers must constantly learn new skills and methods of operation due to the quick rate of technological change. Automation does, however, offer opportunities as well as obstacles to the employment of skilled labor. Workers may learn to work alongside machines and take advantage of automation with the correct training and assistance. Additionally, automation may open up new career prospects in industries like data analysis, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Overall, even though the employment of skilled labor is hampered by automation, it is crucial for governments, companies, and workers to adapt to and accept these changes in order to ensure a smooth transition to the future of work.
