Abstract	Intelligent automation is reshaping modern organisations by combining artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic process automation, natural language processing, and advanced analytics with human expertise. Unlike traditional automation, which primarily focuses on repetitive task execution, intelligent automation can analyse information, identify patterns, support decisions, and adapt workflows. This transformation creates opportunities to improve workforce productivity, operational efficiency, service quality, and organisational responsiveness. At the same time, it raises concerns regarding job displacement, employee reskilling, algorithmic decision-making, technological dependence, and changes in organisational roles. This study examines the relationship between intelligent automation and workforce productivity, with particular emphasis on human–technology collaboration. A qualitative and conceptual research methodology based on secondary literature is adopted to examine how automation capabilities influence task performance, employee productivity, decision-making, collaboration, and organisational outcomes. The study proposes a human–technology collaboration framework in which intelligent technologies augment rather than simply replace human capabilities. The analysis indicates that productivity gains are greatest when organisations redesign jobs and workflows around complementary human and technological capabilities. Employees can focus on activities requiring creativity, judgement, interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and strategic thinking, while intelligent systems perform repetitive, data-intensive, and routine activities. However, successful implementation requires employee participation, appropriate training, transparent governance, reliable technology, and organisational change management. The study concludes that intelligent automation should be viewed as a mechanism for task transformation and human capability augmentation, rather than merely workforce reduction. Organisations that effectively integrate human expertise with intelligent technologies can achieve sustainable productivity improvements while developing more adaptive and knowledge-intensive work environments.
