Az automatizáció és a digitalizáció az autóiparban
Automation and Digitalisation in the Automotive Industry

Summary/Abstract: Since the 2010s, there has been a renewed concern in the social science literature about the job-destroying effects of technological change. Analyses are dominated by estimates based on quantitative approaches, while relatively little is known about the actual processes taking place within firms. This paper aims to address this knowledge gap by examining the impact of automation and digitalisation through a case study of three automotive companies. The main finding is that in none of the cases did the innovations studied lead to a reduction in the number of employees. It is also very important to highlight the positive effects of these innovations on working conditions and job quality, in particular the increase in employee autonomy and commitment, employee training, improved earning potential and a more favourable working atmosphere.
