Devido à evolução acelerada da tecnologia e à mudança das práticas de gestão, uma série de teorias e análises sobre o futuro do trabalho têm surgido. No entanto, o foco tem se mantido em questões tecnológicas e comerciais, com pouco aprofundamento na área de relações humanas e na compreensão do homem sobre sua própria realização. O aumento do nível de complexidade da discussão do papel do trabalho com temas como propósito e significado nas atividades profissionais desperta a busca por conhecimento sobre os mecanismos da satisfação das necessidades humanas por meio da ação produtiva. Novas formas de trabalho, têm demandado o aumento da autonomia e da individualidade na execução das tarefas. Portanto, este estudo aprofunda-se no conceito de Autorrealização e das pessoas autorrealizadas, segundo Maslow (1954), para identificar sua relação com variáveis de perfil do indivíduo e de sua relação com o trabalho e se há correlação de variáveis de perfil pessoal, histórico profissional e preferências/visão de trabalho, com o índice SISA, que classifica autorrealização nos indivíduos. A pesquisa foi elaborada por método de abordagem quantitativa e aplicada por meio de questionário online composto pelo índice de identificação de autorrealização (SISA) e por questões de identificação de perfil e preferências no trabalho, no 1º semestre de 2018, durante o período de 7 dias, com uma amostra total de 4.048 pessoas. Foram identificados 394 (9,7%) indivíduos autorrealizados. O percentual de pessoas autorrealizadas foi mais acentuado no grupo mais maduro e com mais experiência profissional. A chance de um indivíduo ser autorrealizado mostrou-se correlacionada com o nível educacional. Em relação a pessoas que cursaram apenas o Ensino Médio, indivíduos com nível Superior, Pós-Graduação ou Mestrado/Doutorado têm, respectivamente, mais chance de serem autorrealizados em 1,23, 1,87, 2,48 vezes. Profissionais que atuam em organizações flexíveis, com gestão modernizada, apresentaram o perfil autorrealizado 1,39 vez mais do que os sujeitos que atuam em empresas hierárquicas. A maior parte da amostra (50,7% ou 2.053) trabalha sob o vínculo tradicional (CLT) e apresentou percentual de pessoas autorrealizadas inferior à média da amostra (7,4%). Indivíduos com vínculo de empresário, empreendedor ou autônomo somados apresentaram índice de autorrealização superior (21,3%). 90% das pessoas informaram ter sofrido impactos emocionais negativos no trabalho. Deste modo, verificou-se que profissionais com mais experiência e nível escolar mais elevado, bem como indivíduos que atuam de forma mais autônoma ou trabalham em empresas flexíveis e com modelos de gestão modernos e objetivos negociados tendem a ser mais autorrealizados / Due to fast advances in technology and changes in managerial practices, several theories and studies on the future of work have emerged. However, the focus has been on technological and commercial issues, with little interest for human relations and man\'s understanding of his own actualization. Discussions about the role of work, its meaning and purpose have awakened the search for knowledge about mechanisms of satisfaction of human needs through productive action. New ways of working have demanded an increase in autonomy and individuality in the execution of task. This study relies on Maslows (1954) concept of Self-actualization and aims to identify personal information and historical professional profile and work preferences that will connect and correlate with on statistical basis with the SISA Short Index of Self Actualization. Quantitative data was gathered through online questionnaire applied in the first half of 2018, for a 7-day period, presenting questions about personal and professional profile identification and preferences at work + SISA. Total research sample = 4,048. SISA index of the exercise has identified 394 (9,7%) self-actualizing subjects. Higher self-actualization percentages were identified in the older and more experienced group. The odds of being a self-actualizing person has shown to be correlated with educational level and age. The higher the formal education level of a subject, stronger the probability of being a self-actualizing individual. Subjects working on flexible organizations and contemporary management models show 1,39 times more chance of being self-actualized, than workers on hierarchical organizations. 50,7% of the total sample is composed by individuals working under traditional employment strict rules (CLT). Subjects in this group presents lower probability (7,4%) of being self-actualized. Individuals whose jobs and employment agreements are more flexible and autonomous have superior index for self-actualization. 90% of the sample have mentioned negative emotional impact from previous jobs. Conclusions are that self-actualization potential will be higher as the subject is older, more experienced and has higher educational level. Flexible and autonomous working conditions will also have a positive impact on self-actualization index

Forms of work and working conditions are constantly changing within organizations, due to inter alia the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the boom of digitization and computerization. Labour market in developed countries is characterized by a higher representation of Generation Y and Generation Z employees whose job preferences differ from the previous generations' ones. These factors then result in transformation of forms and ways of work, working conditions, employee expectations and HR activities. The aim of this Master's thesis is to analyse the development and transformation of Work from a historical perspective, based on analysis and comparison of political documents, current scientific research and theoretically oriented scientific sources; and more importantly, to determine the main future trends in the world of work in connection with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its impacts on the field of work. Based on these trends, changes in selected HR activities and working conditions are outlined in this Master's thesis. A deeper examination of the subject is provided by a conducted empirical qualitative survey which is reflecting the theoretical basis and mapping the above- mentioned trends that are changing the concept of work and personnel activities in selected organizations.

