Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to elucidate the challenges, benefits, and future research directions associated with the coevolution of new ways of work and sustainability. We implemented the Systematic Literature Network Analysis methodology: a dynamic approach that combines the systematic literature review with a bibliographic network analysis. The nexus between new ways of work and sustainability is novel given the growth of studies focusing on it since 2021. This phenomenon can be attributed to various factors: the COVID-19 pandemic spreads awareness about the sustainability of work practices, especially in favour of hybrid and remote work practices. Moreover, there is greater awareness of the negative environmental effects of work-related events and organisations are on a constant search for ways to improve their environmental impact. The preliminary analysis of the clusters of authors’ keywords suggests several streams of research related to work design and well-being; the digital future of work and work-life balance; and new sustainable technology for co-working. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the interplay between new trends of work and sustainability. Practitioners will find it valuable to gain deeper insights into how these two topics evolve together.
