*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.

*Minitracks:*

*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?
