PDW-Shaping the Research Agenda on the Future of Work

When:  Aug 5, 2023 from 15:00 to 17:30 (AT)
Associated with  Organizational Behavior (OB)

The future of work, or how work will change in the next decades because of advances in technology (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence), demographic changes (e.g., aging populations), and other societal trends (e.g., shifting values), is a topic of increasing importance to practitioners and policymakers. The goal of this PDW is to advance research from management scholars on the future of work by collectively setting a promising research agenda, so that scholars can add to ongoing dialogues and offer solutions that positively shape the world of work. The PDW includes both an academic and a practitioner perspective, so that we shape the research agenda on the future of work to be both scientifically and practically relevant. Participants will leave the PDW with a shared understanding of how management scholars can contribute to research on the future of work and an awareness of the possible opportunities and pitfalls of publishing on the topic. The PDW will involve several components that utilize different formats to facilitate engagement, including a panel with scholarly experts who have editorial experience at top journals (ASQ, AMR, AMD) as well as practitioners who are shaping the future of work in their companies, followed by themed round-table discussions that allow attendees to connect on different future of work topics based on their research interests. To spark collaboration that continues after the Academy meeting, the PDW will feed into a research grant competition sponsored by the University of Zurich to fund promising research proposals related to the future of work.

Please complete this form in order to submit questions to the panelists and register for the themed discussion sessions (deadline July 25th): https://uzhbusinessadminlab.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd2DqSg7hmhUabA
