Track Description
Technological developments continue to reshape how work is designed, performed, and managed at individual, organizational and societal levels. The accelerated digitalization of information is pushing many organizations away from the established archetype of 9-5 office work towards more contemporary approaches to work. Traditional employment arrangements are increasingly becoming contingent, flexible and distributed. Exemplars of contemporary approaches to digitalization of work include mobile or remote work, offshoring, outsourcing, globally distributed project work, as well as freelancing on demand, brokered through dedicated platforms such as Mechanical Turk, Uber, and TaskRabbit. Further, automation and augmentation of work with artificial intelligence are transforming not just organizations and industries, but potentially entire labor markets, with humans being replaced by, or working together with, ever smarter algorithms and robots. At the same time, the meaning of work and employment are shifting as the new generation of digital natives reconfigure the future of work.

To address the challenge of understanding and proactively designing work with novel technologies requires us expanding from a focus on technical systems and their potential for action to a focus on system and work design as a socio-technical problem. Such systems require the joint design of the social and technical systems and attention to the implications of their interdependencies and preparation for unintended consequences of designs. For IS researchers, the socio-technical complexities of how humans welcome/resist/adapt/appropriate technological advancements in their work environment makes the study of “future of work” both challenging and rewarding.
