Doctoral thesis

Abstract:

The future of work is a significant challenge facing organisations, policymakers and individuals worldwide. This dissertation presents a comprehensive exploration of an evolving paradigm of work characterized by integrating remote work practices, emerging digital nomadism, and innovative use of technologies such as metaverse in the workplace. The main aim of the dissertation is to explore the future of work - focusing on the dynamics of remote working, the impact of new technologies such as metaverse in the workplace and the concept of digital nomadism. This dissertation introduces a new methodological framework for open and transparent scientific mapping, promoting a transparent research workflow that includes careful data management and open dissemination of results. The findings of this dissertation illuminate broad trends and shifts in the future of work and reveal how digital transformation - encompassing remote work, digital nomadism, and the integration of metaverse technologies - is changing the shape of employment and organisational structures. The dissertation results also showcased the use of bibliometrics in evidence-based decision-making and management in organisations and policy. The results of the work are presented in the form of recommendations from the perspective of organizational management, policy makers, and social and environmental perspectives to promote a more adaptive, inclusive and sustainable approach to work in the digital era.
