"This book will provide a good reference for researchers and academics in business, HR management, organizational psychology, and industrial relations who are studying the future of work. Practitioners and policymakers can also refer to this book, with a filter for leaving out any research done more than a decade ago. It is highly recommended for PhD students interested in the subject, because it opens windows for future research." (C.S. Arora, Computing Reviews, February 23, 2024)
