The growing digitization of production processes causes the transformation of work, which is taking place in all industries and is involving every professional activity. This paper introduces a definition of hybrid job and analyses some examples of hybrid jobs in the manufacture industry, in the healthcare system and in the knowledge intensive business services. Then, the effects on well-known variables of job design and organization of work are presented. Finally, the paper discusses the new challenges for the redesign of recurrent training of workers.
