The rate of economic growth increased from near zero to close to 1% per year in a short period of time (Clark, 2. Industry 4. 0 challenges require quick and responsive answers. The response is in the form of changes in various areas of life, especially in the aspect of human resource development (Faisal & Syam, 2. To be able to compete globally, an organization needs to prepare human resources who have capabilities that are increasingly specific and relevant to the needs of these changing conditions. It is estimated by experts that Industry 4. 0 and related advances along these lines will have a huge effect on social life. This will naturally trigger the manufacturing community to improve their manufacturing settings to address customer needs and maintain a competitive advantage (Oztemel & Gursev, 2. The age of Industry 4. 0 requires organizations to be integrated with information technology developments, for example by digitally integrating operational processes (Ghobakhloo & Fathi, 2. Indonesia, through the Ministry of Empowerment of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform, is currently working on a strategy to optimize human resource development through the Talent Management scheme, which aims to accelerate career development, planned succession and ensure the right placement of human resources according to their positions and qualifications (Kencana, 2. According to the Head of Bappenas National Development Planning Agenc. , this talent development ecosystem is manifested in the National Talent Management which consistently provides appropriate interventions so that the quality of individual abilities can support the needs of the organization (Sekretariat Kabinet Republik Indonesia, 2. The Expert Staff of the Minister of Industry for Communication said that there are at least five competencies that need to be developed to realize superior human resources to support the needs of industry 4. 0, namely mastery of automation technology, data analysis. AI and soft skills, the ability to behave flexibly. To support this, specifically for the manufacturing sector, the government launched Making Indonesia 4. Roadmap as a form of readiness to enter the industrial era 4. 0 (Embu, 2. However, the detailed capabilities of superior human resources to be able to adapt to the needs of industry 4. 0 have not been clearly defined. The need for superior talent encourages the human resource development division within the organization to take on the role of strategic partners in providing Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis. Volume 26 No. 1 April 2023, 21 - 44 and managing talents who have specific abilities so that they can take advantage of 0 opportunities (Dhanpat et al. , 2. In addition, the human resource development division is also encouraged to have a strategic approach to increase employee capacity and be able to survive the rapidly changing work environment (Hecklau et al. , 2. Further, competition between companies in the 4. 0 era also gave rise to a "talent war" or talent war. The talent war itself is a phenomenon in the 21st century in the form of competition between organizations and companies to hire and maintain superior human resources (Aguinis et al. , 2. For this reason, integration between individual competencies and organizational competencies in the form of organizational culture is needed to win the talent war (Ulrich, 2. Changes that occur in the industrial world also make higher education institutions have to work together with industry, professionals, and the government to maintain the quality of their graduates, especially in terms of competence (Hernandezde-Menendez et al. , 2. Millennials and above are a generation that is massively exposed to technological developments and has high demands for creative and innovative work. This needs to be managed properly so that each individual has talent development that is measurable, directed, and has a clear profile of his future career (Kemenpanrb, 2. It is necessary to identify the congruity between competencies developed in the world of education and competencies required in the professional Through this, it is hoped that graduates will be better prepared to work and support organizations in facing changes and challenges of industrial competition. Competence according to The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Flynn, 2. is the ability to meet complex demands by utilizing the mobilization of knowledge, skills, and psychosocial resources including skills and attitudes in certain contexts. Competence refers to both visible elements . uch as knowledge and skill. and underlying characteristics . uch as attitudes, traits, and motive. (Pang et al. , 2. In general, competence will affect individual performance which ultimately has an impact on the success of an organization or company. Competence is divided into two types, namely hard competency and soft competency. Hard competency is an individual's ability related to technical matters such as the use of equipment and the ability to manage information (Laker & Powell, 2. Meanwhile, soft competency is a personal feature owned by an individual consisting of behavior, social skills, performance, and professionalism (Kolibysovy, 2. This literature study is to identify the aspects of soft competencies needed to support Industry 4. Unlike hard competencies identified in specific fields, this study focuses on identifying soft competencies because this is not related to specific business fields or specific industries. It is hoped that the results of this research can be a useful basis for company's human resource development divisions in formulating strategic steps in the provision and management of human resources. In addition, the results of this study can be a reference for educational institutions in formulating educational curricula and competency development to produce graduates that are in line with the Identification of soft competencies aspects in (Tarigan. Fadilla. needs of industry 4. Research question The research question is based on the needs for the selected topic in the literature review, namely: What are the soft competency aspects needed in industry 4. LITERATURE REVIEW Industry 4. In 2011, experts from various fields from Germany sparked the Industrial Revolution 4. 0 at the Hannover Trade Fair. In 2015. Angella Markel introduced the idea of the Industrial Revolution 4. 0 at the World Economic Forum (WEF). The industrial era 4. 0 is an era where there is a change from a manufacturing process that is dominated by machines to a manufacturing process that is dominated by digital. The 0 era also triggers changes that have an impact on social aspects. Oztemel & Gursev . states that there are several aspects in the 4. 0 era that have an impact on social aspects, namely the Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M), and cyber physical systems (CPS). IoT technology allows M2M/machines to communicate so as to produce a work environment that is free from humans. In addition. CPS technology also facilitates communication between machines, resulting in a manufacturing system that is more consistent, robust, and has intelligence capabilities. Because it is no longer enough just to optimize manufacturing processes and machines, it is necessary to empower employees to meet the challenges of the future. Enke et al. , . stated that there are several characteristics of Industry 4. 