Job description
Digitization and robotization are rapidly and radically changing the nature of work in modern organizations. In many sectors, jobs will partly be taken over by digital technologies and an even greater part of human work will involve collaborating with (advanced) technology. Consequently, jobs and (collaborative) work processes need to be redesigned. This raises all sorts of questions. How should tasks be shared or divided between employees and “intelligent agents”? How do we ensure that humans and robots can collaborate effectively? And how do we safeguard meaningful work and worker well-being in a digitized work context? If you are interested to help answer these questions in a multidisciplinary research environment, then we are looking for you.Your research will focus on the implementation and use of robots and AI in organizational contexts, and the implications for job design (in terms of meaningful work), work processes (e.g., collaboration, decision making) and work outcomes
(e.g., productivity, learning, well-being). A particular emphasis will lie on
the moral and social aspects of digitization and robotization of work.
