Hi all,
JOB has just published a special issue on job design in the 21st century. Highlights include:
· Greg Oldham and Richard Hackman's reflection on the past, present, and future of job design
· Papers on job design from interdisciplinary perspectives, including organizational sociology (Jerry Davis), corporate strategy (Jim Westphal; Brian Becker & Mark Huselid), entrepreneurship (Robert Baron), economics (Jed DeVaro), and evolutionary psychology (Paul Lawrence; Nigel Nicholson)
· Commentaries examining job design from neglected social-relational perspectives, such as team diversity (Dave Harrison & Stephen Humphrey), social networks (Martin Kilduff & Dan Brass), emotional labor (Alicia Grandey & Jennifer Diamond), and impression management (Westphal)
· Commentaries considering job design in new occupational and organizational contexts (Fred Morgeson, Erich Dierdorff, & Jillian Hmurovic), unintended consequences of job design (Gary Johns), the impact of national and organizational cultures (Miriam Erez) and the labor market (Paul Osterman), and job design in the context of careers (Tim Hall & Mireia Las Heras) and for executives (Timothy Munyon, James Summers, M. Ronald Buckley, Annette Ranft, & Gerald R. Ferris)
· Articles on how employees at different ranks handle challenges in job crafting (Justin Berg, Amy Wrzesniewski, & Jane Dutton), idiosyncratic deals as an approach to work design (Severin Hornung, Denise Rousseau, Jürgen Glaser, Peter Angerer, & Matthias Weigl), work design and formalization (Tina Juillerat), the impact of autonomy and task uncertainty on team performance (John Cordery, David Morrison, Brett Wright, & Toby Wall), ethical leadership and job design (Ron Piccolo, Rebecca Greenbaum, Deanne den Harton, & Rob Folger), and relational job design and compensation (Jed DeVaro)
