lessons from the pandemic and future prospects

REMOTE ACCESS on Teams platform.

Recent years have been marked by a growing scientific and applied interest in modes of work untethered in time and space by the connective potential of information and communication technologies with increasing possibilities for action. The spread of Covid-19 has forced large-scale experimentation with virtual forms of work, while fostering the institutionalization of hybrid work in the new post-pandemic social order.

The seminar will outline recent research developments on the topic of remote work and the main communities of scientific interest that have formed around it in relation to the pandemic. Attention will then be focused on specific issues related to the adoption of remote work that are particularly critical at both the individual and organizational levels. In detail, through the lens of contradiction and paradox, the effects of physical distance and technological mediation on worker identity processes will be examined. It will illustrate how these are profoundly affected by the changing structure and dynamics of organizational control which, in remote work contexts, recombines technical, ideological and cultural components generating an apparent contradiction in the dual use of technologies for surveillance and social interaction purposes.

Starting from the assumption that hybrid work is destined to become the new normal, the last part of the seminar will focus on the role of physical space in the age of digital work and on its design from a human-centered perspective, taking the activity-based-working paradigm and showing an application case in Italy.

THE SPEAKER. Luisa Errichiello is First Researcher at the CNR Institute for Mediterranean Studies (CNR-ISMed). A Management Engineer and PhD in Engineering and Economics of Innovation, she is an Adjunct Lecturer in Economics and Sustainable Business Management at the University of Roma Tre and Cultrice della materia in Business Organization at the Parthenope University of Naples. She has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Southern Denmark, the Cà Foscari University of Venice and the Iesèg Business School in Paris. She is currently the scientific head of the CNR-ISMed research line “Business Innovation in the Digital Age” and task leader in the PNRR project “Age-IT – Ageing Well in an Ageing Society.” His research interests mainly concern the management of innovation and organizational change, the impact of technologies on organizing processes, and flexible and technology-mediated ways of working. Her research has been presented at numerous conferences and published in international journals, including European Management Review, Journal of Information Technology, Facilities, International Journal of Tourism Research, and Journal of Sustainable Tourism.