Today (2014), software is the key ingredient of most products and services. Software generates innovation and progress in many modern industries. Software is an indispensable element of evolution, of quality of life, and of our future. Software development is (slowly) evolving from a craft to an industrial discipline. Software – and the ability to efficiently produce and evolve high-quality software – is the single most important success factor for many highly competitive industries. Software technology, development methods and tools, and applications in more and more areas are rapidly evolving. The impact of software in 2025 in nearly all areas of life, work, relationships, culture, and society is expected to be massive. The question of the future of software is therefore important. However – like all predictions – quite difficult. Some market forces, industrial developments, social needs, and technology trends are visible today. How will they develop and influence the software we will have in 2025?:Impact of Heterogeneous Processor Architectures and Adaptation Technologies on the Software of 2025 (Kay Bierzynski) 9 Facing Future Software Engineering Challenges by Means of Software Product Lines (David Gollasch) 19 Capabilities of Digital Search and Impact on Work and Life in 2025 (Christina Korger) 27 Transparent Components for Software Systems (Paul Peschel) 37 Functionality, Threats and Influence of Ubiquitous Personal Assistants with Regard to the Society (Jonas Rausch) 47 Evolution-driven Changes of Non-Functional Requirements and Their Architecture (Hendrik Schön) 57

The phenomenon of Digital Nomads (DN) is quickly becoming a rising trend within the knowledge workforce. Their idea is to work remotely and travel the world at the same time. In this thesis 8 semi-structured interviews with DNs were performed to answer the following research questions: (1) What kind of challenges do Digital Nomads face and how do they overcome them? (2) What can we learn from digital nomadism in relation to the future of work? Half of the participants were self-employed DN and the other half were employed by a company. Challenges they faced were divided into three perspectives: individual, work-related and global challenges. Their definition of a ‘true’ DN, their attitudes towards corporate work and experienced challenges are presented in the findings. By analyzing the findings, DN in relation to the future of work is discussed as well as challenges DN and corporates face together and suggestions on how to create a better collaboration between the two is presented.

The ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution fundamentally changes the world of work. Recent technological innovations have a significant impact on global economy, all areas of the national economy and on our everyday life. This diploma thesis deals with these impacts on the labour market in connection with the advancing trend of automation and digitization of work. Discussion on the future development of the revolution is in the sphere of expertise highly polarized. Versions that represent a negative view of the issue include image of massive job replacement, lack of talent and the rise of socio-economic and other inequalities. On the other hand, there are concepts that emphasize the positive impact on the labour market. The aim of this diploma thesis is to classify the trends in the working relations through the comparison of these two opinion streams and the systematic arrangement of the arguments presented by them. The final part addresses the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the Czech Republic. KEY WORDS the Fourth Industrial Revolution, automation, digitization, future of work, labour market, flexibility at work, new trends in employment

This study aims to explore future forms of work and their connection to innovation capabilities. Moreover, to deep-dive into how the gig-economy might evolve through business model innovation within knowledge-intense professions. The gig-economy as a phenomenon is relatively new and previous research is limited. Due to the limited amount of research, it’s safe to assume that the gig-economy still is in an early developing phase and that possible business model development therefore is valuable to predict. The method for this study is a forecast analysis where data from 21 respondents have been collected as well as secondary sources such as newspapers, media, webbinairs and reports. Through thematic analysis of the collected data the study predicts seven upcoming and current trends. These trends lay the groundwork for a scenario prediction resulting in four potential futures for the gig-economy: The public opinion rules, The individual rules, The business giants’ rules and The niche businesses rules. The study finds that the gig-economy has a natural place in the future of work and that it can contain elements which fosters innovation capabilities, partly through open innovation and sharing of competences and knowledge. / Denna studie ämnar undersöka framtidens arbetsformer och hur dessa kan främja innovation. Dessutom djupdyker studien i hur gig-ekonomi kan komma att utvecklas genom affärsmodellsinnovation för kunskapsintensiva yrkesgrupper. Gig-ekonomi är ett relativt nytt fenomen och tidigare forskning på området är begränsat. På grund av arbetsformens unga ålder finns det anledning att tro att vi är i en tidig fas av denna affärsmodell och att det kan finnas ett värde i att undersöka hur en förväntad utveckling kommer se ut. Studien har omvärldsanalys som huvudsaklig metod där data från 21 respondenter samlats in tillsammans med sekundärdata från tidningar, medier, webbinarier och rapporter. Genom tematiska analyser framkommer sju aktuella trender. Dessa trender ligger till grund för ett scenariokors med fyra potentiella framtidsscenarion för gig-ekonomin, opinionen styr, individen styr, företagsjättarna styr och nischade företag styr. Slutsatsen mynnar ut i att gig-ekonomi har en självklar del i framtidens arbetssätt och att gig-ekonomi innehåller element som kan främja innovation, inte minst genom open innovation och delande av kompetens och kunskap.

