Industry 4.0 represents a new effort to improve the productive forces related to the fourth industrial revolution. This paradigm promotes significant changes in workers' subjectivity because it needs to use the productive attributes of labor forces (e.g.., psychical and mental capabilities). This narrative review attempts to identify and understand the main prescriptions related to the construction the new subjectivity called “4.0 Operator.” This subjectivity has been highlighted as a new labor subjectivity accountable for enhancing the technological innovation of Industry 4.0. We conducted a narrative review of scientific articles (systematic review types) of this topic. Through the content analysis, three main themes related to the prescription on the characteristics of Operator 4.0 have been found. These themes allude to the development of cognitive competencies and their uses to create intelligent agents. Therefore, these requirements try to make the workers take advantage of their labor force meanwhile requiring the reduction of the distress. These outcomes could be useful as a guide to undertaking new and empirical research in occupational psychology.
