    Hybrid AOM Symposium: 
    New Ways of Working: Institutions, Identity, and Power
    (9 of August, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM, Seattle time)

      

    Join our discussions at the hybrid AOM Symposium on "New Ways of Working: Institutions, Identity, and Power"!

    The Corona pandemic has accelerated the growing trend for organizations to adopt so-called new ways of working, including practices such as conducting meetings through video conferencing , working from home, flexible working hours, agile methods, or holocratic structures. What seems to unite these empirical phenomena is the fact that they grant organizational members intentionally increasing discretion in terms of what to work on (autonomy to set priorities), when to work (temporal autonomy) and where to work (spatial autonomy).

    To increase our knowledge on new ways of working and its implications and effects on theory, we want to elaborate these aspects in three paper presentations (see below) on the following three conceptual foci: i) institutions, ii) organizational identity, as well as ii) power and politics. 

    At the end of the symposium, similarities and differences of these three perspectives shall be further elaborated together with Trish Reay as discussant and the audience.

    Paper presentations: 

    a) How Office Space Enables and Restricts New Ways of Working
    (Andrea Simone BarthRenate E. Meyer & Markus A. Höllerer)

    b) How 'New Ways of Working' Shape Organizational Identity Beliefs
    (Emamdeen Fohim & Claus D. Jacobs)

    c) From Micro- to Macro-Politics of NWOW
    (Michel Ajzen & Laurent Taskin)