0, namely using a technological approach, having a philosophy of feasibility and self-optimization, based on adjustments/adaptations and extensive networks, learning based on data, and obtaining information in real time. and based on the specific problem at hand. Competences Competition in today's industrial context is getting tougher and competencybased practices are becoming more of a concern. Competence is a construct consisting of various different competency classes, namely technical and methodological, social and communicative oriented to the implementation of skills (Adolph et al. , 2. Competence becomes more effective when it is often used for problem solving. Bermydez & Juyrez . defines competence in the individual aspect as a set of behaviors, abilities, skills, analysis, decision making, and information transmission needed to carry out a position in a job. Kamaruzzaman et al. also state that competence is a personal skill that reflects the potential ability to provide an adequate or consistently high level of performance in certain job functions. Meanwhile, competence is also defined as a collection of skills, abilities and behaviors to solve problems in certain contexts (Pawlowski & Holtkamp, 2. Industrial developments that occur will affect the development of Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis. Volume 26 No. 1 April 2023, 21 - 44 competencies needed to answer the challenges that will be faced by companies, organizations, and individuals themselves. Competence development can be done both outside and inside the work process carried out by individuals. This is supported by technological developments that support the virtual learning process so that it can be more cost and time efficient. Even so, competency management is needed to determine which competencies will be developed, using what methods/approaches, and when they will be developed (Adolph et al. , 2. Competency development is especially needed by undergraduate graduates because there is often a gap between their competencies and company needs (Azevedo et al. , 2. Therefore, competency development needs to be carried out to keep individual's employability relevant to the industrial developments (De Vos et al. , 2. Competence is defined as an ability . apability or abilit. , which is a set of behaviors that are related but have different intentions based on motives. Whereas behavior is an alternative manifestation of intention, which is appropriate in various situations or times (Boyatzis, 2. Competence can be considered as a behavioral approach to emotional, social, and cognitive intelligence that is easy to use to focus attention on the emotional and social components that underlie human talent (Boyatzis. Competence is divided into two types, namely soft competence and hard According to Tripathi & Agrawal . , soft competence is a managerial ability, or individual ability to manage work and develop interactions with other individuals. Meanwhile, hard competence is an ability competence, or individual ability related to the technical matters of a job (Tripathi & Agrawal, 2. On the other hand. Heckman & Kautz . stated that soft competence predicts success in an individual's life. This is in line with the findings of Aasheim et al. that companies need soft competencies for workers more than hard competencies. Therefore, individuals who have soft competencies that are more prominent have a greater chance of working and are needed by companies and organizations to survive and develop. A company or organization requires different competencies of different individuals, depending on the position or position of the individual. Kolibycovy . classifies positions into four levels based on the strategic competencies required for work, namely upper and middle management, lower management executives, specialists, and professional staff. The competencies needed by individuals at the upper and middle level management positions are seeking profits for the company, leadership skills, the ability to resolve conflicts, provide persuasion and be assertive, and the willingness to make changes. Lower-level management executive positions require initiative competence, commitment, leadership skills, conflict resolution, maintaining quality, persuasiveness, and assertiveness. Meanwhile, specialist positions require initiative competence, commitment, customer focus, team work, persuasiveness, assertiveness, and managing information or knowledge. Lastly, professional staff positions require initiative competence, commitment, ability to Identification of soft competencies aspects in (Tarigan. Fadilla. maintain quality, ability to work in a team, focus on customers, and reliablity. RESEARCH METHODS This study uses a systematic literature review method to identify the soft competencies needed in the industrial era 4. The systematic literature review method examines or critically reviews knowledge, ideas, or findings, and formulates theoretical and methodological contributions to certain topics. By integrating empirical findings from multiple perspectives, a literature review can answer research questions with strengths that other studies lack (Snyder, 2. In addition, a literature review is an excellent way to combine research findings to reveal areas that require more research which are important components of creating a theoretical framework and building a conceptual model. Systematic literature review seeks to evaluate the state of the literature on a particular topic or research question (RQ). Systematic literature review is a structured approach to research synthesis, following a number of predetermined steps (Boland et al. , 2. Systematic literature review is considered the most systematic and acceptable method because it is conducted rigorously and has the potential to hold the strongest data validity. By combining the findings of studies in the field, a systematic literature review makes it possible to . provide strong and broad conclusions by producing an unbiased summary of what the cumulative evidence says about a particular topic. critical synthesis of literature in the field so as to identify relationships, contradictions, methodological weaknesses, gaps, and inconsistencies that inform directions for future research. development of new theories or evaluation of existing theories or have clear implications for policy or practice (Siddaway et al. , 2. Search Process In the search for articles that were included in the literature review analysis process, the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metanalysi. model was used. In PRISMA model, there are four stages, namely . literature search. the extracting information from research reports is now treated as two separate stages. summarizing and integrating evidence from individual studies. interpreting the cumulative findings that emerged from this analysis. Article Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria The inclusion criteria used are English-language journals published in the 2010-2021 range which mention soft competencies and in a special context, namely Industry 4. Meanwhile, the exclusion criteria were journals in languages other than English, published before 2010 and discussions about hard competencies, hard skills and technical skills era 4. 0 or non-era 4. 0 soft competencies.

