Industrial Revolution 4.0; Job Competition; Robot Influence. |
The current era of the industrial revolution 4.0, has a
very varied influence on various fields, one of which is the industrial
sector, with the growing automation of machines and robots, coupled with
intense job competition, every worker must prepare for the possibilities that
will occur. In the future, humans must begin to be aware of the rapid
development of current technology, and see several possibilities that will
occur, later robots may affect human employment, starting from job
competition, to jobs being taken over by robots, this is will cause anxiety
for workers or actors in the industrial sector. Competition in the world of
work today does not only involve humans but is a result of current
technological developments, resulting in robots being involved and starting
to enter the scope of human work competition. With the emergence of this
phenomenon, humans are required to improve their skills and abilities to be
able to keep up with the robots when there is competition later. The method
used in this study included multiple linear regression methods with a sample
of 50 informants using the formula Slovin's study aims to find out whether
these possibilities will occur in the future, and then whether there is an
influence from robots and job competition on the future of workers. The
results obtained from this study indicate that the influence of robots and
job competition has a positive and significant impact on the future of workers
and to compensate for robots so that they do not dominate human jobs, these
workers should continue to improve their skills, knowledge, and skills. |

INTRODUCTION
Currently, humans have
begun to enter the era of industrial revolution 4.0 seen from human work which
is replaced by automatic machines in the scope of industry
The role of the
industrial revolution 4.0 is agreed to change humans, especially in the field
of work, the impact of the industrial revolution 4.0 is agreed to change
humans, especially in the field of work, the impact of the industrial
revolution 4.0 will be felt by manual workers because later it will be replaced
by automatic machines that make workers lose their jobs
The results show that in
industry 4.0 digitalization opens up many jobs that make digitalization
continue to spread widely to various fields depending on the complexity of
automation. Judging from the technology that is very rapidly developing today,
it does not rule out the possibility that humans will be replaced later, just a
matter of time, this happens because the competitiveness of robots will
increase.
Not a few media say that
humans will become obsolete because of the emergence of robots in the world of
work. The results obtained from the influence of robots, especially in the
industrial field, found that robots have a significant increase in high- and
middle-level jobs. Then robots are also considered more advanced and able to
work better technologically
The results obtained by
Acemoglu confirmed that robots will reduce human employment. It is based on the
robotics industry which has many advancements which are then attributed to
employment in the local industry. This is interesting because it is true that
robots reduce human employment, reinforced by the results of the European
Commission through the analysis carried out. Robots are referred to as
"killers" in the world of work, but this is inversely proportional
when robots have entered the industrial world, in fact companies that use
robots get a much higher level of productivity in their manufacturing processes
There are so many studies
on job competition between humans and robots, but each study has different
characteristics related to the problem, both from what is researched to the
actors involved in the research. Acemoglu's Robots and Jobs: Evidence from Us
Labor Markets examines the influence of robots on the U.S. labor market. The
results of this study found that one robot is compared to a thousand workers.
This led to a reduction in the population of labor ratios by 0.2 percentage
points and wages by 0.42. This finding can be attributed to the author because
in the world of industry 4.0 it is very necessary to know about job competition
against robots.
An article by Lena
Ellitan entitled Competing in Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 And Society 5.0
explains that in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 there are many
challenges that will be faced by industry players such as lack of expertise and
even skills from human resources.
METHOD
This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach. With
the data used, it is obtained from questionnaires distributed to resource
persons through several criteria that must be met beforehand by respondents.
The criteria that must be met by respondents are: a) Workers in the industrial
field for reasons that are more familiar with their work environment, b)
Respondents who are willing to fill out questionnaires. Questionnaires are made
using google forms, in the form of questionnaires or closed questionnaires,
Later respondents can only answer by sharing a characteristic on the answer
choices that are thought to be very suitable and able to describe their
thoughts
Data is collected through main information because the source of
information is given directly to the informer through questionnaires
distributed to respondents, The data that has been collected is then used for
analysis using the form of the Likert scale which serves to determine the
perception of the respondents regarding the questions asked. The use of the
Likert scale on the riser that is carried out is the deadline of 1 point and a
maximum of 5 points, the Likert scale is used because later it will clearly
know the answers sent by respondents, whether later respondents will tend to
choose to agree or disagree, so that the results will be more relevant,

