“…So, employees' relatively poor quali cations and lack of such technologies' acceptance based on this knowledge gap becomes a great challenge for rms when attempting to implement Industry 4.0. These results are in agreement with [42,43]. highlight that when current employees have low quali cations in the eld of technologies, it is challenging for them to develop the cognitive and physical skills to run these technologies, and because of this, they are not prepared ready to accept Industry 4.0.…”

Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution) involves swift and ongoing technological changes affecting industries and societies because of advanced automation, communication and data exchange, and global connectivity. While its implementation is necessary for organizational success in the face of international competition, many challenges arise with its opportunities. This research is an investigation of the challenges (employee quali cation, employee acceptance, organizational, and production t) and opportunities (strategic, operational, environmental, and social) in the implementation of Industry 4.0 in public shareholding manufacturing companies in Jordan. A questionnaire-based approach for primary data collection with analysis via Smart-PLS was taken. The results revealed that organizational and production t challenges, strategic opportunities, operational opportunities, and environmental and social opportunities are positively associated with Industry 4.0 implementation, while employee quali cation and acceptance challenges are negatively associated. The study explained that there is not enough knowledge about Industry 4.0. This study offers guidance for establishing regulations related to Industry 4.0 implementation by removing challenges and adopting opportunities. Also, this study is an approach for further research about the development of communications in Jordan and global connectivity.

“…These employees resist the use of new technologies and the practices associated with them. This resistance may be linked to the uncertainty about the clear assessment of the benefits and gains linked to investment in technology, which usually appear in the long term (Bakhtari et al. , 2020).…”

“…As it is a new concept, there is a lack of a reference The adoption of Industry 4.0 architecture pattern, which shows how to carry out the implementation process of I4.0 (Kamble et al, 2018). The few initiatives found in the literature show that I4.0 is being introduced by different governments and companies in their way (Bakhtari et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThis research aims to evaluate the impact of barriers experienced by Brazilian companies in adopting Industry 4.0 (I4.0).Design/methodology/approachAs a methodological approach, the survey method was used, adopting the use of the questionnaire for data collection. From the feedback of 99 companies (with an index of 80%), quantitative analyzes of the data were carried out with the aid of factor analysis and linear regression to validate the proposed structural model.FindingsThe barriers construct does not impact the I4.0 adoption construct. Directly evaluating the effect of the variables that make up the barriers construct in the I4.0 adoption construct, it was observed that three barriers affect effectively the adoption of I4.0: technological infrastructure; financial constraint and lack of understanding of the benefits of I4.0.Research limitations/implicationsAs a limitation, the research was conducted only in the Brazilian context, requiring the development of future studies in other countries that can strengthen the findings of this research.Practical implicationsIn addition, the results achieved provide relevant insights into public policymakers and business managers, helping them to deeply understand the barriers that impact the adoption of I4.0. This facilitates the propagation of I4.0 concepts in the context of Brazilian companies and in the formulation of public policies adapted to each sector, allowing a more assertive action in the face of the types of barriers experienced by organizations during the adoption of I4.0.Social implicationsThe findings can help practitioners and policymakers to understand in detail this new industrial model and the difficulties that prevent its implementation.Originality/valueFrom an extensive literature review, no studies were identified that statistically validate which barriers effectively affect the adoption of I4.0. This research is a pioneer in proposing a structural model to analyze the barriers experienced by workers during the adoption of I4.0, exploring Brazilian companies, from different economic sectors and sizes. It is noteworthy that the literature still focuses efforts on manufacturing companies.

“…For one, adults frequently need to learn new knowledge and skills in the workplace and thus must have the requisite learning skills to do so (Saniuk et al, 2021). A lack of learning abilities has been identified as one of the challenges for workforce development in Industry 4.0 (Bakhtari et al, 2020;Ozkan-Ozen and Kazancoglu, 2022). For another, adults' learning skills positively promote working performance, self-management capacities and sustainable employability ( Van der Heijden et al, 2016).…”

Purpose Utilizing datasets of Ecuador, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Mexico and Peru from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies survey from 2017 to 2018, this study aimed to develop and validate a profile indicating core workplace skills in developing countries.Design/methodology/approach DeVellis' guide of scale development navigated the development of the profile. Multiple techniques including item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were used on a sample of 7,166 participants to validate the profile of core workplace skills in developing countries.Findings A resultant five-dimensional profile with 18 items was developed: oral communication skills, reading skills, math skills, information and communication technology skills and learning skills. The estimates of composite reliability showed the profile was reliable. The validity estimates of the profile were obtained from several sources including content, convergent, discriminative and construct validity. The measurement invariance was also held for the profile.Originality/value Based on the researcher's knowledge, the study is the first attempt to develop a profile to indicate core workplace skills in developing countries. The profile theoretically framed the core workplace skills in developing countries and provides a new measure for identifying, evaluating and thus improving core workplace skills in developing countries for different stakeholders in the era of Education 4.0.
