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 organizations have accelerated the pace of digital transformation. Emerging digital work practices and arrangements based on remote and hybrid work are now the new normal way of working in many organizations. This digitization is therefore transforming work,changing and challenging core aspects of organizations 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 organizing based on open platforms of communication, collaboration, and exchanges. Digital workplace platforms and ecosystems can thus support more dynamic and fluid work arrangements within and across organizations, 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 organizations to improve the lives of workers is enormous.

Although there is great potential to create a better society and more sustainable organizations, this changing nature of work 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 to explore those critical challenges for the future digitization of workplace and organizing and how to digitize for the next generation.

In this workshop we are interested in the debate between the bright and dark side of the changing nature of work.

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-person. We are pleased to have keynotes speakers at the event stimulating our thinking and setting context for the round table discussions:

Keynotes:

· Frantz Rowe, Professor, Nantes University - presenting format TBD
· Emmanuelle Vaast, Prefessor, McGill University - presenting online
