AMD Special Issue: Changing Nature of Work
Call for Papers on the Changing Nature of Work-Academy of Management Discoveries
To kindle interest in discovering contemporary worlds of work and occupations and in the hope of building more accurate and nuanced images of jobs, organizations, economies and people's lives, the Academy of Management Discoveries announces a special issue devoted to the changing nature of work.
No one disputes that the structure of Western economies has shifted away from one based primarily on manufacturing to one increasingly dominated by services and the professions, broadly construed. Many also claim that the nature and structure of organizations, jobs, and careers have also changed substantially (e.g., Evans, Kunda, & Barley, 1994; Hall, 1996; Rousseau, 1997). As the author of a recent article in New York magazine noted: "The traditional compact between employers and employees is slowly fading away, and with it, a way of thinking, a way of living, a way of relating to others and regarding oneself that generally comes with a reasonably predictable professional life" (Senior, 2015:1).Yet, with a few exceptions organizational scholars have paid surprisingly little attention to studying how work, occupations, and careers are changing (Barley and Kunda, 2001).
AMD will accept manuscripts for the special issue through December 31, 2015. Manuscripts should not be submitted after this date. We anticipate publishing the special issue in late 2016.
