*Track Description*
The future of work in a digital world track focuses on advancing
the
fundamental understanding of digital transformations’ role in the
human,
societal, and technological dimensions of work. New technologies
have
augmented the ways businesses create, access, and communicate
information
resources. These functional attributes have enhanced the current
incorporation and future demand of an evolving “new workforce,”
which
entails a knowledge-intensive focus – the knowledge worker. The
future of
work track is a multi-disciplinary approach that addresses the
human and
societal dimensions as well as the technological innovation and
the
potential impact on future work.
The mere availability of new technologies and existing labor
resources does
not ensure enhancements in operational strategizing and
corresponding
efficiencies and innovation. The interactions of workers and
technologies
introduce vast complexities that involve obstacles that must be
identified,
understood, and managed. Technological innovations should be
integrated
with advances in learning, adult learning, workforce training,
social,
behavioral, and economic science perspectives, i.e. intellectual
capital.
Potential min-tracks should contribute to fundamental advances in
optimizing the human-technology team, the science and technology
of future
workforce development and education, work environments, and
positive work
outcomes for workers and society.

*Emerging issues on workforce and collaborations in the
digitized/virtual
work environments *
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of the workplace rapidly
has been
switched from conventional physical premises to online-based
digitized work
platforms. Technological advances and evolving virtual digital
workplaces
immediately transform all stakeholders’ requirements – how to
work, how to
communicate, how to evaluate performance, where to locate, and
what to
create.
The purpose of the mini-track is to offer a forum to present
various
research ideas and topics, particularly focusing on 1) behavioral
and
perceptional issues related to virtual work collaboration in
digitized work
environments, 2) any emerging technologies (e.g., metaverse) to
create new
digital workplaces and environments, 3) situational changes such
as the
inclusion of older and new generation of workforce along with
emerging
technologies, 4) enablers and/or prohibitors toward innovative
business
process transformation in a digital workplace, and 5) Security and
privacy
concerns in digital workplaces. The mini-track welcomes
conceptual,
qualitative, and quantitative research papers.

*Preparing Organizations for the Future of Work *
In this mini-track we focus on organizational approaches for
managing the
future of work. This can include but is not limited to
organizational
strategies (e.g., capabilities and policies); and practices (e.g.,
processes, routines, tools, technologies, and architectures).
Topics may include:
· Leadership capabilities required to sustain new forms of digital
work?
· The capabilities and competencies required by organizations in
response to the changing needs of digital workers?
· How organizations can incorporate new technologies such as
virtual
reality, AI-supported work, robots, and autonomous agents into
their
strategies and practices?
· Technology governance policies and processes required to support
new forms of digital work?
· Employee readiness for sudden and unexpected disruptions to work
practices resulting from the forced adoption of new technologies?
· Privacy and security implications for organizations of new forms
of
digital work?
· What platforms and enterprise architectures are required to
manage
rapid changes in the digital technologies used to support work?
