Good day tutor,
I read an article on ACCA website on post industrial job design but am still trying to understand what exactly it is (maybe it is because I am confused by the word ‘post industrial).
Is post industrial job design simply about knowledge management and how the job should be designed to manage and make use of the knowledge workers? The word ‘post-industrial’…does this mean such job design is usually implemented after an organisation has established itself?
Thank you so much for your time so far in answering my questions.
Post-industrial broadly means manual labour in factories will have declined (robots instead) and human jobs are much more knowledge-based and service-based.
The idea is that people standing on a production line with repetitive jobs will be less common. More of us create (!), design, interact with customers, use knowledge to give advice, provide services. The fear is that people displaced from manual manufacturing jobs might not be able or want to switch to these type of jobs – even if there are enough.
