Session #: 1221 | Submission #: 14714 | Sponsors: OB, MOC, HR, ODC, RM, OCIS, TIM, MED
Virtual session type: Synchronous Live Open

Are you a researcher who…
- is curious about what the "future of work" means and how management scholars can help to shape it?
- would love advice from Academy experts on how to craft research on the future of work for top outlets?
- wants to win a $3,000 grant for a research project relevant to the future of work?
- is eager to connect with other researchers interested in the topic?
Then join our brand-new PDW on Shaping a New Research Agenda on the Future of Work. Though the "future of work" is a topic of increasing importance to practitioners and policymakers, it appears far less in management scholarship than would be expected and research on the topic is fragmented. The goal of this PDW is to drive forward research from management scholars on the future of work by collectively setting a promising agenda for research on the topic, so that scholars can add to ongoing dialogues, offer solutions, and collectively shape the future of work.
FORMAT: The PDW will feature a panel open to all on "Publishing on the Future of Work" from 11:30AM – 12:10PM ET (UTC-4), with the following experts from top Academy journals who will present their views about the future of work and speak about the potential opportunities and challenges in publishing on the future of work:
- Ivona Hideg (York University), Associate Editor, AMJ
- Kevin Rockmann (George Mason University), Editor in Chief, AMD
- Abbie Shipp (Texas Christian University), Associate Editor, AMR
Then, in themed sessions with facilitated virtual breakouts from 12:15PM to 2:15PM ET (UTC-4), you will be matched with other scholars who have similar research interests and have the chance to engage with one another:
- To discuss where management scholars can make the biggest contributions to research on and conversations about the future of work
- To discuss the potential for methodological challenges in designing and conducting research on the future of work
- To begin collaboratively brainstorming possible research projects on the topic of the future of work with the other PDW attendees
The PDW will feed into an open research competition sponsored by the University of Zurich in which scholars will have the chance to win a $3,000 grant for promising research proposals on the future of work (deadline: October 1st, 2021).
