Abstract
The place of work in organization studies and management has waxed and
waned. Yet, today, social and technological developments have raised
again interest in the study of work and this curated discussion brings
together experts in key approaches to this topic. Seven contributions
have been selected to provide a panorama of what we know about work
while pointing to some uncharted territories worthy of future
exploration. The contributions outline the principles behind and value
of systemic, contextualized, or holistic view of work and report
insights on how changes in some work components reverberate in its
broader ecology. We hope this curated discussion will make us more aware
of the collective journey scholars have charted so far while posing new
questions and opening or re-directing new avenues of inquiry.26 Jan 2024Submitted to Advance 09 Apr 2024Published in Advance
