As IT has become ubiquitous and embedded in the work practices of most occupations, changes are taking place in the way work is designed, performed, coordinated and monitored. The nature of work as defined in the industrial age is now going through tremendous change. When the nature of work changes, there are broad and deep implications for the way we live and the way our society is operating. There are implications and consequences at the individual, organizational and social levels of analysis as well as across levels.
The goal of this workshop is to build a research community interested in exploring this important topic.
Potential topical areas include (but are not limited to):
Emerging new patterns of work
Alternative work arrangements with IT
Job Crafting with IT
New IT-enabled motivational strategies, e.g., gamification of work
Changing spatial and temporal dimensions of work
Work Fragmentation
Virtualization of work
New forms of virtual teamwork
Open collaboration
e-Lancing
IT and the labor market: Jobless growth
Future professions
Online participatory enterprises
Changing leadership patterns
Meaning of work and occupation
Changing prestige of jobs with IT
Work Life Harmony using IT
