Robots, Meaning, and Self-determination

Join us for an enlightening discussion on Prof. Dr. Milena Nikolova's groundbreaking paper exploring the repercussions of robotization on work meaningfulness and autonomy. This study delves into essential aspects like competence and relatedness, crucial for motivation and well-being at work. Drawing insights from extensive surveys and industry-specific data across Europe, the analysis unveils a consistent negative impact of robotization on work meaningfulness and autonomy. Gain valuable perspective as we examine the far-reaching implications of robotization, explore the nuanced link between competence and relatedness, and uncover how tasks, skills, and demographics influence this relationship. Discover strategies to counteract the adverse effects and sustain a sense of autonomy amidst robotic advancements. Don't miss this thought-provoking session shedding light on the broader impact of robotization beyond employment and wages!
