Working patterns and practices Books

Book SynopsisNew information and communications technologies have revolutionized daily life and work in the 21st century. This insightful book demonstrates how telework has evolved in the last four decades, as technological developments have improved our capacity to work remotely. Based on a new conceptual framework, this book explores the global variations in telework, examining the effects on working conditions and individual and organizational performance. Breaking the traditional intellectual conception that telework is performed only in the home, this book surveys the full breadth of working environments, as technology allows employees increased working mobility. Contributors expose a profound ambiguity surrounding the effects of 21st-century telework, revealing that its advantages and disadvantages may simply be two sides of the same coin. This timely book is crucial reading for researchers of labour and employment interested in the evolution of contemporary telework and the influence of modern technologies in the workplace. Policy-makers will also benefit from this book's concrete policy recommendations to improve the practice of telework. Contributors include: S. Boiarov, P. D'Cruz, A. Dal Colletto, L. Gschwind, T. Harnish, K. Lister, A. Mello, J.C. Messenger, E. Noronha, A. Sato, O. VargasTrade Review'This volume explores the development, forms, and effects of telework in countries from different regions around the world, including Argentina, Brazil, ten Member States of the European Union (EU), India, Japan, and the United States. A must read for everyone who wants to understand the different ''generations'' of telework and its impact on working life, health and safety and productivity.' --Gerhard Bosch, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany'A valuable, long-term and comparative perspective on the continuously developing interface between work and the gradual advance in telecommunications technology that facilitates it to be done anytime, anywhere - in-home, off-site or around the globe. This carefully curated compilation will be useful to researchers, policy-makers, organizations, and anyone trying to keep up the pace of their own knowledge of the various effects of this transformation on well-being and organizations - good, evil or a bit of both - for workers, employers and countries.' --Lonnie Golden, Pennsylvania State University, Abington, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Telework in the 21st century – an evolutionary perspective 1 Jon C.

Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book arrives at a time of growing concern for the future of true scholarship. Morten Huse calls upon the scholarly community to reflect on the recent dramatic changes to academia, calling for coordinated efforts to reorganise the scholarly ecosystem. Offering a holistic view of academia, Huse outlines the institutions, audiences, messages, channels and communities that interact in this ecosystem, introducing a 'sharing philosophy' as the foundation of change. Reflecting on the past and looking to the future, this exciting book demands a communal approach to scholarship that comprises an open, innovative and impact-driven attitude to research that can change the academic game. Incisive and optimistic for the future, this book is crucial reading for PhD students and junior faculty members hoping to find new avenues for impactful and innovative research. Established scholars, as well as leaders of academic institutions, academies and associations concerned with recent structural changes to scholarship will also benefit from Huse's strong critique and alternative pathways.Trade Review'Huse makes an original, convincing contribution that not only gets to the heart of the problem with the current publish or perish culture driving academic research but he also proposes a bold, innovative ecosystem that can free us to engage in research that matters. It is a must read for all of us who want to move beyond complaining about the problem to being part of the solution.' --Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa'A very personal and engaging book, from an engaged scholar who speaks and writes from the bottom of his heart. A beautiful metaphor starring boats, lighthouses, tugboats and good wine. This is about academic communities, institutions, individuals, stakeholders, rules of the game, and even more so about sharing, openness, training, mentoring, contributing, having an impact, doing good. A very special and valuable contribution to rethink and redesign the ecosystems and practices of conducting research. A well-documented, well-articulated piece. A wealth of experiences so warmly put together.' --Thomas Durand, Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, France and President, European Academy of Management'What a wonderful, timely and profound book.

Book SynopsisIncisive and forward-thinking in its approach, this prescient book investigates the conditions of the often unstable school-to-work transition (SWT) period, calling for an improvement in labour market entry processes in order to facilitate the smooth integration of school leavers into employment.School-to-Work Transition in Comparative Perspective captures the complex nature of SWTs by proposing and evaluating a new set of metrics which can act as a composite indicator of early employment security. Case studies in the form of biographies from individuals who have experienced turbulent transitions are then analysed in order to outline potential lessons from these lived experiences. Through detailed multi-disciplinary study, the book delivers a cross-country comparative assessment of the SWT period, providing new insights into the complex and dynamic nature of this transition process. It further examines what models of SWT are present in post-socialist countries, with a specific focus on Central and Eastern European states.This compelling book will be an important read for students, academics and researchers in the fields of sociology and social policy, labour policy, welfare states, education and economics. Its presentation of new measures through which to evaluate the SWT period will also greatly benefit professionals and practitioners working in education, labour policy and welfare states.Trade Review‘This highly original and innovative book covers issues and groups of countries that have rarely been dealt with in cross-national research. The editors and contributors combine quantitative and qualitative data in a way that enriches our understanding of young peoples’ trajectories, employment quality, job insecurity, job entry and the role of welfare systems. This book is a significant contribution to the field.’ -- Bjørn Hvinden, Norwegian Social Research, NorwayTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to School-to-Work Transition in Comparative Perspective 1 Dominik Buttler, Maciej Ławrynowicz, Piotr Michoń PART I NEW INDICES IN SCHOOL-TO-WORK TRANSITION RESEARCH 2 Constructing a composite indicator of early employment security 9 Maria Symeonaki, Glykeria Stamatopoulou and Dimitris Parsanoglou 3 Employment quality of young workers in Europe and its determinants 38 Dominik Buttler PART II DETERMINANTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF TURBULENT TRANSITIONS 4 Learning from precarious trajectories: portraits of young adults in four European countries 65 Margherita Bussi, Ondřej Hora, Maciej Ławrynowicz and Mi Ah Schoyen 5 Recruiters’ valuation of young people’s employment insecurities in Bulgaria and Switzerland: making sense of job-hopping and unemployment in the hiring process 89 Christian Imdorf, Matthias Pohlig, Lysann Zander 6 Do the interactions with employment services and other institutions facilitate school-to-work transitions?

