Synopsis: The digital economy has fundamentally transformed how we live and work, bringing opportunities and challenges. One of the key challenges is understanding how to effectively navigate the relationship between people and technology and harness its power to foster creativity, innovation, and digital leadership. This book examines the relationship between people and technology in the digital workspace from a multidisciplinary perspective. Unlike most of the existing literature which focuses on the technological aspects of digitization in the workplace, this book equally considers the psychological, social, and cultural implications as well. The contributing authors also provide insights on employee well-being, motivation, and engagement and challenge the assumption that digital technology stifle creativity by demonstrating how innovation can foster collaboration, experimentation, and risk-taking. Featuring research, theories, case studies, surveys, and interviews from fields such as sociology, psychology and management, this book is of interest to scholars, researchers, and students in sociology, psychology, management and related disciplines, as well as professionals and leaders looking to better understand the impact of technology on the modern workplace.
