The Fourth Industrial Revolution has contributed to various impacts on the future of work in the aspect of employment, work style, and business. This research is to study the impact of fourth industrial revolution to the future of work.

Data were collected from 190 respondents who are working individuals of different industries, particularly customer service, data entry, food preparation, and manufacturing which consist around the Southern region of Malaysia. Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) is applied to analyze the data collected from the respondents. Several analysis methods had been used in this research which are Cronbach’s Alpha analysis, Pearson’s Correlation analysis, and Multiple Regression analysis. The results show that 4IR technologies and technological advances had no significant relationship with the future of work while globalization had shown significant impact to the future of work. Furthermore, this study discussed the opportunities and challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to the future of work. Eventually the researcher can conclude that globalization is an important component in fourth industrial revolution in the future of work.
