Overview

Digital work has become increasingly common, taking a wide variety of forms including working from home, mobile work, gig work, crowdsourcing, and online volunteering. It is organisationally, interpretively, spatially, and temporally complex.  An array of innovative methodologies have begun to emerge to capture this complexity, whether through re-purposing existing tools, devising entirely novel methods, or mixing old and new.  This volume brings together some of these techniques in an accessible sourcebook for management, business, organisational, and work researchers.It presents a range of innovative methods which capture and analyse digitally-related work practices through reflexive accounts of real-world research projects, and elucidates the range of challenges such methods may raise for research practice. It outlines debates and recommendations, and provides further reading and information to support research practice. Research Methods for Digital Work and Organization is organised in four sections that reflect different areas of focus and methodological approaches: working with screens; digital working practices; distributed work and organising; and digital traces of work. It then concludes by reflecting on the methodological issues, research ethics, requisite skills, and future of research given the intensification of digital work during a global pandemic that has impacted all aspects of our lives.This title is available as an eBook.
