The project Work Design in a Digital Work Environment (DIGIWORK) focuses on exploring how the digital work environment shapes work design and work outcomes in organizations. The focus is placed on four interconnected aspects under the contextual influence of the digital work environment: (1) job crafting as a proactive form of job redesign, (2) algorithmic management as a technology-enabled form of job redesign and control, (3) competencies required for current and future jobs, and (4) digital nomads as a new form of work. The project aims to expand existing theoretical models and empirically examine new forms of work through mixed methodological approaches.
We have introduced new digital tools to accelerate our work, but are we asking ourselves enough how this affects the people using them every day?
In practice, we see a wide range of positive and negative effects from these changes. To move beyond guesswork based on isolated examples, our posts on the LinkedIn page bridge the gap between academic research and day-to-day business practice. We invite you to follow the page on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/136014907/
Instead of publishing dry theory, we will translate rigorous research into concrete, actionable advice for employees, managers, HR professionals, and leaders who want to create better, healthier, and more effective work environments.