The data obtained from the answers of the resource persons will then be
described with the aim of explaining the choices chosen by respondents. Then in
the final stage, the results of the research conducted by the author are
obtained through conclusions drawn from the data obtained after analysis with
the aim of finding a solution and facts of a problem being studied by the
author while relating the entire research process carried out.
In this study, a qualitative approach method was used which meant that numerical data (numbers) were processed by conducting statistical methods.
Through a quantitative approach, the significance of group differences or
differences in variables under study will be obtained.
The

Tests were conducted to determine whether there is an
influence of robots and job competition in the industry on the future of
workers. This test is carried out by comparing the profit of the calculation
with a significant level of 0.05 (5%) as follows:
Based on the results:
1.
The variable of the
influence of the robot, the influence of the sig for the variable of the
influence of the robot on the future of workers is 0.935 > 0.05 and the
value of t is calculated 0.082 < 2.012, so that the results are obtained
that the hypothesis stating the influence of the robot is rejected and has no
effect on Y
2.
The variable of job
competition, the influence of GIS for the variable of job competition on the
future of workers is 0.001 < 0.05 and the value of t is calculated 7.341>
2.012, so that it is found that the hypothesis that states the influence of
robots is accepted and there is an influence on Y

Judging from the
table above, there are results from the multiple linear regression equation,
namely: Y = 7.681 + 0.007X1 + 0.815X2 from this multiple linear regression
equation, it can be concluded as follows:
1.
The constant 7.681 means
that if the Effect of Robots (X1) and also Job Competition (X2) both have not
changed or can be said to be equal to zero (0), then it can be known the
magnitude of the Future of Labor (Y) of 7.681
2.
The X1 coefficient of
0.007 means that every time there is an increase in the variable X1 (Robot
Influence) by 1%, the Future of Workers (Y) increases by 0.007, or vice versa,
every time there is a decrease in the variable X1 (Robot Influence) by 1%, the
Future of Workers (Y) decreases by 0.007
3.
The X2 coefficient of
0.815 means that every time there is an increase in the variable X2 (Job
Competition) by 1%, the Job Competition (Y) increases by 0.815 or vice versa,
every time there is a decrease in the variable X2 (Job Competition) by 1%, the
Future of Workers (Y) decreases by 0.815

Discussion
The Influence of Robots
on the Future of Labor
����������� ����������� The Influence of Robots on the Future of Workers through
regression testing turned out to be a positive influence between the Influence
of Robots and the Future of Workers, with this showing that there is an
influence of robots on the front mass of workers in job competition but this is
not too significant considering that jobs will be given to human workers if in
accordance with their abilities and expertise.
The Effect of Job
Competition on the Future of Workers
����������� ����������� The Effect of Job Competition on the Future of Workers
has a significant positive influence between job competition and the future of
workers, this means that the competition in question is when robots begin to
compete with workers
The Influence of Robots
and Job Competition on the Future of Workers
From the results
of the F Test Statistical Test data, it was found that the Influence of Robots
and Job Competition on the Future of Workers has the same influence on the
future of workers with a significant coefficient value. Based on the
Correlation Test, a value of 78.6% was obtained, while for the deterimination
test, 61.8% of models of the influence of robots and job competition were
found.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of
previous analyses and reviews, it will be partially concluded that the �Influence of Robots and Job
Competition with the Future of Workers has been tested to have a significant
positive influence between the model of the influence of robots and job
competition on the future of workers. It was found that the variable that is
very dominant in influencing the future of workers is job competition which has
a coefficient value greater than the variable of influence of robots.
