Alexandra Beauregard, Almudena Cañibano, Maral Muratbekova-Touron Background of the Special Issue Organisations are increasingly implementing new ways of working to address the challenge of becoming more agile and dynamic in a work environment fuelled by new technologies, digitalisation and artificial intelligence. First, the timing of work is becoming increasingly flexible giving some employees more autonomy to decide when, how much or how continuously they would like to work (Society for Human Resource Management, 2015) and others less. Second, work is becoming ubiquitous, giving certain employees more options regarding where they work, including in the office, from home, in shared locations, or while commuting (Kossek & Lautsch, 2018) and imposing continuous availability on others. Third, the type of work that individuals carry out becomes increasingly malleable. For example, microwork is emerging as a work pattern, where individuals perform work on-demand outside traditional employment relationships via the internet (Sundararajan, 2017). At the same time, conventional management hierarchies are evolving towards more agile, participative (e.g. holacracy) and more automated (e.g. algorithmic) ways of working (Cappelli & Tavis, 2018; McIver, Lengnick-Hall, & Lengnick-Hall, 2018). While research has explored the potential benefits and downsides of modern work arrangements for organisationally-relevant outcomes, we know relatively little about their implications for employees. This is surprising as these changes fundamentally disrupt the way employees experience work and will lead to deep-level changes regarding how work will be carried out in the future. The objective of this special issue is to bring together research, which explores the implications of new ways of working for employees’ attitudes, performance, and wellbeing. We welcome theoretical and empirical submissions which provide a more nuanced understanding of how employees experience and are affected by work in less traditional work structures in order to depict a holistic picture of contemporary work arrangements (Cañibano, 2019). Specifically, we are interested in studies which explore how employees experience telecommuting, holacracy, empowerment-based team structures, amongst others. We also encourage submissions which analyse how employees react to organisational changes driven by digitalisation and artificial intelligence (Mazmanian, Orlikowski, & Yates, 2013; Orlikowski & Scott, 2014). Moreover, we welcome studies which analyse the positive and negative implications of platform-based employment structures and algorithmic management, i.e. management via automated digital platforms (e.g. Amazon, Lyft, Uber, etc.) for employees. Potential research areas include, but are not limited to: • Individual experiences of new ways of working. We welcome research that explores how employees make sense of novel ways of working and how they live through them. For example, in what way is the work experience of dispersed, international or mobile teams different to that of more local and traditional teams? How do independent workers make sense of their relationship with organisations? Does flexible working change employees’ understandings of the nature of work? Do new forms of organising (e.g. holacracy) shift experiences of power and control? • The implications of new ways of working for employees over time. Changes in the way work is conducted have significant effects on employees (Fein, Skinner, & Machin, 2017; Felstead & Henseke, 2017). However, longitudinal studies of such effects are scarce. We encourage processual analyses that are able to capture the tensions and trade-offs emerging from new forms of work over time. For example, how do wellbeing consequences of flexible work evolve over time? How do attitudes of employees towards agile work change at different implementation stages? • The increasing segmentation of the workforce and the implications of new ways of working for different sub-groups of the workforce. New ways of working are not equally distributed among the workforce and may yield different experiences and consequences across occupations (Avgoustaki & Frankort, 2019; Kossek & Lautsch, 2018). We encourage studies that examine these differences. Are employees across different occupational categories or levels exposed to different flexibility types? Do employees of different occupations and levels benefit equally (in terms of attitudes, performance, and wellbeing) or are disadvantaged from new work arrangements? • The implication of algorithmic management for employees’ careers and wellbeing. We encourage studies that examine how workers experience their career path within algorithmic management structures. What are their responses to the benefits and constraints of algorithmic management in terms of career patterns and philosophies? Is this modern approach to work for the benefit of employees or a form of exploitation with limited workplace protection, which in turn can have negative effects for them? • Digitalisation and new ways of working. We are interested in studies which explore employees’ lived experiences of digitalisation. To what extent does digitalisation increase or decrease inequality in the labour market? How do employees experience working in an increasingly digital environment? How do individuals react to digital and automated HR processes such as who is selected to join a company or put forward for promotion? How do digital professionals react to conventional versus novel HR practices to match their different job values (see for example, Muratbekova-Touron & Galindo, 2018)? • Changing approaches to work in diverse cultural and institutional contexts. We invite the submission of papers that provide new theoretical insights and empirical contributions from unusual and under-researched organisational, industrial and cultural environments in the context of new ways of working (Chung & Tijdens, 2013). How do employees’ experiences of new ways of working vary from country to country? To what extent do modern work arrangements improve chances to participate in the labour market for employees in developing or under-developed countries? To what extent does modern technology help to improve working conditions in underdeveloped countries (e.g., Blockchain technology)? Submission Guidelines This special issue is linked to the 2020 International HRM conference hosted at ESCP Europe’s Paris campus in June 2020. Authors have the opportunity to submit a paper to the conference and participate in a developmental session, before submitting the manuscript to the IJHRM.
