Technological developments, most notably advances in artificial intelligence (AI), continue to reshape work design, performance, and management at the individual, team, organizational, and societal levels. As organizations increasingly digitalize work and embed AI into everyday processes, the established structures and norms of office work routines are transforming. The nature of work is becoming increasingly contingent, mobile, and flexible, often mediated by digital platforms and intelligent systems. New technologies (including but not limited to AI) have enabled changes in the temporality and spatiality of work with many consequences deserving study. Exemplars of contemporary work structures include remote and nomadic work, the four-day workweek, globally distributed project work, crowdsourcing, and on-demand freelance work increasingly coordinated, supported, or evaluated by AI-enabled platforms.
