ABSTRACT
Industry is one of the primary drivers of economic growth. However, the advent of modern technology and the increasing complexity of products and processes have a direct influence on industrial enterprises and personnel. Critics of the Industry 4.0 paradigm emphasised its technocratic digitalization approach and focus on new technologies. As a result, Industry 5.0 a new industrial paradigm emerged quickly, sparking a dispute concerning the logic and goals underlying its implementation. Industry 5.0, a development of the current Industry 4.0 paradigm, places more focus on the importance of the worker in the production process. Managers are encouraged to embrace a human-centered perspective by means of the Industry 5.0 framework. This involves highlighting organizational requirements including thorough understanding, inclusive change management, efficient leadership techniques, and procedures for ongoing learning and innovation. The absence of adequate research highlights the necessity to examine the relationship between Digital Transformation practices and the sustainable performance of Human Resource Management in context to Industry 5.0. By using the co-worker ship technique, this study seeks to develop guidelines for the human-centered use of digital technology. In addition, the paper seeks to promote an industrial environment that is more productive, inclusive, and sustainable by putting workers’ involvement and well-being first while achieving economic growth simultaneously.