Book SynopsisInstitutions such as trade unions that were once relied upon to protect workers’ wages, conditions and job security are eroding. In response, new forms of worker protections are emerging. Protecting the Future of Work examines new forms of regulation that have emerged in response to increasing social concern about poor labour practices, growing inequality, and detrimental working conditions. It looks at how trade unions, community organisations and other actors have mobilised to raise public awareness and pressure businesses and governments to improve working conditions. Featuring a balance of texts on the changing nature of and the history of trade union change and transformation, the series Trade Unionism gives space for in-depth, detailed analysis and captures key themes on the nature of internationalism and trade unionism.Trade ReviewThis volume contributes to innovation in theory and policy debate in industrial relations and entails a stimulating and topical analysis of the role and practices of trade unions, new forms of regulation, and labour standards in times of challenge and transformation. -- Mia Rönnmar, Professor, Faculty of Law, Lund University, Sweden, and Past-President of the International Labour and Employment Relations Association.This edited volume is a thought-provoking, conceptually rigorous and urgent analysis of changes in labour market regulation and employment relations over recent times. The shift the authors identify towards a ‘patchwork of rules’ is illustrated through the impressive line of chapters covering unfamiliar areas like the ‘gig economy’ in China. A must-read for understanding contemporary developments in employment relations and a fitting tribute to Professor Willy Brown. -- Heather Connolly, Associate Professor, Department People, Organizations and Society, Grenoble Ecole de Management, FranceThis volume brings together some of the best thinkers about how the regulation of work and employment is changing around the world to mark the legacy of Professor Willy Brown. The chapters explore how the regulation of our working lives is changing; sometimes optimistically, sometimes pessimistically. But always with an attention to detail that defines Willy's intellectual legacy. The authors make important contributions to our understanding of the changes and what they mean to workers, managers, capital, states, and supra-state institutions. -- Melanie Simms, Professor of Work and Employment, Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow, UKOngoing upheavals in the world of work, including the rise of platform work, outsourcing and global supply chains, have disrupted and corroded the capacity of established regulatory arrangements, notably collective bargaining, to protect workers and improve working conditions. This stimulating and timely volume examines the new forms of statutory and employer-led, voluntarist regulation that have emerged in response, highlights the institutional experimentation involved, and assesses their interface with traditional arrangements in an evolving regulatory ‘patchwork’. The contributors draw insightfully from developments across a range of countries. -- Paul Marginson, Emeritus Professor of Industrial Relations, University of Warwick, UKA truly insightful analysis of the world of work in contemporary societies, offering many practical solutions to key problems. Very much in the spirit of Willy Brown's contributions, and a strong testament to how much he has given and continues to give to our subject-area -- Keith Whitfield, Professor of Human Resource Management, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisCovid 19 was a black swan event which led to working from home emerging as the new normal at a global level. As HRM scholars we aim to understand this phenomenon from both an employee and employer perspective, while drawing on the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) which aspire for a fairer and more inclusive world for people and the planet. At the individual level of analysis there are chapters on conflicts between work and home life, differing levels of motivation, workplace loneliness and the work preferences of introverts and extraverts. At the organizational level questions are raised about the effects on profitability, organizational resilience, and the ability of organizations to remain innovative. How can employees be managed in terms of mentoring, role modelling and how can they be monitored for purposes of appraisal reviews? Chapters include the romanticization of WFH, a case study of shared leadership in Vienna and WFH amongst start-ups in India. In this edited book, researchers from the Global North and the Global south answer these questions, while making a seminal contribution to the field of HRM from a work from home perspective. This is an essential read not just for scholars and students of management, but also for those from the domains of psychology and sociology, and also for policy makers. This book has long-term relevance given that recent polls indicate that as a fallout of Covid-19, many employees the world over are showing a preference for a hybrid model of work – partially at the brick-and-mortar office and partially from home.Trade ReviewOne of the defining moments in the world of work is the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 global pandemic. A large number of employees were sent working from home very quickly and hastily to comply with public health directives. This timely and critical volume provides important guidance to both employees and employers navigating work-from-home as a new way of working. -- Eddy Ng, Smith Professor of Equity and Inclusion