The nature of work and organizing is changing with the deeper embedding of new digital technologies in the workplace. New emerging digital work practices and arrangements based on remote and hybrid work are now the new normal way of working in many organizations. Digitization is therefore transforming work but also changing and challenging core aspects of organisations 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 organising 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 organisations, 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 organisations to improve the lives of workers is enormous. At the same time, there is great potential to create a better society and more sustainable organisations. 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). We need therefore to consider the future digitization of workplace and organizing. This is the theme for this workshop where we would like to discuss new and current research that improves or challenges our understanding of these themes.

At the workshop, a combination of short presentations and group discussions will be used to facilitate the exchange of ideas. The workshop is conducted as a virtual workshop, with the possibility of meeting in person for those attending ICIS onsite. There will be one keynote and a panel discussion.

Potential topic areas include (but are not limited to):

  *   Emerging new patterns of work and organising
  *   Digital working and workplace technologies
  *   Algorithmic management within work platforms
  *   Digital infrastructures of work
  *   Modern workspace as a combination of physical and digital environments
  *   Changing spatial and temporal dimensions of work
  *   Work fragmentation and nomadic work practices
  *   New forms of virtual teamwork and virtualization of work
  *   The use of (generative) AI in shaping new work practices
  *   New technology-enabled forms of employee participation and engagement
  *   Gig economy and crowd-work
  *   Impact on professions and labour through digitization and automation
  *   Impact of the digital workplace on work-life balance and boundary management
  *   Creating more sustainable and resilient work arrangements in modern organisations
  *   Managing digital exhaust and privacy issues
  *   Workplace Datafication

This is the 13th CNoW workshop. It started out at ICIS in Milan in 2013 and has been held every year since. We are a growing community and in 2021 we joined AIS as a Special Interest Group - the Changing Nature of Work with ICT (SIGCNoW). You are invited to submit extended abstracts about your research (maximum 5 pages) related to the changing nature of work. Indicate whether this is a completed research project or research-in-progress.
