WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

The nature of work and organizing is changing with the deeper embedding of modern new digital technologies in the workplace. In response to the Covid 19 pandemic organisations have accelerated the pace of digital transformation. 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 will take place in presence subject to confirmation of ICIS.

There will be three keynote speakers:

  *   Mary Beth Watson-Manheim, Professor and department head at University of Illinois

  *   Alexander Richter, Victoria University of Wellington (TBC)
  *   Margunn Aanestad, University of Agder

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.
