Models of work design emerged in the twentieth century to address workplace changes created by the industrial revolution. However, the world of work is currently undergoing a new, profound revolution in terms of technological, demographic, and environmental changes, leading to a new economy, within which organizations and employees must function. The field of work design currently includes robust theories with a deep understanding of how work design affects employee outcomes, many with relevance to this new economy. However, the new economy also includes issues never before considered (e.g., algorithmic management and gig and lone work), and the field of work design must tackle the implications of these emerging issues. In this article, we review the general findings on work design and then examine a range of contextual, economic, technological, and diversity issues and their relevance to work design. We conclude with an agenda for future work design research and implications for work analysis and work design interventions and policies.

新经济的挑战：工作设计的新时代

二十世纪出现的工作设计模型是为了应对工业革命带来的工作场所变化。然而，工作世界目前正在经历一场技术、人口和环境变化方面的新的、深刻的革命，从而催生新经济，组织和员工必须在新经济中发挥作用。工作设计领域目前包含强大的理论，深入了解工作设计如何影响员工的成果，其中许多理论与这种新经济相关。然而，新经济也包括以前从未考虑过的问题（例如，算法管理、零工和单独工作），工作设计领域必须解决这些新问题的影响。在本文中，我们回顾了工作设计的一般发现，然后研究了一系列背景、经济、技术和多样性问题及其与工作设计的相关性。最后，我们提出了未来工作设计研究的议程以及对工作分析和工作设计干预措施和政策的影响。
