This volume consists of 12 chapters on the impact of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), and its increasing digitization of the value chain and the resulting interconnection of people, objects, and systems inside and beyond organizations, on human resource management activities. Scholars and specialists working in human resource management, organizational design, and related fields in Europe, North America, and Australia describe how Industry 4.0 challenges human resource management to provide value for new smart organizations in which work overtakes organizational boundaries and human-machine collaboration offers a new advantages; how the workplace digital transformation requires a shift of traditional human resources practices to support the changing employee-organization relationship, in which employees can work anywhere, do not have an official working time, and can cooperate with people inside and outside organization: and how the human resources department should have a more human-centered approach that supports the implementation of Industry 4.0 in a socially sustainable way. They illustrate the progression from e-HRM (electronic human resource management) to HRM 4.0 and assess the academic and business achievements in the field, as well as recent developments. Chapters discuss the labels of smart industry, fourth industrial revolution, and Industry 4.0; the possible outcomes of adopting e-HRM for sustaining business performance, strategic value, and the distribution of people management activities; the possible role of e-HRM in dealing with the deconstruction of hierarchy; the use of relational e-HRM tools in gig work; the role of human resources managers in high-potential talent identification using talent management information technologies; the use of blockchains, social media, and analytics in human resources; and smart working.
