About this book series

This series offers a platform for publishing cutting-edge research at the intersection of work, employment relations, organizational studies, and human resource management through monographs, edited volumes, and research handbooks. Adopting a pluralist approach, it fosters critical debate and discussion by engaging with various theoretical perspectives, including political economy, ethics, and governance systems. The series encourages high-quality contributions that explore the complexities of modern work environments within the context of globalized economic systems.

A central objective of the series is to examine how the drive for efficiency and high performance in organizations can be harmonized with the need for equity, inclusion, fair pay, dignity, well-being, environmental sustainability, and social justice. It explores the tensions and opportunities that arise as companies and institutions navigate the demands of a globalized workforce while seeking to foster a more humane and sustainable work future.

Key themes include the relationship between work and broader political, economic, and public policy frameworks that shape regulatory landscapes, business environments, work and technology, climate, the future of work and more sustainable organizational practices. Each peer-reviewed volume in the series investigates how these dynamics influence work experiences, employee well-being, and the evolving nature of labor in a global consumer-driven economy. By addressing these pressing issues, the series aims to contribute to meaningful reforms and sustainable practices in the future of work.

If you are interested in contributing a monograph, edited volume, or handbook to the series, please contact the Springer Publisher: Mamun Mishra (mamun.mishra@springernature.com)
