CFP: The modern workplace is undergoing significant transformation due to the integration of new digital technologies, accelerated by factors like the pandemic and generative AI. This rapid pace of digital transformation has ushered in emerging digital work practices and hybrid arrangements, becoming the new standard in many organizations. As digitization continues to reshape work dynamics, it profoundly impacts employee connectedness, engagement, and the formation of productivity, meaning, and identity in daily work.

These changes have led to the emergence of novel organizing forms, which revolve around open communication and collaboration platforms, as well as man/machine configurations. The integration of digital technologies and workplace platforms has paved the way for more dynamic and flexible work arrangements within and across organizations, providing fertile ground for enhanced productivity and innovation.

However, amidst the promise of creating a better society and fostering sustainable work practices, the evolving nature of work also raises significant concerns. Issues such as digital fatigue, the impact on well-being, fears of job displacement, and erosion of privacy demand immediate attention. Addressing these challenges is imperative for shaping the future digitization of workplaces and organizing.

Our workshop aims to engage with the multifaceted aspects of this evolving work landscape. Through a blend of short presentations and group discussions, we seek to foster an exchange of ideas and insights. The workshop will be conducted in-person, offering a conducive environment for fruitful dialogue.

Submit a five-page short paper at our website CNoW 2024 - SIG CNoW (aisnet.org)<https://communities.aisnet.org/sigcnow/2024cnow> no later than the 15 May.