in Business, Queen’s University, CanadaWith employees and organizations all struggling with questions regarding when and how to return to the workplace, this volume could not be more timely. The questions raised by working from home are multi-dimensional in nature, ranging from how WFH is likely to impact individual and team productivity, to what it means for information flow and diversity. This volume addresses them all, taking a badly needed, evidence-based, yet real-world approach. Simply put, this volume is a not-to-be-missed resource for managers and researchers wondering about the changes in the nature of work elicited by the COVID pandemic. -- Peter Bamberger, Head of the Organizational Behavior Department, Tel Aviv University, Israel & Vice President-Elect and Program Chair-Elect, Academy of ManagementWith the Covid-19 health pandemic ravaging the global economy, the question of ‘functioning’ and how to achieve this despite adversity could not be more topical. In this thorough compendium of contributions from various business fields, Kumar, Agrawal & Budhwar present a valuable research resource that demonstrates the importance of marrying technological innovation with a philosophy of adaptability to ensure productivity and obviate disruption in times of crisis. Such work is a worthwhile contribution to understanding the new normality and also shaping the inevitable task of ‘building back’ that we are now faced with. -- Dr Dominic Thomas-James FRSA, Global Justice Fellow, Yale University; Postdoctoral Research Associate, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge; Visiting Lecturer, School of Management, BML Munjal University; and BarristerTable of ContentsSection I: Individual Perspectives Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisTechnology advancement and the widespread impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a major impact on both the contours and terrain of work, employment, and the management of people. Understanding these complex developments requires fresh perspectives on the nature and context of the management of people and human resources. The expanding fourth industrial revolution has been underpinned by new technological platforms and AI, as well as new worker motivations, making essential that researchers seek to explore the field of HRM in a new way. The Emerald Handbook of Work, Workplaces, and Disruptive Issues in HRM reflects these complex changes in the way work, employment and people currently are and will continue to be managed across the globe. Considering these changes, a multidisciplinary range of voices illustrate just how fundamental recent developments will be in reshaping work and employment as in any previous revolution. The Handbook is structured into three sections: Human Resource Management, Human Resource Development, and Emerging Issues, each exploring key themes and the emergence of ground-breaking new perspectives. These themes are central issues for debate and discussion in the workplaces across the globe and the work presents innovative and provocative assessments of changes and challenges in rapidly evolving local and global environments.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Work, Workplaces, and Human Resource Management in a Disruptive World; Peter Holland, Timothy Bartram, Thomas Garavan, and Kirsteen Grant PART 1: HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CONTEXTS AND PRACTICES Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisPromoting a greater understanding of intercultural interactions, this timely and engaging Research Handbook provides an overview of the current state of research on cultural intelligence and analyzes its prospects for the future. Including contributions from key researchers in the field as well as those with a more critical perspective, this comprehensive Research Handbook addresses the conceptual backdrop, the measurement and the antecedents of cultural intelligence. It further examines the outcomes associated with cultural intelligence, offers a higher-level analysis of the concept, and concludes with an evaluation of the future research prospects of cultural intelligence. All in all, the Handbook investigates the heightened importance of intercultural interactions among individuals, groups, organizations, and societies in an increasingly interconnected global community. Covering a wide range of perspectives on cultural intelligence and related constructs, this Research Handbook will be essential reading for students, scholars, and researchers in the areas of employment relations, international business, international and cross-cultural management, occupational psychology, and organizational behavior.Trade Review‘As a retired academic, I find it heartening that the field of cultural intelligence that I was involved in 20 years ago with David Thomas has become such a major focus for research, that its early pioneers continue to do ground-breaking work, and that so many other fine scholars have been attracted. The progress represented in this book is astonishing, and it will help to ensure that the next two decades of work on cultural intelligence are as ground-breaking as the first two.’ -- Kerr Inkson, University of Auckland, New ZealandTable of ContentsContents: Preface xxi PART I CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND OF CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE 1 Introduction: cultural intelligence in perspective 2 Chris Earley and Elaine Mosakowski 2 Cultural intelligence, global mindset, and cosmopolitanism: a tale of three constructs 12 Hyun-Jung Lee and Orly Levy 3 Philosophy and theory of intercultural sensitivity: a review 27 Dharm P.

