The aim of this study is to illustrate the significance of human resources and software development teams in the process of value co-creation, specifically in the provision of human capital within the framework of Industry 5.0. This investigation takes into account ethical considerations, machine ethics, and gender inequalities. In order to achieve this aim, we conduct semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews with 12 Human Resources Specialists and 12 Computer Engineers in large scale organisations in Turkey. As a theoretical lens, we adopt modified grounded theory to explore the interaction of teams for demonstrating how they design and manage the digital process by considering the human–machine collaboration aspect of Industry 5.0. Based on the interviews, there are three main themes in the present research: digitalisation in tracking personnel data, ensuring ethical actions in digitalisation of organisational process, and reflections of digitalisation to gender inequality. Since studies on diversity and industry 5.0 are scarce, this research demonstrates the ethical and adverse aspects of industry 5.0, and how it reflects to gender inequality in organisations.

本研究的目的是阐明人力资源和软件开发团队在价值共创过程中的重要性，特别是在工业 5.0 框架内提供人力资本方面。这项调查考虑了伦理考虑、机器伦理和性别不平等。为了实现这一目标，我们对土耳其大型组织的 12 名人力资源专家和 12 名计算机工程师进行了半结构化深入定性访谈。作为理论视角，我们采用修改后的扎根理论来探索团队的互动，通过考虑工业 5.0 的人机协作方面来展示他们如何设计和管理数字流程。根据访谈，本研究分为三个主题：跟踪人员数据的数字化、组织流程数字化中确保道德行为以及数字化对性别不平等的反映。由于关于多样性和工业 5.0 的研究很少，本研究展示了工业 5.0 的道德和不利方面，以及它如何反映组织中的性别不平等。
