This annual research competition aims to foster management scholarship on the Future of Work by supporting promising research on the topic.

Academy of Management Annual General Meeting - Future of Work professional development workshop.

The goal of this workshop is to invite management scholars to collectively shape a research agenda on the Future of Work. In the inaugural workshop in 2021, three editors from top tier management journals shared their perspective on how scholars can contribute to the Future of Work, and over 80 participants joined to discuss research on the Future of Work. Since then, each year, scholars and practitioners have convened to discuss key issues in the future of work and how research can help organizations to tackle them.
