By drawing together cognitive, social, and organizational psychology with empirical research of the workplace, the book examines the extent to which the Future of Work and the gig economy can be realized without breaking down the social fabric that holds the workplace together. Psychologists working across disciplines have amassed a deep understanding of these psychological forces, and when brought to bear on the changing workplace landscape, this knowledge can inform our ability to adapt and thrive. Although the nature of work might have changed, the drives and needs of workers have not. Punching the Clock explores how well workers are likely to both navigate and adapt to this new Future of Work, using the best of psychological science as a guide. Physical isolation, travel restrictions, and social distancing challenged organizations to rethink how work gets done and by whom, with ramifications that will stretch beyond the pandemic. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, trends already underway towards the Future of Work and the gig economy rapidly and unexpectantly accelerated.