QA2: Does the article mention the required soft competencies? QA3: Does the article discuss competence in the context of industry 4. 0 needs? And each article was given a score based on the statement above and marked "Yes" or "No" accordingly. Data Collection Sources of data used in this study were research journals, books and other secondary data published in 2010-2021 using the Scopus. Sciendirect. Springerlink The keywords used for the search include competencies, personalities, characters, 4. 0, industry 4. 0, 4. 0 era, employee, human resources. Data Analysis To answer the research questions, the data analysis was carried out using content analysis. Content analysis is commonly used in both quantitative and qualitative literature studies to produce descriptive findings and the results can be reviewed contextually. Content analysis is a systematic approach with the following steps: . coding, . code grouping based on similarities, and . data abstraction. The results of the analysis were then validated by peer-review where the checking involved 3 experts, two of whom were academics in industry and organizations, while 1 person was a professional in the field of HRD.

Search Process and Quality Assessment Results The search process carried out in the early stages resulted in 284 journal literature and conference proceedings that had gone through a peer-reviewed process. The results were then filtered to remove 16 literatures that were identified as On the other hand, there were 3 reports that were added because they were not captured in the database but considered relevant. A total of 268 literatures were filtered by title, abstract and keywords. There were 163 literatures that were excluded with strong reasons, namely not using English, not mentioning competence, and not in the context of industry 4. There were 34 remaining literatures which then undergo the Quality Assessment process. Table 2 Articles Included in the Analysis Process Article No. Reseacher Pawlowski, , & Holtkamp.

The following graph can explain the distribution of the competencies and the frequency each is mentioned in all analyzed articles. Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis. Volume 26 No. 1 April 2023, 21 - 44 Figure 1 Distribution and frequency in each competency From the graph above, it can be seen that three soft competencies that are mentioned most often in the articles analyzed are creativity and innovative orientation, working with others, and flexibility & adaptability. Meanwhile, the two least mentioned soft competencies are customer & service orientation, and responsibility. Creativity and innovation are needed in industry 4. 0 as it is the key to the success and sustainability of an industry.

At this stage, individual creativity is needed to develop a system capable of performing such efficiency (Sima et al. , 2. In addition to creativity and innovation, the most important thing needed in industry 4. 0 is collaborative work.

Therefore, flexibility is needed to deal not only with complex roles, but also with disruptive environmental changes. In the process of data abstraction, the eleven competencies found above were then grouped into 3 major groups, namely groups of task-related competencies, people-related competencies, and self-related competencies, which is in accordance with the concept of required managerial competencies (Smutny et al. , 2. This group division also refers to that suggested by Analoui . where there are three Identification of soft competencies aspects in (Tarigan.

Emotional Resilience CONCLUSION. LIMITATIONS. AND SUGGESTIONS There are several competencies that individuals need in order to survive and compete in the 4. 0 era. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that based on the results of the Systematic Literature Review or SLR, there are 11 aspects of soft competence that are relevant to the needs of industry 4. 0, namely leadership, working with people, customer orientation, communication, task engagement & responsibility, decision making, problem solving, creative & innovative orientation, flexibility & adaptability, learning orientation, emotional resilience. The limitation of this research is that this study cannot cover all publications related to soft competencies that may exist and have been published. The included studies were limited to certain databases, were open-access, and did not include gray literature that was not published by commercial or academic publishers. This has limited the number of manuscripts that were analyzed. In addition, language barriers are a major problem for conducting this type of systematic literature review, because the included manuscripts were only those available in English. It is suggested that further research re-confirm the results obtained through other methods such as focus group discussions or deep interviews with experts to ensure that these aspects are in accordance with the conditions in the In addition, more specific research can be conducted on the competencies required by certain positions or industries. Research can also be done on competencies that are no longer needed in the 4. 0 era and in the next era. REFERENCES
