Transforming work organisation in automotive groups : Towards new freedoms or hidden compulsion to control?
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d1374475e88">This article explores the transformative impact of digitalisation and climate-neutral
mobility on the German automotive industry and examines how traditional Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) are responding to increasing competition from technology companies.
Using qualitative data, it highlights the challenges and resistance to adopting agile
work structures and contrasts these with the practices of technology start-ups. The
findings reveal that emotional factors such as fear and the need for control influence
management behaviour and create barriers to structural change. The analysis highlights
the complexity of reconciling late-modern work practices with traditional hierarchies
and provides insights into the strategic intentions that shape organisational change.

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d4966949e221">The digital transformation of industries has given rise to new categories of tech
workers, such as software engineers and UX/UI designers, who now work alongside traditional
engineers. This study explores the evolving relationship between these groups, focusing
on work processes, status perceptions and professional interactions. The research
questions addressed include: how has digitalisation affected these two groupsβ work
processes? what strategies do they use to maintain or improve their career paths?
and how do their roles converge or diverge? Using qualitative data from interviews
and workshops in a German automotive company undergoing a digital and electric mobility
transformation, the study finds both competition and cooperation between engineers
and IT professionals, with the former adopting some IT work methods and the latter
adjusting to the highly structured processes of the industrial sector. Despite growing
overlaps, distinct professional identities nevertheless remain.

Hybrid work in Europe: Concept and practice
The term βhybrid workβ was popularised with the upsurge of telework during the COVID-19 pandemic, when companies and employees started to discuss ways of organising work after the crisis. The term has been increasingly used to refer to situations in which (teleworkable) work is carried out from two
Fostering skills use for sustained business performance: Evidence
Human resources contribute to the success of an organisation though their skills. According to the ability, motivation, opportunity (AMO) model, employee contributions to organisational performance depend on their skills, their motivation to draw on their skills, and the opportunities to do so.

π΄Finally out on @SASE_Meeting Socio-Economic Review (SER) the paper I coauthored with D. Villani and M. Bisello on "Gender gaps in power and control within jobs". We studied if, within the same job, relevant differences emerge in the distribution of power and control between male and female workers and whether these differences persist as the share of women at the job level varies.