Book SynopsisAs artificial intelligence and machine learning practices grow, entire industries and jobs could become more automated or cease to exist altogether. HR Without People? traces provocative and challenging timelines for future developments in ten, thirty and fifty years’ time, to interrogate how modern HR practices need to respond to far reaching technological and industrial change. Focusing on the role these technologies are playing in changing the HR profession and how they could and should develop industry practices in the future, HR experts Anthony R. Wheeler and M. Ronald Buckley explore how this profession has a vital role in responding to these changes and how it can adapt to meet the new challenges faced by both employers and employees. Examining key issues such as the effects of big data and algorithms ongoing role in influencing recruiting and selection, the changes in virtual technology that will alter training, and how the role of government will expand to address the needs of citizens affected by the rate of change in workforce displacement, HR Without People? is a stimulating and confrontational challenge to conventional thinking on this people-centric profession’s role in the future of work.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe focus of Volume 17 of Research on Emotion in Organizations is on how negative emotions at work can be intense due to a myriad of reasons including feelings of failure, rejection, job insecurity, stressful work demands and poor coping strategies. The chapters in this book address some of the more frequent and vexing problems and resulting negative emotions that can occur at work. Many of these chapters explore relatively under-researched topics, and thus the potential for their future impact on research is enormous. Many of these topics are under-researched despite the emotions they address having a major impact on people’s lives. With an emphasis on negative emotions, coping strategies, emotional regulation, emotional labor, management and leadership, chapter authors detail a wide-ranging set of means to ameliorate negative emotions in organizational settings. These solutions, based on state-of the-art research, will be of immense help to workers and leaders as they face the challenges of the modern workplace. In addition, they should help guide human resource management training and development programs.Table of ContentsPart I - Negative Emotions and Coping Strategies Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisVolume 19 of Research in Occupational Stress and Well-Being explores and enhances our understanding of how stress and well-being at work can change over time. Much of the prior literature in occupational stress and well-being is designed to look at antecedents of stress and well-being, treating them as dependent variables. Although these models implicitly acknowledge the dynamic nature of stress and well-being, they are often assessed at a single time point and treated as a static end-state. This volume moves beyond this approach by explicitly examining stress and well-being as a dynamic phenomenon by examining changes in stress and well-being that happen developmentally, because of intentional interventions on the part of organizations, in response to job role or job status transitions, or which examine the ways in which changes in stress and well-being is conceptualized and assessed.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe digitalization of work processes and the generalization of IT are creating unprecedented opportunities. An increasing part of the workforce is experimenting with new forms of work, as freelancers, self-employed or highly skilled employees with greater autonomy. International in scope, this book comprehensively explores these new models of work, mobility and life trajectories, and the increasing role of non-metropolitan coworking spaces.This interdisciplinary book investigates new trends in relationships between work, life plans, work-life balance, and mobility in the context of ongoing societal digitalization. An expert group of contributors adopts a comparative approach in assessing the coworking phenomenon. They examine the social embeddedness of collaborative workspaces and consider topics such as social exchange, cooperation, and collaboration, critically assessing the question of individual and collective mobilities, and exploring the historical roots of coworking and its developing meanings and uses in practice.Gathering a wide variety of studies which investigate the diversity of social trajectories, institutional context, social transition, cooperation, policy measures, and mobility patterns, this book will be an interesting read for academics and students in the fields of organizational behavior, human geography, sociology of work, cities, and regional studies. Politicians interested in territorial development, elected officials, workers of municipalities and regions, and journalists who cover work issues, will similarly find this to be a beneficial read.Trade Review‘An impressive selection of cases that reflects the variety and scope of the coworking phenomenon, setting a milestone for future research on the topic.’ -- Alessandro Gandini, University of Milan, Italy‘Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay and Gerhard Krauss have brought together an impressive array of scholars from the US, Canada, and Europe in what will certainly become an indispensable handbook for all, teachers and students alike, interested in understanding what coworking is all about.’ -- Mario Polèse, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to The Coworking (R)evolution 1 Gerhard Krauss and Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay PART I CONCEPTUALIZATION AND DEFINITIONS OF THIRD PLACES, COWORKING, AND COWORKING SPACES 1 Third places, coworking, and coworking spaces as concepts responding to current social and economic trends 7 Gerhard Krauss and Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay 2 Collaborative working, coworking spaces, and communities of practice: their origins, definitions, forms, different types, and forms of collaboration 26 Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay and Arnaud Scaillerez PART II THE SOCIAL DIMENSION OF COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACES 3 How coworking spaces have spread beyond larger metro areas: a spatial diffusion analysis in France 42 Christine Liefooghe, Guy Baudelle, Sébastien Le Gall, and Clément Marinos 4 A new mode of reconciliation of professional and personal life: the contribution of coworking space 59 Guy Baudelle, Flavie Ferchaud, Gerhard Krauss, Anne-Laure Peyrou, and Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay 5 Perceived health and well-being of workers: understanding the effects observed in coworking spaces 75 Nathalie Marceau and Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay PART III SOCIAL EXCHANGE, COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION 6 Motivations to collaborate and motivations to work in coworking spaces: a comparative analysis 93 Jennifer Urasadettan, Anne-Laure Le Nadant, Pascal Glémain, and Gerhard Krauss 7 Coworking, legitimate practice, and physical presence in the modern workplace 111 Peter A.

