Summary: In recent years, many companies from different sectors have chosen to support digital transformation in process automation using RPA. In fact, it can be seen that automations have been revolutionising and benefiting the human workforce by minimising repetitive tasks subjective to errors and maximising the technical and operational efficiency of companies. However, it is not without its risks, since it is based on robots devoid of any critical thinking. Thus, the present research focuses on a case study on RPA risks, in which an in-depth analysis was conducted through an MLR with 107 documents gathered and thoroughly examined throughout the community, including books, scientific articles, technical reports, conferences, among others. This research contributes a list of a total of 88 risks organized, mapped and grouped among 9 categories. In this sense, this study will assist future researchers to identify RPA risks in order to define actions to avoid negative impacts.

De facto, é possível verificar que as automações têm vindo a revolucionar e beneficiar a força do trabalho humano minimizando as tarefas repetitivas subjetiveis a erros e maximizando a eficiência técnica e operacional das empresas. No entanto, não deixa de ter os seus riscos, uma vez que se fundamenta em robôs desprovidos de qualquer pensamento crítico. Assim, a presente investigação incide num estudo de caso sobre os riscos de RPA, no qual se realizou uma análise profunda, através de um MLR com 107 documentos reunidos e minuciosamente examinados em toda a comunidade, incluindo livros, artigos científicos, relatórios técnicos, conferências, entre outros. Esta investigação contribui com uma lista de um total de 88 riscos organizados, mapeados e agrupados entre 9 categorias. Nesse sentido, este estudo auxiliará futuros investigadores a identificar os riscos de RPA de forma a definirem ações que evitem impactos negativos.2023-01-27T12:22:09Z2022-12-20T00:00:00Z2022-12-202022-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/27540TID:203175972engBrites, António Pedroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-07-07T02:36:12Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/27540Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:01:43.179737Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
