Technological advancement has shifted the landscape of jobs, work, and organizations at an unprecedented speed and scale. The changes can be seen from a positive light, such that the advancement in science and technology has resulted in the creation of new jobs and industries and improvement in productivity and efficiency. However, these changes also bring challenges to the existing conception of work, the human resource and training pipeline, and skill obsolescence and worker displacement. This talk will discuss how technological changes may lead to both opportunities and threats for workers and organizations. Moreover, it will cover how research in organizational behavior can be positioned to inform workers, organizations, and policy makers to take advantage of the potential opportunities brought on by the new technologies.
