Workshop description:
The nature of work in organizations is changing to accommodate new forms of organizing through modern digital platforms. Digital innovation transform jobs but also has deep effects on employee engagement and how meaning is formed in day to day work. While there is more flexibility in terms of when, where, and how we work there are also multiple adverse effects associated with these emerging patterns of work, for example too much connectivity and managing boundaries of work and personal life. Ultimately digital innovation is transforming the workplace and organizing, including leading to new forms of leadership, governance structures and individual responses to these new patterns of work. These and other issues related to the impact of digital innovation on work will be explored in this workshop. 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. A combination of short presentations and discussions will be used to facilitate the exchange of ideas.
Potential topic areas include (but are not limited to) :
- Emerging new patterns of work
- Digital working and workplace technologies
- Job crafting with IT
- Gamification of work
- Changing spatial and temporal dimensions of work
- Work fragmentation and nomadic work practices
- New forms of virtual teamwork and virtualization of work
- Transparency and open collaboration
- New forms of employee participation and engagement

Workshop Keynote Speakers :
● Jeffrey V. Nickerson,
Machines are rapidly increasing their capabilities with respect to cognitive tasks. Researchers can help design more interesting jobs that use learning machines. Higher human productivity and improved job satisfaction are the desired outcomes. The likelihood of achieving these outcomes can be increased by building a research network that spans disciplines, creates a vision, and strives for convergence. Convergence involves finding a common language for those in different disciplines to use, as well as identifying ways of benchmarking and sharing progress in multiple domains. Professor Nickerson is an investigator on an NSF convergence award dedicated to building a research network related to the changing nature of work, and his talk will discuss ways of involving workshop participants in the network and the research to follow.
