The Implications of Increasingly Porous Boundaries for Workplace Relationships

Le résumé fourni par la source

Workplace relationships promote productivity, growth, and well-being in organizations. However, as the work context changes, the nature of workplace relationships, the processes by which they are formed and maintained, and their functions may change as well. This symposium includes four studies that examine the ways in which workplace and societal shifts impact relational processes and outcomes. All four studies emphasize the increasingly porous boundary between work and life, considering the effects of alternative work arrangements and macrosocietal events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and global wars on workplace relationships and examining how nonwork relationships may fulfill work-related needs. The presentations and planned discussion will shed light on the ways in which relationships may be impacted by changes to work and worker concerns and the ways in which relationships may help employees navigate the changing world of work.
