The future(s) of work

Gazi Islam

RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas, 2020, vol. 60, issue 5

Abstract: Speculations about the future of work are notoriously slippery (Watson, 2008), ranging fromtechnologically utopian and progressive narratives (e.g., Handy, 1984) to pessimistic predictions about the end of work (e.g., Rifkin, 1995). Yet the impossibility of empirically establishing what “might be” (Watson, 2008) means that a hefty dose of imagination is required in both formulating and evaluating such speculations.
