The Future of Work is a projection of how work, working, workers and the workplace will evolve in the years ahead from the perspective of different actors in society, influenced by technological, socio-economic, political, and demographic changes.\u003c\/p\u003eThis open access book is a timely exploration of some of the challenges and prospects for the future of work from two main perspectives: how work is changing and how to prepare for work in the future. An evidence-based assessment of these topics offers some critical perspectives that challenge old assumptions and opens up emerging trends and possibilities for work in the future. As part of the Palgrave Studies in Digital Business \u0026amp; Enabling Technologies series, this book is an essential resource for academics of Business, Human Resource Management, Organisational Psychology and Industrial Relations, as well as practitioners and policy makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 – The Future   of Work for Organisations, Jobs and Workers (Introduction)\u003c\/p\u003e         This chapter summarises   many of the main challenges and prospects for the future of work.

This has opened a wide range opportunities   such as remote, hybrid, co-working, flexible working and work from anywhere   (WFA) approaches.  This chapter will   consider the range of opportunities and challenges for both workers and   organisations in terms of well-being and performance that are created by   these new ways of working. \u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eProf   Kathy Monks, Prof Yseult Freeney and Prof Edel Conway (Dublin City   University)\u003c\/p\u003e             Chapter 3 – Theorizing the Future of Work in Professional Services: An   Institutional Perspective\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eThis chapter will use a   theoretical lens framed in institutional theory to better understand the   challenges facing professional services, specifically accounting, law and   architecture from digital technologies and specifically machine learning and   artificial intelligence.

Specifically, it will explore   how these both impact on, and can be fostered\/co-created, through education.  Our focus is purposefully on skills for the   future (not of the future) and on futures (plural). A key underpinning to our   argument is the need for a narrative that moves away from an economic focus   on skill development to a broader holistic view of human centered development.   This is also reflected in the increase realization by organizations that   human capital development (HCD) in FoW is linked to positive societal impacts.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eDr   Shirley Davey (Ulster University), Prof Brian Harney (Dublin City University)   \u003c\/p\u003e             Chapter 9 -  Learning and Development\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eThis   chapter draws on the principles of congruence and adaptation in open systems   theory to discuss the future of organizational learning and development and   argue where the emphasis should be placed. We argue that the emphasis needs   to be on learning and development processes at the individual level which are   more learner-driven, informal, continuous and social; a focus on knowledge   pull as opposed to knowledge push. In tandem at the organizational level this   emphasis needs to position the learning and development function as focusing   on processes to enable an environment for learner-driven learning and to   focus on why and where and how learning enables a fluid business strategy as   opposed to driving learning for learning sake. \u003c\/p\u003e         Prof   Claire Gubbins (Dublin City University), Prof Thomas Garavan (University   College Cork)\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e             \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 – Ethics in the   Future of Work\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eA general   misunderstanding regarding the essence of the ethical analysis lead to a   misconception of ethics as a set of principles that need to be integrated in   the way machines are designed.