Book SynopsisExamining a range of under-explored work-life interface issues as they affect different stages of a worker’s life, the authors share new insights into complex issues that affect us all. Topics explored include the wellbeing of students who work, solo-living staff, those on complex fertility journeys, perinatal mental health, chronic illness, menopause, and retirement. Work-Life Inclusion: Broadening perspectives across the life-course will be primarily useful for two main audiences: 1) Academics and students in the fields of work and employment, gender studies, and those interested in health and wellbeing 2) People management practitioners and employers.Trade ReviewThis book will be a very valuable tool to help HR professionals and organisations to take their health and wellbeing strategy to the next level. To optimise its impact, a strategy should be based on the health risks and needs of its workforce throughout the employee ‘life course’. The CIPD fully supports the notion that employers need to consider the whole person if they are to be effective in reducing work-life conflict and supporting their health and wellbeing as they journey through work and life. The book provides an excellent narrative of how this needs to include the multidimensional nature of people’s identity and experiences. The different chapters cover a range of key life-stage events, such as menopause transition, that individuals can encounter through the employee lifecycle and which can understandably impact on health and work. The book is a welcome clarion call to breakdown the silence and taboo that persists in many workplaces around broader wellbeing issues that affect so many, so that people can receive empathy, support and understanding. -- Rachel Suff, Senior Policy Advisor, CIPDI am delighted to provide an endorsement for this handbook edited by Dr Krystal Wilkinson and Dr Helen Woolnough. Through a series of well-informed empirical chapters, they respond to the call to broaden understandings of the work-life interface to consider a range of challenges for different groups across the life-course. Many of the chapters highlight topics that have previously been underexplored in work-life literatures, and are highly topical, such as social class in Chapter 2, the earliest stages of working lives (Chapter 3 and 4) solo-living for women (Chapter 5), menopause (Chapter 12), apprenticeship (Chapter 9) and male perspectives on parenthood (Chapter 11). The ground-breaking work is carried in the middle of the book with chapters 6 to 8 on topics that are historically missing from academic agendas; bound by the development of theory on the connection between fertility treatment, miscarriage and perinatal mental illness respectively. These chapters successful illuminate silenced and taboo topics, bringing them into mainstream workplace narratives to the benefit of readers. Strength and depth are added by intersectional empirical studies with reflections on work-life complexities from older workers (Chapter 13), ethnic minority female workers that manage chronic illness (Chapter 10) and older ethnic workers (Chapter 14). Taken as a whole, authors draw on a range of theoretical frames and lenses including the work-life interface; equality, diversity and inclusion, career theory, empowerment, training and wellbeing. The book is pitched to appeal to both academics and practitioners through its accessible credible approach. The style is provocative and critical; it challenges our assumptions as researchers or organisation practitioners to think creatively and be more work-life inclusive. All chapters conclude with implications for practice. Thanks to insightful guidance and analysis from Drs. Wilkinson and Woolnough, their book plants a stake in the sand that others in the field will need to observe. -- Professor Carol Woodhams, Professor of Human Resource Management, Surrey Business School:Taking an inclusive approach to the work-life issues employees face at different stages of the life-course should be part of an organization’s overarching inclusion strategy. This book is a welcome step forwards in deepening our understanding of the multi-faceted nature of people’s lived experiences of the work-life interface. Feeling included at work has a positive impact on employees’ engagement, productivity and wellbeing. This book is a call to action for organisations to go further in cultivating inclusive cultures by shining a light on some of the under-explored and ‘hidden’ issues employees face when navigating their working life and personal experiences. A highly informative and valuable read which will help readers think more creatively about how people experience the work-life interface. -- Craig Oddy, Head of Talent and People Experience, Novuna Financial ServicesTable of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe COVID pandemic has swept through the world with significant consequences for our work and family lives. We have seen a huge upsurge in remote working, collaborating and leading and ways of working, giving rise to myriad challenges such as “Zoom fatigue,” poor “digital demarcation,” shifting workplace power balances, and declining mental health and safety. Its impact has rightly increased scholarly and practitioner attention towards better ways to support and understand employees, leaders, and organizations; and to help them to develop more effective responses to disruption of various forms. For volume 18 of the series Research on Emotion in Organizations we have fittingly chosen the theme, Emotions during Times of Disruption and contend that emotions and other affect related concepts represent keys to understanding the phenomena of disruption in organizations more fully. Literature to date addressing this issue is surprisingly scant and so chapters in this volume provide impactful and important contributions to an underexplored area. Emotions during Times of Disruption progresses through 4 thematic sections which include, Emotions in disruptive contexts, Emotions and performance-related outcomes during disruption, the role of supervisors and leader emotions during disruption and lessons learnt which help point the way forward with further insights and recommendations.