Abstract
COVID-19 has resulted in dramatic and rapid changes to work, working conditions, and workplaces, all of which have had an enormous effect on individuals, organizations, and societies. As such, these changes have attracted a great deal of attention from scholars of social and psychological sciences. Against this backdrop, Rudolph etal. (Reference Rudolph, Allan, Clark, Hertel, Hirschi, Kunze, Shockley, Shoss, Sonnentag and Zacher2021) have aptly invited “[industrial and organizational (I-O)] psychology researchers and practitioners to address the challenges and opportunities of COVID-19 head-on by proactively innovating the work that we do in support of workers, organizations, and society as a whole” (p. X). Leading the charge, they discussed the work-related challenges and opportunities related to 10 topics: occupational health and safety, work–family issues, telecommuting, virtual teamwork, job insecurity, precarious work, leadership, human resources policy, the aging workforce, and careers.
