Simultaneously, I 4.0 compels changes in the organization of work and influences the lives of employees. The paper intends to construct a model for predicting the allocation of human resources in the sectors of the national economy of the Czech Republic in connection with I 4.0. The model used in this research visualizes the shift of labor in the economic sectors of the Czech Republic from the year 2013 to the following years in the near future. The main contribution of this article is to show the growth of employment in the high-tech services sector, which will have an ascending trend.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info12030120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]],"date-time":"2021-03-11T04:46:53Z","timestamp":1615438013000},"page":"120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Strategic Challenges of Human Resources Allocation in Industry 4.0"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8161-1211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majid","family":"Ziaei Nafchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Informatics and Statistics, Prague University of Economics and Business, 130 67 Praha 3-\u017di\u017ekov, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0441-0712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hana","family":"Mohelsk\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9, 500 03 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ziaei Nafchi, M., and Mohelsk\u00e1, H.