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisBefore 2019, coworking spaces were flourishing, however the COVID-19 pandemic put growth on hold. As organizations have begun to move towards more hybrid ways of working, they are becoming the preferred option and are particularly attractive for new business ventures. There are significant gaps in the research of coworking spaces: their forms, configurations, influences, challenges, and how to manage transformations of incumbents when establishing spaces. The trend is being noticed, but a better understanding of the phenomenon and a consideration of management innovations is needed to fully harness the true possibilities of coworking spaces. In Awakening the Management of Coworking Spaces, the chapter authors combine a scientific approach with managing implications, developing theoretic constructs, reporting qualitative and quantitative findings about challenges, potentials, effects, managerial solutions, and success stories. The contributors are academics and practitioners, bringing together their research and real-world experiences to help organizations shape best practices. An applicable and scholarly collection of chapters offers the latest research on coworking spaces – both the benefits and challenges – and provides a roadmap for corporations to get the best out of their employees whilst maximising their potential.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisMental health issues, stress and chronic illness are the biggest causes of absence from work and loss of productivity in most Western economies. Research and public awareness of this epidemic of physical and mental ill-health among working age people is growing, but our understanding of its impact on company performance and productivity and possible solutions for the future is less advanced. The Healthy Workforce: Enhancing Wellbeing and Productivity in the Workers of the Future examines current challenges and future solutions to understand issues around how we can improve the health of today's and tomorrow's workforce. This book will look at why workforce health is such an important challenge for businesses, governments and for employees today and how this will increase in the future with an ageing workforce. Closely linked to the authors' exploration of health issues in the work context is a focus on the impact of worker health on direct and indirect productivity costs. This book offers practical guidance for professionals on getting started in the delivery of an effective and evidence-based workplace health plan which can enhance and sustain productivity growth in business now and for the future.Table of ContentsForeword; Andy Haldane Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisWork environments are paved with challenges and uncertainties that can result in the risk of setbacks and personal failure. Experiencing negative events such as these can be devastating for employees. This results in employees becoming distracted, detaching themselves from work and being unable to effectively engage in their work activities. Work Life after Failure?: How Employees Bounce Back, Learn, and Recover from Work-Related Setbacks brings together the knowledge from three distinct concepts that currently lack integration: resilience, learning, and recovery. The authors regard resilience as the positive adaptation after adversity and examine aspects of learning from failure as a process of improvement through enhanced knowledge and understanding after negative professional experiences. The exploration of recovery is situated in the context of a process of reducing strain symptoms that were caused by work-related events. Together, these three concepts advance our understanding of how to effectively use personal resources to overcome the experience of failure and what organizations can do to support employees during these difficult times. Encompassing both conceptual and empirical work from experts in the fields of resilience, learning from failure, and recovery, this book also sheds light on the classification of failures and setbacks and develops a measure of the setback severity.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis is an ambitious and engaging book. It lays the foundations for a methodology that bridges entrepreneurship researchers?' need to provide explanations and practitioners?' need to make their local world comprehensible --? by calling the researcher to also practise as an entrepreneur.Disclosing Entrepreneurship as Practice outlines and demonstrates this '?enactive?' approach and its outcomes in terms of a proposed practice theory of entrepreneurship. Presenting entrepreneurship as a sense-making, stabilising force in a liquid and ambiguous world, accordingly addressed as ?'entrepreneuring?', Bengt Johannisson argues that the duality of shrewdness and prudence provides the appropriate knowledge needed to practice entrepreneurship. By generalising entrepreneurship as creative organizing in multiple arenas beyond just the market, and conceptualising entrepreneurship as practice, this book presents a compelling rationale for considering entrepreneuring as ?'routinized improvisation?' dealing with situations as they arise.Reflective and thoughtful, this book will be of interest to researchers in the field of entrepreneurship concerned with theoretical and methodological matters, as well as those engaged with qualitative methodology in the social sciences.Trade Review'Bengt Johannisson's strength as a scholar and researcher is his ability to push the boundaries of what entrepreneurship is, as a process, as well as his keen sense of how and why entrepreneurial processes should be studied. Please acquire this book and, then, carefully explore the ideas and methods he proposes for entrepreneurship scholars to engage in enactive research as ''entresearchers'' - scholars who are actively involved in entrepreneurial activities who use these experiences as the basis for generating insights into enterpreneuring (entrepreneurship as a verb - as ''organizing'' is to ''organization''.) I enthusiastically support the ''entresearcher'' paradigm and the methods Bengt Johannisson describes for scholars to engage as ''entresearchers'' as part of their everyday practice. I believe that the ''entresearcher'' approach is the most fruitful way for scholars to gain profound insights into the nature of entrepreneurial processes.' --William B. Gartner, Bertarelli Foundation Distinguished Professor of Family Entrepreneurship, Babson College, US'In his new book, Bengt Johannisson develops the concept of entrepreneurship as practice (entrepreneuring). The contribution is original, relevant and valuable for both researchers and practitioners. The book's objectives appear particularly important. The first is to provide the intellectual/theoretical foundations for our understanding of entrepreneuring. The second objective is to offer a methodology that can enhance the dialogue between researchers and practitioners. As Kurt Lewin claimed, there is nothing more practical than a good theory. Thanks to the author this statement makes sense in entrepreneurship?' --Alain Fayolle, Emlyon Business School, FranceTable of ContentsContents: 1. Departure and Roadmap, Provisions and Destiny 2.

