Artificial intelligence in recruitment and selection
Purpose This paper aims to review how artificial intelligence (AI) shapes the evolution of recruitment and selection practice in organisations. The paper presents a new research agenda, supported by a conceptual model, to advance understanding of how technical aspects of AI-enabled recruitment are configured by relationships between various actors in the recruitment process and in different institutional and cultural contexts. Design/methodology/…
More than AI
Artificial intelligence (AI), and the use of Generative AI (GenAI) to increase productivity and replace workers has garnered much attention. However, prior to GenAI, the use of algorithms to automate the management of workers, reduce labour costs and increase productivity, was already occurring first in the gig economy and, more recently, in standard employer–employee work arrangements. Through interviews with HR managers, technology vendors and …
Stakeholder perspectives on pondscapes
Ponds and pondscapes are crucial habitats for biodiversity and provide significant ecosystem services and socio-cultural benefits. However, effective management of these habitats requires an in-depth evaluation of how stakeholders perceive them and interact with them. This study aims to explore stakeholder relationships with their local ponds and pondscapes to better understand their interactions, expectations, concerns, and perspectives, ultimat…
Relational frames of care
There has been a steady rise in platform-based care work around the world where private care -workers and care-seekers are matched by digital intermediary platforms for ‘care work gigs’. Care platforms position themselves as distinct from the typical transactional work arrangements in the gig economy, yet employ similar algorithmic features and functions to organise care work. Employing ethics-of-care as an interpretive lens, this article illustr…
Framing algorithmic management
Algorithmic management has been emerging in workplaces through human resource (HR) management technologies that allocate tasks, monitor work activity, and manage the productivity of employees. Growth of HR technologies has coincided with the rise of remote work, yet the role of technology providers in driving demand is under‐researched. Through a frame analysis of the marketing content on six HR technology websites, this article elucidates how te…
Benefits of co-creating higher education learning resources
This study investigates the perceived benefits to industry experts who engage with academics to co-create higher education learning resources. Academics are increasingly impelled to involve industry experts in learning and teaching to ensure that curriculum is authentic and relevant and prepares students for future professional careers. While benefits to students are well established by prior research, individual-level research into industry expe…
Caring in the Gig Economy
The rapidly expanding gig economy has been criticized for creating precarious and indecent working conditions. These critiques draw on decent work debates centred on employment classification, regulation and platform fairness, with less focus on the interactions between workers, platforms and clients, which are central to the experience of platform-mediated work. This article adopts a worker-centric relational perspective to explore decent work i…
Performativity and affective atmospheres in digitally mediated care labour
This paper offers an exploration of women’s experiences of engaging in digitally mediated care work. Data for this article is drawn from qualitative interviews conducted with 15 young women in Australia to explore their experiences of securing care work through a digital platform. Importantly, we focus on both online and offline dimensions of securing work, thus contributing to the extant literature which has tended to focus on the online aspects…
The impact of disruptive innovation on creative workers
The actual and potential impacts of technological disruption on established organisations and industries have received considerable attention. Yet, impacts on individual workers and professional groups, including in the creative sector that is at the forefront of disruption, remain under-examined. This study draws on in-depth interviews with professional photographers to explore how the convergence of technological innovations, digital media and …
Post-heroic heroism
Over time, the relevance of heroic leadership to contemporary corporate environments has been questioned, with media coverage arguing there is a need for alternate, post-heroic forms of leadership. Using a multimodal media analysis, we show how two leading Australian business magazines frame leadership in response to this debate, identifying three distinct frames of leadership. The first frame emphasizes masculinized heroic leadership as normativ…
Means of Control in the Organization of Digitally Intermediated Care Work
Digital platforms that facilitate care work are new entrants to the intermediary marketplace and they are growing in number in response to rising demand for care services. This study examines, through the lens of labour process theory, the means of control utilized by digital platforms operating in Australia which organize and direct disability and aged care. The analysis of terms and conditions and website content reveals four means of control t…
How professional photographers engage with and resist digital platform work
While there is emerging research on the motivations of workers who engage with specific digital platforms, scant attention has been afforded to the contours of the digital economy as they affect workers in occupational or professional contexts. Drawing on interviews with 51 Australian photographers, the authors examined the extent to which, and why, photographers engage with or resist digital platform work. The photographic profession is an ideal…
Mums with cameras
This article examines the discursive framing of motherhood and entrepreneurship in the context of the Australian photography industry. Drawing on interviews with both male and female professional photographers, we analyse framings of ‘the mumtographer’ and ‘mums with cameras’. Moving beyond the emphasis in the extant literature on mother business owners in general, our analysis delineates an industry‐specific articulation of the mumpreneur and ex…
A caring business
The article presents the main issues identified during interviews with a small sample of heads of private children's homes. The heads mentioned a number of problems that were not shared by their counterparts in local authorities and that seemed to stem from their position outside the local authority structure. These problems included securing prompt payment of fees, the need to relate to different local authorities with a variety of expectations,…
