The impact of Internet of Things on human resource management during the fourth industrial revolution

As a revolutionary invention, the Internet is always evolving into a new type of hardware and software that makes it irresistible to anyone. The type of communication seen today is human-to-human or human-to-machine, but the Internet of Things promises a great future for the Internet, where it is machine-to-machine. The Internet of Things is defined as a paradigm in which objects with sensors, actuators and processors communicate with each other to achieve a meaningful purpose. Human resource management is a systematic approach that provides practices to support all aspects of the employee life cycle, from recruitment to exit. This article examines the impact of the Internet of Things on human resource management in the fourth industrial revolution and tries to develop a framework to understand it.

These key performance indicators are workflow, flexibility, accountability and cost-effectiveness. Workflow is a continuous input-output process in a company that can sometimes be compressed. Without the help of automation, these setups are prone to mistakes due to repetitiveness.
