Advanced HRM practices and digital personnel for digital energetics based on the technologies of Industry 4.0

Digital energetics is the energy economy in which the digital technological mode dominates, which implies the active use of the leading digital technologies of Industry 4.0 (e.g., robots, big data and AI) and digital personnel (highly qualified employees with skills to use the leading technologies).

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, like all the previous ones, assumes that systemic changes are taking place in economic systems, which are not only technological but also social. It is advisable to consider the latter systematically from the standpoint of Stakeholder Theory. From the perspective of employees (supply in the energy segment of the labor market), deep technological shifts in the energy sector increase the risks of unemployment and cause uncertainty about the prospects for the disclosure of human potential.
