Description

This insightful book examines the evolving landscape of work in the context of rapidly developing information and communication technology and Artificial Intelligence. It argues that while in the twentieth century there was a standardisation of work style, the twenty-first century is seeing the creation of ever more flexible forms of work, epitomised by the rise of the gig economy. Exploring the changing nature of work in the context of previous and ongoing industrial revolutions, contributors map out the interplay between technology, flexibility and regulation. They discuss how the dynamics of the workplace have shifted in light of a growing platform economy and since the COVID-19 pandemic. The implications of virtual flexibility are also highlighted, including issues around surveillance, work-life balance and role of trade unions. Ultimately, they articulate the broader topics and challenges of the emerging workplace in terms of learning development, employability, disadvantages and supply chains. Championing fresh perspectives on workplace culture post-pandemic, Work, Employment and Flexibility is an essential read for scholars and students of human resource management, organisation innovation and information systems. It also provides key insights for anyone involved in employment relations, or health and wellbeing at work.
