Colleagues:
Here is a call for abstracts (Submission Deadline Feb. 2, 2024 ) for a March 21, 22, 2024 conference to be held at the Mitchell E. Daniels School of Business at Purdue University entitled; The Digitalization of Work and Life: Managing People and Organizations Up Close and at a Distance.
Digital technology is disrupting the workplace by opening a new frontier of work experiences, redefining how we work and blurring the lines between work and life. The pace and magnitude of the current digital transformation, and its effects on people and organizations, is unprecedented. This conference brings together expert research and business thought leaders and emerging scholars to explore the impact of this digital transformation on work and life examining areas such as:
-Employee well-being at work and home
-Structuring work (e.g. hybrid, remote, global)
-Processing information to make decisions in virtual and/or volatile, complex, uncertain, and ambiguous environments and personal/professional boundaries
-Ethical considerations of digital technology
-How people and organizations learn and manage these changes
Researchers will share insights on optimizing work cultures for positive employee and organizational effectiveness, while industry leaders will share strategies and have opportunities for dialogue for managing a distributed, diverse workforce.
Participants will have to opportunity to present and get feedback on research, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the ever-evolving workplace in the digital age. A special issue of a journal, and other publications are planned. Partial travel fellowships are available for doctoral students and international faculty with an accepted abstract. All meals are covered during the conference for registered participants and a welcome evening arrival reception is planned for March 20.
Here is the link on the conference with confirmed speakers and how to submit an abstract by Feb. 2, 2024.
