Abstract
We live and work in exciting times. The future workplace is bound to change rapidly with the fundamental transformation in the philosophy of work, i.e., the way work is viewed. The traditional view of life-long employment, central authority, and a fixed work schedule has been replaced by short-term contracts, decentralized management, and a flexible working schedule. Employees’ work views also change with the increasing diversity of the workforce, owing to higher mobility and globalization. This chapter explores three factors—cross-cultural differences, organizational diversity and inclusion, and individual self-reinforcing dynamics—that influence work views to improve cooperation and trust within the organization.
