Call for Minitrack Proposals

SIG CNOW “The Changing Nature of Work with ICT” track invites minitrack proposal submissions for the 30th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2024), which will be held August 15-17, 2024 in Salt Lake City, Utah. AMCIS 2024 brings together academics and industry professionals from around the world to exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2024 theme: Elevating Life
through Digital Social Entrepreneurship.

The track description can be found here:

The nature of work and organizations is changing with the deeper embedding of modern new digital technologies in the workplace. This is transforming work but also changing and challenging core aspects of organizations such as employee connectedness, engagement, and how meaning and identity are formed and reproduced in day-to-day work. These deep effects contribute to the emergence of new forms of organizing based on open platforms of communication, collaboration, and exchanges for example the growing use of crowd-based work platforms where it becomes less relevant to which organizations individuals belong. Digital workplace platforms and ecosystems can thus support more dynamic and fluid work arrangements within and across organizations, and allow for more flexibility in terms of when, where, and how we work. The potential to leverage the opportunities from this new landscape of work in organizations to improve the lives of workers is enormous but also, there is great potential to create a better society and more sustainable and resilient organizations. Yet, this changing nature of work also raises many concerns and unintended consequences (e.g., digital fatigue, impact on well-being, meaningless work with algorithmic management, and the corrosion of privacy).

The track aims to solicit contributions from a diverse epistemological and methodological perspectives to extend our understanding of the digital transformation of work as well as enhance the theoretical foundation for research, share empirical findings, and provide guidance to practitioners.
