Work technologies often emphasize productivity. We suggest a value shift: designing these tools with employee happiness as a central goal. Being happy is a primary life goal for many people. Additionally, happiness positively influences various work-...

The workplace is a site for the rapid development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. However, our research suggests that their adoption could already be hindered by critical issues such as trust, privacy, and security. This paper ...

The increasing integration of computing technologies in the workplace has also seen the conceptualization and development of data-driven and algorithmic tools that aim to improve workers’ wellbeing and performance. However, both research and practice ...

While remote work may not be suitable for everyone, it holds promise, particularly for those shouldering domestic labor and responsibilities. Our position paper draws on feminist geography, enabling HCI and Futures of Work researchers to critically ...

Work environments are commonly designed with non-disabled people in mind. In this contrasting review, we explore how Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research approaches neurodivergence in workplace settings. We provide an in-depth analysis of eleven ...

Telepresence robotics enable people to synchronously communicate and interact at a distance. The Covid-19 pandemic caused in-person teaching and research activities to migrate online in almost all society sectors (including higher education). In hybrid ...

The new technologies of generative AI present important ethical challenges for application design in relation to human work and future workplaces. Using an extended design fiction, we conducted a critical inquiry into possible futures of generative ...

In this position paper we highlight the importance of temporal aspects in human-AI collaboration for work. We focus on chat-based interactions powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), because of their increasing availability and extensive use for ...

The introduction of generative AI into multi-user applications raises novel considerations for the future of collaborative work. How might collaborative work practices change? How might we incorporate generative AI into shared tools with users’ needs at ...

In recent years, companies massively invested in videoconferencing and awareness support tools to support hybrid forms of collaborative work. Current market solutions feature various augmentations of videoconferencing software based on tracked ...

Systems aimed at stress awareness and reflection training by those in high-stress work environments may aid the development of stress management skills to alleviate and manage future workplace traumas. However, there is a notable gap in research ...

Accurate time estimations are vital for meeting deadlines and reducing work-related stress, yet individuals frequently succumb to a wide-spread cognitive bias, the planning fallacy, resulting in poor time management. This research article reports on two ...

As the complexity of daily tasks grows, knowledge workers experience challenges in managing tasks and risk skipping over some. Fortunately, various task management tools have become available, ranging from traditional tools, such as sticky notes, to ...

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are professionals who work with children and adults in the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and intervention for speech, language, and communication difficulties. This research investigates the experiences and ...

Generative AI is rapidly transforming the practice of programming. At the same time, our understanding of who writes programs, for what purposes, and how they program, has been evolving. By facilitating natural-language-to-code interactions, large ...

Generative AI tools can help users with many tasks. One such task is data analysis, which is notoriously challenging for non-expert end-users due to its expertise requirements, and where AI holds much potential, such as finding relevant data sources, ...

Investment in employees is increasingly vital for fostering a sustainable and inclusive workplace. While past research has linked investment in employees (i.e., financial benefits and well-being efforts) to individual company performance, it mainly ...

Digital platforms have become central in job search. Job-seekers’ experiences with these platforms, however, is a relatively new research area. This paper presents findings from 27 interviews with US low-income job-seekers. Job-seekers encountered many ...

Effectively prompting empathy from service employees towards users is a challenging yet essential endeavor to support user-centric approaches plebiscited by service companies. In this study, we investigate to which extent emotional and engaging users’ ...

Technologies adopted by the public sector have transformed the work practices of employees in public agencies by creating different means of communication and decision-making. Although much of the recent research in the future of work domain has ...
