Workers, here come the third type of workers \u2013 more entrepreneurial in the 4.0 era than mere order-takers<\/p>\n
The report commissioned by Federmeccanica examines changes among employees<\/p>\n
The traditional distinction between manual and white-collar workers \u2013 the division between employees who carry out tasks and managers who give orders \u2013 is a thing of the past. Today, we are coming to terms with knowledge and technology. This has given rise to a third type of worker, who are demanding greater autonomy, greater involvement and different working and contractual models from companies. These are the so-called \u2018entrepreneurial workers\u2019 \u2013 workers who are developing characteristics more akin to self-employment, and who are at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution. This is the finding of the third edition of the Labour Monitor, an analytical study designed to chart changes in workers\u2019 attitudes and work cultures, carried out by Community Media Research on behalf of Federmeccanica.<\/p>\n
