Employee experiences and well-being in rapidly transformed virtual teams

The nature of work is changing rapidly and global trends such as demographic changes, exponential technological growth and changes in individual value systems have accelerated a shift with regards to how, where and when work is organized. Whilst an abundance of research has explored the implications of modern work from economic and sociological perspectives and discussed the consequences for organizations, relatively little is known about how the changing notion of work impacts workers and teams. This symposium addresses this gap by bringing together leading scholars who will shed light on how workers experience changes in work and how this influences their careers, their attitudes and their wellbeing. Using the presentations as a starting point, the aim of the symposium is to discuss common patterns, but also interesting differences in order to identify how individuals benefit from modern work, whilst highlighting potential challenges and drawbacks.
