Punching the Clock: Adapting to the New Future of Work

Autor Joe Ungemah
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 aug 2021
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, trends already underway towards the Future of Work and the gig economy rapidly and unexpectantly accelerated. Physical isolation, travel restrictions, and social distancing challenged organizations to rethink how work gets done and by whom, with ramifications that will stretch beyond the pandemic. Punching the Clock explores how well workers are likely to both navigate and adapt to this new Future of Work, using the best of psychological science as a guide. Although the nature of work might have changed, the drives and needs of workers have not. Psychologists working across disciplines have amassed a deep understanding of these psychological forces, and when brought to bear on the changing workplace landscape, this knowledge can inform our ability to adapt and thrive. By drawing together cognitive, social, and organizational psychology with empirical research of the workplace, Ungemah examines the extent to which the Future of Work and the gig economy can be realized without breaking down the social fabric that holds the workplace together.

Recenzii

Leaders who believe we should return to pre-pandemic ways of working should bypass this book. Punching the Clock suggests we can create a future of work that transcends us beyond old-school power plays and systemic discrimination, but only if we commit to learning from the past and doing things differently in the future.

Learning how to adapt to the New Future of Work from the lens of science and occupational psychology is both provocative and enlightening. Ungemah talks to the very core of our workplace environment, which is impacted less by employee distraction and more by future challenges requiring leaders to be astute observers of their employees, in order to build respect, manage conflict, and achieve results.
Compelling, relevant and factual, Ungemah pulls together diverse concepts and ideas into thoughtful story-telling chapters, where readers can learn about both positive and negative themes of organizational behavior in a pandemic and gig economy world.
