Industrial revolution has changed the history of humanity. It has been the game changer of modern human history. The revolution has also altered our lives and work as well. Digital workplace for instance has becoming a new way of working style in today’s working workforce. With the IR4.0 strategy initiative, advanced technology has accelerated the evolution of the digital workplace environment in the organization. Despite, the digital workplace is an alternative way of working concept, we found that there still lack of discussion on type of task which related to the digital workplace. Therefore, this paper is: (1) to investigate and identify type of task related to the digital workplace, (2) to discover task involvement during Industrial Revolution until today, (3) also discussed in this paper is to identify relationship between technology and task in organization. The study involved several methodology processes in overviewing and retrieving literature reviews from previous studies on task related to the digital workplace. From our findings, repetitive task and automation are identified as type of task in the digital workplace. Besides that, we found that task involvement in workplace changes since the beginning of Industrial Revolution. Also, we noted that there is a positive relationship between technology over task. The relationship would impact on the way task is done. © 2019, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering. All rights reserved.
