ABSTRACT
The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work, and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, 4IR, or Industry 4.0, conceptualizes rapid change to technology, industries, and societal patterns and processes in the 21st century due to increasing interconnectivity and smart automation. Moreover, the new IT technology such Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and wide usage of internet (leading elements of so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution), increased efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery in the field of public sector and public administration. Social media have changed and are changing the world, and more importantly, will influence in the future too. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policy-makers, and people from all income groups and nations, to harness converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centered future. The real opportunity is to look beyond technology and find ways to give the greatest number of people the ability to positively impact their families, organizations, and communities. However, the Fourth Industrial Revolution largely presents numerous challenges to public administration in developing countries that lack enough human and material resources to execute the ensuing huge technological advancements. We have acknowledged that the 4IR has different challenges such economic, social, political, and organizational. The fast and major technological changes offer the chance to improve human life, but they also create concerns about the future. One of the biggest fears related to the new technologies is that the robots and the artificial intelligence will replace the human factor in work leading to the “technological unemployment” even the field of public administration. This research is trying to analyze and give some answer to above mentioned issues.
