Message from the Guest Editors
The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, is already
underway. Rapid advances in technology, digitalization,
smart technologies, automation, robotization, and the
industrial internet have enabled and characterized its
progression, with important economic, political and social
implications.
New technology implementation o en fails because of
employee resistance and because of the inadequate
management of its effects on other organizational
elements. Workers’ opposition may arise because of
distrust, the feeling of being controlled and fear of job loss.
Moreover, the lack of technical and digital skills and the
need for adequate training is one of the most significant
obstacles among those reported in the literature.
In light of the great attention paid to the concept of
human-centricity in the factories of the future, this Special
Issue is particularly interested in manuscripts that offer
insights into the relationship between technology
acceptance and workers motivation and well-being. We
invite submissions that examine how new technology
introduction impacts on workers (final users and their
colleagues) and how organizations manage the change
process.

Addressing the environmental and public health
challenges requires engagement and collaboration among
clinicians and public health researchers. Discovery and
advances in this research field play a critical role in
providing a scientific basis for decision-making toward
control and prevention of human diseases, especially the
illnesses that are induced from environmental exposure to
health hazards. IJERPH provides a forum for discussion of
discoveries and knowledge in these multidisciplinary fields.