Book SynopsisSocial Contracts and Informal Workers in the Global South draws on the accounts of informal workers, who represent over 60 per cent of the global workforce, to advocate for radically new conceptualizations of state-society, capital-labour and state-capital-labour relations, illustrating how current social contracts may be considered inadequate, irrelevant or unjust.Bridging social contract theories, both mainstream and critical, and the experiences of informal workers – self-employed, wage employed and sub-contracted – this book sheds light on how many existing social contract models stigmatize informal workers and do not offer legal or social protection. Instead of ideologically driven ‘top-down’ calls to revitalize the social contract, it advocates for ‘bottom-up’ initiatives focused on the demands of the working poor in the informal economy.With a wealth of cross-national evidence, as well as promising case studies, this timely and thought-provoking book will prove vital for scholars and researchers of informal workers and of state-capital-labour relations; and for policy makers negotiating new social contracts.Trade Review‘An original and insightful contribution to rethinking the social contract. Instead of prescribing from above, the authors redirect attention to the perspective of informal workers, to their needs, demands and agency, and to the new realities of informality exposed by COVID-19, digital employment, and new forms of collective action.’ -- Kate Meagher, London School of Economics, UK'Informal work arrangements predominate in developing countries and are increasing in rich nations. How should we deal with this? This book makes a novel case for an approach based on social contracts that recognise informal workers as legitimate economic agents, and therefore include them in social dialogue and policy-making and rule-setting processes. Such imaginative thinking about informality is urgent and necessary.' -- Jayati Ghosh, University of Massachusetts Amherst, US‘Most people work in the informal sector and yet our social contracts often exclude them. This volume provides compelling evidence from around the world as to why a better social contract for all of us would provide great security and opportunity for the world’s informal sector workers.

Book SynopsisThe Lived Experience of Work and City Rhythms looks at the working environment, with a focus on the geographical workplace and how this affects the experience of our working lives. It raises key questions such as: Does where we work affect our experience of work? What is the relationship between place and work? What is it like to work in a place dominated by a particular industry or sector? The book draws on empirical research carried out in the City of London - the heart of the UK's financial services sector. The 'Square Mile', as it is also known, is widely perceived to be a distinctive place because of its architecture, history, traditions, and culture. Exploring how the City is experienced as a workplace, this book also presents a method of researching such places through an attention to, and analysis of, their spatial and temporal rhythms. By illuminating how we experience the places where we work, this book explores what makes us feel that we fit in - or don’t fit in - to certain places, how a sense of place endures, and how the relationship between people, place, and work can be researched.Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive two-volume collection draws together the key contributions - both theoretical and empirical - from economics and management literature on human and organisational knowledge, learning and routine behaviours. Volume I discusses conceptions of knowledge and the problems of organisational and technological learning. Volume II contains both theoretical and applied research on organisational routines.Trade Review'Almost imperceptibly the two expressions 'information society' and "knowledge economy" have passed into general use in the last few years. Social scientists have actually been working on the origins and evolution of this society for a long time and it is invaluable to have the key papers brought together in these two volumes on knowledge, learning and routines. The concept of a reference collection is in itself a useful contribution to the knowledge economy.' -- Chris Freeman, SPRU - Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Sussex, UK and Maastricht University, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: Volume I: Knowledge and Learning Acknowledgements Introduction Nathalie Lazaric and Edward Lorenz PART I KNOWLEDGE A The Computational Tradition 1.

Book SynopsisAlthough the activities of large industrial and financial corporations dominate economies around the world, their impact on the distribution of employment and the use of new production techniques is much disputed. In this two-volume set, the editors examine the changes which have taken place in the organization of work and the nature of employment over the last half century. The articles selected for these volumes address the issues of work, skills and employment, with particular focus on the manufacturing sector, which has seen rapid change in working practices, and on the expanding service sector, where new kinds of jobs entail serving customers and working in the money, banking and financial services, call-centres and the public and government sector. Many of the studies challenge the utopian view of post-Fordist work regimes and raise questions about the effectiveness of post-Fordist concepts in accounting for the variety of changes in the world economy.In a new introduction the editors offer a comprehensive overview and discussion of these concerns.Trade Review'The world of work has changed dramatically over the past 50 - or even 30 - years, and it is fashionable to speak of a transformation from Fordism to Post-Fordism. But what exactly is new, and what remains the same?

