This study aims at better understanding how the massive shift to telework following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020 affected workers' jobs and lives. In particular, we shed light on how this exogenous change had an impact on tasks content and work organisation dimensions...

This article explores the association between digital technologies that enable new forms of man-agement and the presence of psychosocial risks in the workplace, drawing on a representative survey of European establishments (ESENER 2019). It also ascertains whether occupational safety and health...

This paper provides a conceptual framework for the emerging phenomenon of algorithmic man-agement and outlines some of the implications for work, from work organisation to working condi-tions (job quality).