Un accroissement de l’intérêt porté au télétravail est apparu depuis la pandémie. Les études sont de plus en plus nombreuses à s’intéresser à son évolution et aux formes qu’il peut prendre. Dans la foulée de ces études, il nous a semblé pertinent d’étudier l’influence du soutien organisationnel et de l’adéquation des conditions physiques de télétravail sur l’adaptation au télétravail, ainsi que la façon dont les stresseurs interagissent avec e processus d’adaptation. En se basant sur la théorie de la conservation des ressources (Hobfoll, 1989), l’objectif de ce mémoire est de déterminer s’il existe un lien entre les ressources et l’adaptation et si les stresseurs exercent un effet de médiation. Nous analysons l’effet du soutien organisationnel et des conditions physiques de télétravail comme ressources, ainsi que la charge de travail et la charge familiale comme stresseurs afin d’expliquer le mécanisme d’adaptation au télétravail. Les données utilisées ont été collectées entre le 7 juillet 2020 et le 7 septembre 2020 par la Chaire BMO en diversité et gouvernance de l’Université de Montréal dans le cadre d’un partenariat de recherche intitulé « Crise COVID-19 et télétravail : un remède universel ou une solution ponctuelle? » L’échantillon final de 12 367 répondants est composé en majorité de femmes. Les participants travaillent tous dans une même grande organisation, ils sont âgés de 18 à 77 ans et ils vivent dans dix-sept régions administratives du Québec. La majorité d’entre eux ont un diplôme universitaire et ont un statut de salarié. Des analyses descriptives, des analyses bivariées et des analyses multivariées par des régressions hiérarchiques ont été utilisées pour tester les hypothèses. Les résultats ont montré que certaines ressources telles que le soutien organisationnel et les conditions physiques peuvent prédire une meilleure adaptation au télétravail. Nos analyses ont révélées que le soutien organisationnel et la charge de travail ne sont pas significativement reliés. De plus, certains stresseurs, tels que la charge de travail et la charge familiale, jouent un rôle dans ces relations. Les effets de la charge de travail varient en fonction de son intensité. Une faible charge familiale contribue à une meilleure adaptation au télétravail. / Interest in telecommuting has grown since the pandemic. More and more studies are looking at its evolution and the forms it can take. In the wake of these studies, we felt it relevant to investigate the influence of organizational support and the suitability of physical teleworking conditions on adaptation to teleworking, as well as the way stressors interact with the adjustment process. Based on Conservation of Resource Theory (Hobfoll, 1989), the aim of this dissertation is to determine whether there is a link between resources and adaptation, and whether stressors exert a mediating effect. We analyze the effect of organizational support and physical conditions of telecommuting as resources, and workload and family load as stressors, in order to explain the mechanism of telecommuting adjustment. The data used were collected between July 7, 2020 and September 7, 2020 by the BMO Chair in Diversity and Governance at Université de Montréal as part of a research partnership entitled "Crise COVID-19 et télétravail: un remède universel ou une solution ponctuelle?" The final sample of 12,367 respondents is predominantly female. The participants all work in the same large organization, are aged between 18 to 77 years old and live in seventeen administrative regions of Quebec. The majority have a university degree and are salaried employees. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate hierarchical regression analyses were used to test hypotheses. The results showed that certain resources such as organizational support and physical conditions can predict better adaptation to teleworking. Our analyses revealed that organizational support and workload were not significantly related. In addition, certain stressors, such as workload and family load, play a role in these relationships. The effects of workload vary according to its intensity. A low family load contributes to better adaptation to teleworking.