Book SynopsisAs working environments develop through new 21st century structures, the problems and difficulties they face also become even more complex and difficult to understand, explain and resolve. The ways in which we express these processes are now patterned through a mixture of wording and imagery; diagrams and charting which help to explain trends and visualise long-term sustainable goals. From thinking, doing, working, planning and prioritizing, through to presenting, selling, negotiating, progressing in your career, or just plain fooling around, this highly practical book provides effective tools and guidelines to help anyone who wants to be more efficient and outstanding. After the runaway success of The Diagrams Book, Kevin Duncan returns to combine his experience and expertise into an interactive visual guide. A guide to assess your competency to problem-solving and challenge you to further construct new ideas through visual and diagrammed solutions, for greater improvements in all sectors of life.

Book SynopsisHas COVID-19 ushered in the end of the office? Or is it the office’s final triumph? For decades, futurologists have prophesied a boundaryless working world, freed from the cramped confines of the office. During the COVID-19 crisis, employees around the globe got a taste of it. Confined by lockdown to their homes, they met, mingled, collaborated, and created electronically. At length, they returned to something approaching normality. Or had they glimpsed the normal to come? In The Momentous, Uneventful Day, Gideon Haigh reflects on our ambivalent relationship to office work and office life, how we ended up with the offices we have, how they have reflected our best and worst instincts, and how these might be affected by a world in a time of contagion. Like the factory in the nineteenth century, the office was the characteristic building form of the twentieth, reshaping our cities, redirecting our lives. We all have a stake in how it will change in the twenty-first. Enlivened by copious citations from literature, film, memoir, and corporate history, and interspersed with relevant images, The Momentous, Uneventful Day is the ideal companion for a lively current debate about the role offices will play in the future.Trade Review‘In his new book, Gideon Haigh goes beyond the banal exterior of the office and examines how they’ve shaped our cities, culture and collective history … In this deeply researched and engaging analysis, Haigh ponders if this is just a glimpse of things to come.’ * Happy Magazine *‘Haigh recounts the evolution of the office with imagination and fairness, and he can turn a fine phrase when he wants to. The Momentous, Uneventful Day reads like a good story – and it is, for better or worse, the story of our lives.’ -- Derek Parker * Spectator Australia *‘Enlivened by copious citations from literature, film, memoir, and corporate history, and interspersed with relevant images, The Momentous, Uneventful Day is the ideal companion for a lively current debate about the role offices will play in the future.’ * Female.com.au *‘Iridescent … No one is a better guide to the paradoxes of the working at home / being at work pivot … He writes of these matters as they should be written about, with a full sense of their history and the panache of the literature and art they have inspired.’ -- Peter Craven * Sydney Morning Herald *Praise for The Office: a hardworking history: ‘Tracing its history as far back as ancient Egypt (but concentrating on the 20th century), author Gideon Haigh presents a thorough and interesting account of the office over time. His approach is not merely a collection of facts but rather an attempt to understand the office's impact on our culture and society, and vice versa … Haigh is an adept writer — clear, informative … His information is drawn from an astonishingly wide range of sources, including pop culture.’ -- Ian Halett * Books+Publishing *Praise for The Racket: how abortion became legal in Australia: ‘Gideon Haigh is quite simply one of the best – and most intriguing – writers working in Australia today. He is amazingly prolific on a variety of subjects, but entirely consistent in delivering elegant prose that engages thoughtfully with his subject and wears its (often considerable) research lightly.’ -- Jo Case * Readings Monthly *Praise for Asbestos House: the secret history of James Hardie Industries: ‘[A] serious, sombre and, at times, heart-rending account befitting a tragic and awful story … At all times Haigh’s research is impeccable. This is the book’s great strength — it could become the reference book on all matters relating to asbestos.’ -- Matthew Charles * Herald Sun *‘Haigh has produced a very timely book, given the current debate around the role that offices will play in the future.’ * Sunraysia Daily *

Book SynopsisEighty-three per cent of employees say it is up to the employer to facilitate well-being in the workplace. Well-being at work is a key priority for employees. Over the last decade our world has increased its focus on individual well-being. There is a huge amount of information available and education offered on how to enhance personal well-being by reducing stress and being more physically active, but when it comes to our workplaces, do we really know what well-being means? Do Employers really take notice of these changes taking place? Because we now live longer and work for extended hours and well into our twilight years, workplace well-being becomes a key element to employee attraction, retention and satisfaction. It's not just important that workplaces prioritise well-being; it's vital for their success. With whom does the responsibility lie to ensure this is happening? Using data-driven insights, social researchers Ashley Fell and Mark McCrindle have surveyed thousands of employees on this topic to better equip managers, leaders and employees with a thorough understanding of what workplace well-being is, why it is important and how to achieve it.
