Abstract
This secondary research explores the dual impact of technological advancements on human identity and environmental sustainability in Asian countries, focusing on automation and green innovation. This study examines how the rise of automation is reshaping work identity, particularly in rapidly developing economies, where traditional notions of job stability, purpose, and self-perception are increasingly challenged.
Through existing qualitative findings, this research analyses shifts in job satisfaction, social roles, and workers’ psychology in response to automated systems. This study investigates how Green Technologies contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development across Asian countries. It highlights companies such as Honeywell India, which uses AI and Automation to optimise energy efficiency; Attero Recycling, a pioneer in e-waste processing; WEgot utility solutions, which uses IoT to reduce water waste and renew power; and Greenko Group, leaders in clean energy transition. Southeast Asian innovators such as Augmentus Rad Green solutions,
Sky Greens and AGRHUB demonstrate the region’s commitment to eco-automation in farming, waste management, and food production by synthesising insights from psychology, environmental science, and technology.
This study provides a holistic view of how Asian countries can navigate digital and green transitions to support human well-being and ecological integrity.
Key Words: Technological Advancements, Environmental Sustainability, Green Technologies, Environmental Protection, Waste Management
