A chapter in Managing Work in the Digital Economy, 2021, pp 111-135 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the two key drivers of change in our world of work: First, a change in the values prevailing in society as younger generations gradually replace their predecessors and, second, the spread of digital technologies. These two key drivers make the actual organization of work, and people’s needs drift further and further apart. Based on a discussion of this incompatibility, a possible development of a new way of living and working is laid out with respect to all three relevant levels: the general sociopolitical conditions, the inter-individual organization of work, and the individual with their needs. Furthermore, a likely scenario for the year 2030 is developed.
