“…It is difficult to deny the developmental achievements of China's factories in the past 20 years, but the HRM model used by Chinese factories remains controversial. Chinese factories have, for many decades, been described as "sweatshops" [3]; there have been concerns at rates at which employees have committed suicide [4], and the staff turnover rate is exceptionally high [5], but all the drawbacks are covered by the halo of the "world factory". Workplace interaction is essential in most industries [6], and especially in those that require collaboration between employees.…”

This study uses the grounded theory approach to explore factory workers to factory worker interaction (FWI) in the context of Chinese factories and proposes a model of FWI in the workplace. Human interaction in the workplace is indispensable in most sectors. Compared with large-scale factories, China’s small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) factories lack capital resources and technological advancement, and sustainably managing factory workers is essential for the development of Chinese SME factories. However, previous studies have ignored FWI in Chinese factories. The model developed in this study considers the types, driving factors, and influential outcomes of FWI. The main factors affecting FWI are the individual characteristics of the workplace and external environmental factors and, among types of FWI, information sharing is the most dominant and prevailing. The managers’ management style and the emotional state of factory workers are playing moderating roles in FWI. Results show that factory managers can take advantage of the positive impacts of FWI to improve the efficiency of factory workers and avoid its negative effects to achieve sustainable development of the factory. Theoretical and managerial implications are provided.

Robotların üretimde kullanımı son yıllarda hızla artmaktadır. Robotların birçok sektörde insanların yerini alması ise istihdam endişelerini beraberinde getirmiştir. Robotların işsizliğe neden olacağı görüşü mali tartışmaları da alevlendirmiştir. Bu görüşe göre birçok devlet emek üzerinden vergi almaktadır ve emek üzerinden alınan vergi gelirleri toplam vergi gelirlerinin büyük bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Robotlar nedeniyle artan işsizlik ise bir yandan vergi gelirlerini azaltırken diğer yandan işçilerin eğitimine yönelik yapılan kamu harcamalarını arttırabilir. Bu anlamda, devletlerin mali problemler yaşamasının önlenmesi için ise robot vergisi önerilmiştir. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmada robot vergilerinin Türkiye'deki potansiyeli araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre, Türkiye'de kısa dönemde robot vergileri gerekli değil iken uzun vadede artacak otomasyon ile robot vergilerine yer vermek çözüm olabilecektir.
