January 5, 2021

Special issue on "Adapting to Emerging Technologies at Work: Effects on the Nature of Work and Employee Outcomes"

The call for papers is now open

Manuscript deadline: 1 september 2021

We seek innovative contributions and encourage high-quality theoretical or empirical papers across a range of methodologies and analytical techniques.
Papers should be submitted through the journal’s online Submission Portal, as a submission for this Special Issue.

Proposed contributions (field and experimental studies as well as high quality theoretical papers) for the Special Issue could include:

Overview and current developments in the use of emerging technologies /AI at work: Multidisciplinary views (combining theories from computer science, Work and Organizational Psychology, and practice) on current trends, applications, and misconceptions. Submissions should particularly focus on how these emerging technologies and AI differ from other technologies used in the work context (e.g. research on automation in factories).
Transformation & implementation of emerging technologies and AI at work: How does work change (e.g. how do new types of teams, such as human-agent teaming, interact)? How can these technologies be implemented while taking work context and human factors into account?
Consequences of emerging technologies and AI at work: What are positive and negative effects of implementing these systems at work? How does the role of the employee change (e.g. how does a change of agency in human-AI collaboration affect employee outcomes)?
AI methods in Work and Organizational Psychology research: How can we use methods of AI in research within Work and Organizational Psychology to understand how we interact with emerging technologies and AI at work? How can Work and Organizational Psychology researchers contribute to building better AI systems?
