Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.

A Research Agenda for Work and Employment critically analyses forthcoming developments and pressing issues within employment studies. By exploring crucial questions on changing employer demands and new forms of employment, it addresses the core topics shaping this fascinating area of business studies today.

Concise and poignant in its exploration of contemporary employment studies, the Research Agenda provides an essential introduction to research focused on outlining the future of work and employment. Bringing together a collective of well-established contributors and rising academic stars, Stephen Procter organises chapters into three innovative themes: global challenges; actors and sectors; and perspectives and trajectories. The role of the individual worker and the collective organisation are also addressed to offer a complete illustration of this evolving academic field.

This Research Agenda is perfect for academic researchers and students of organisational behaviour, human resources and employment trends looking for an accessible introduction to key areas of research in work and employment. Due to its practical scope, it is also beneficial for policy makers and those working in employment strategy.

Edited by Stephen Procter, Alcan Professor of Management, Newcastle University Business School, Newcastle University, UK
