Abstract

IR4.0 has significantly altered the traditional workplace environments that we once knew during the late 20th century. Higher learning institutions are now equipping fresh graduates with competences related to IR4.0, whereas ageing workers in the industry are often left behind. In light of this situation, this article aimed at finding out training models and challenges for ageing workers in the era of IR4.0. Systematic literature review was conducted to identify, evaluate and synthesize existing works recorded and produced by researchers, scholars and practitioners. A total of 120 articles have been found from several databases such as Google Scholar, Academia and Directory of Open Access Journals, whereas only 56 articles were included for further analysis. The findings revealed that there are four existing training models applicable to ageing workers. In addition, four major challenges faced by aging workers have been identified from the literature. In conclusion, in order to enhance participation of aging workers in skill training programs related to IR4.0, the management of company pay more attention to the challenges faced by ageing workers and encourage the them to involve in training programs. © 2024 Author(s).
