    Psychosocial Work Characteristics Now and in the Future

    8th - 9th of November 2023

    Scandic Solli, Oslo, Norway

    Across the global world of work, new ways of working, digitalization, demographic changes, and sustainable thinking necessitate modifications of work content and characteristics to adapt. Location-independence and flexibility with regard to the timing of work may provide a sense of freedom and job control, but also demands of adaptation.

    The current workshop will examine and elucidate changes to the world of work that have occurred recently and that are expected to occur in the future, and implications for psychosocial work characteristics. Potential impacts on occupational health and well-being will be elucidated, based on up-to-date research.

    The course will illuminate potential implications of contemporary developments – and avenues for research – across topics such as:

    * digital transformation of work content and the meaning of work
    * remote work and decentralized, digital work environments
    * health, productivity, and well-being in digitalized work
    * flexibility and freedom versus complexity and technostress
    * job security – quantitative and qualitative
    * working time in the 24-hour society
    * cyber-bullying, incivility, and social stressors in the virtual world of work
    * sustainable work environments in sustainability sectors
