ABSTRACT
Industry 4.0 (IR 4.0) is the implementation of Cyber Physical Systems smart manufacturing for industrial production. Its impact in the manufacturing sector and other technology sectors is well documented. However, the impact to the human resource sector is understudied. Managing the human capital of IR 4.0 is not an easy task since it requires continuous innovation and learning dependent on people and enterprise’s capabilities. Personality profiling strategy for appropriate worker screening approaches can play a vital role in the development of dynamic capabilities in an organization. This paper aims to present worker screening approach using systematic psychometrics profiling that promotes a climate of innovation and learning in organizations, and hence facilitates businesses matching the pace of IR 4.0. The overview employs the application of Holland Individual–Environmental Congruency career interest concept and adapts various psychometrics profiling approaches in proposing an integrated personality framework as an initiative towards an adequate systematic screening strategy for recruitment, placement, succession planning, and planning organizations’ personnel development training for IR 4.0.
