This book compares and analyzes different forms of reduced work: conventional part-time employment, temporary employment, job sharing, and work sharing. Through interviews, workers reveal their experiences with reduced work, particularly the extent to which they control their work schedules, how they use their time off, and whether they feel that reduced work improves or diminishes their quality of life. Negrey challenges the notions that reduced work is homogenous, and that it is uniformly positive (or negative) in its consequences for workers. She concludes that reduced work is sex-segregated in ways similar to full-time work, and, as it currently exists, reinforces unequal gender relations rather than contests them.

The sixth Australasian edition of Organisational Behaviour: Core Concepts and Applications stands as an exemplary resource tailored for one-semester courses in Organisational Behaviour. With a deliberate focus on succinctness, relevance, and visual presentation, its fourteen chapters are meticulously crafted to captivate rather than inundate students. Throughout the text, a plethora of case studies and real-world instances delve into how organisations across the Australian, New Zealand, and Asian regions navigate pressing contemporary business concerns. These include the imperative of sustainable business practices, grappling with environmental impact and climate change, mitigating the gender pay gap, addressing employee stress, fostering resilience and work-life balance, adapting to the dynamics of millennials and an ageing workforce, enhancing employee retention strategies, and navigating the complexities of globalisation and outsourcing. Additionally, topics such as fostering diversity in the workplace, responding to the workforce transformations precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, managing remote teams effectively, honing crisis management skills, and harnessing the potential of emerging technologies—particularly the ascendancy of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools—are comprehensively explored. This latest edition amplifies its focus on sustainability, entrepreneurial and adaptive leadership, and the pivotal role of technology in catalysing digital transformation within organisational contexts. Complemented by the latest research in the field, this text provides a thorough analysis of contemporary organisational behaviour.

Several major transformations have characterized the world of work in recent years. Those transformations follow different patterns in different countries, yet their dynamics are so interrelated that it is often hard, if not impossible, to distinguish the causal relationships among them. Technological advances, globalization, old and new media, demographic changes, and new production and economic systems are all key factors acting on this ongoing transformation which is impacting both the world of work and society as a whole. In the spirit of Karl Polanyi, the well-known scholar who described the rise of market-based societies, we are led to wonder if we are witnessing a new “Great Transformation of Work”, on such a scale that it might change the very meaning of work in our society, and even its anthropological connotations. Accordingly, this volume investigates and discusses the different aspects of this transformation from a comparative perspective. In order to propose better solutions to cope with these changes, it is necessary to analyze their ongoing dynamics. Lawmakers, unions, scholars and practitioners are all called to do their part in order to achieve the goals of sustainability and fairness of our economic systems.
