Abstract :
Objective:The main goal of this research is to analyze the skills needed by human resources to adapt to the developments of the fourth industrial revolution. Methodology:In this research,first, the literature and background in the field of developments of the fourth industrial revolution and the required skills of human forces are examined,and then,using the opinions of experts and company managers,a set of skills needed to adapt to the developments of the fourth industrial revolution is identified.After the skills are identified,the affectiveness and influence relationships between these stimuli are investigated using the Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM) technique Conclusion:The results of this research are vital for helping to predict and manage the current manpower transition and adapting to the changes of the technological revolution. To ensure the achievement of this vision, managers must act more accurately and quickly in understanding the ongoing changes and being aware of their collective responsibility to guide their businesses and communities in this transformative moment. Originality: In this research,an attempt has been made to examine innovation from three aspects:theoretical, technical and practical gaps,which can be mentioned as the strengths of the current research compared to other researches. From a theoretical point of view,it has been tried to conduct a relatively comprehensive study of fourth generation human resources . Also, from the technical point of view,the current research is innovative by focusing on using fuzzy logic with structural modeling approach. Finally, it has been tried to reduce the practical vacuum of previous researches in this field by providing effective suggestions.
