项目摘要

The Digital Futures at Work Research Centre (Dig.IT) will establish itself as an essential resource for those wanting to understand how new digital technologies are profoundly reshaping the world of work. Digitalisation is a topical feature of contemporary debate. For evangelists, technology offers new opportunities for those seeking work and increased flexibility and autonomy for those in work. More pessimistic visions, in contrast, see a future where jobs are either destroyed by robots or degraded through increasingly precarious contracts and computerised monitoring. Take Uber as an example: the company claims it is creating opportunities for self-employed entrepreneurs; while workers' groups increasingly challenge such claims through legal means to improve their rights at work.While such positive and pessimistic scenarios abound of an increasingly fragmented, digitalised and flexible transformation of work across the globe, theoretical understanding of contemporary developments remains underdeveloped and systematic empirical analyses are lacking. We know, for example, that employers and governments are struggling to cope with and understand the pace and consequences of digital change, while individuals face new uncertainties over how to become and stay 'connected' in turbulent labour markets. Yet, we have no real understanding of what it means to be a 'connected worker' in an increasing 'connected' economy. Drawing resources from different academic fields of study, Dig.IT will provide an empirically innovative and international broad body of knowledge that will offer authoritative insights into the impact of digitalisation on the future of work.The Dig.IT centre will be jointly led by the Universities of Sussex and Leeds, supported by leading experts from Aberdeen, Cambridge, Manchester and Monash Universities. Its core research programme will cover four broad-ranging research themes. Theme one will set the conceptual and quantitative base for the centre's activities. Theme two involves a large-scale survey of Employers' Digital Practices at Work. Theme three involves qualitative research on employers' and employees' experiences of digitalisation at work across 4 sectors (Creative industries, Business Services, Consumer Services, Public Services). Theme 4 examines how the disconnected attempt to reconnect, through Public Employment Services, the growth of new types of self-employment, platform work and workers' responses to building new forms of voice and representation in an international context. Specific projects include:1. The Impact of Digitalisation on Work and Employment-Conceptualising digital futures, historically, regionally and internationally-Comparative regulation of digital employment- Mapping regional and international trends of digital technology and work2. Employers' Digital Practices at Work Survey3. Employers' and employees' experiences of digital work across sectors-Changing management processes and practices-Workers' experiences of digital transformation4. Reconnecting the disconnected: new channels of voice and representation- displaced workers, job search and the public employment service- self-employment, interest representation and voiceDig.IT will establish a Data Observatory on digital futures at work to promote our findings through an interactive website, report on a series of methodological seminars and new experimental methods and deliver extensive outreach activities. It will act as a one-platform library of resources at the forefront of research on digital work and will establish itself as a focal point for decision-makers across the policy spectrum, connecting with industrial strategy, employment and welfare policy. It will also manage an Innovation Fund designed to fund novel research ideas, from across the academic community as they emerge over the life course of the centre.

数字未来工作研究中心（Dig.IT）将成为那些想要了解新数字技术如何深刻重塑工作世界的人的重要资源。数字化是当代辩论的一个主题。对于福音传道者来说，技术为那些寻找工作的人提供了新的机会，并为工作中的人提供了更大的灵活性和自主性。相比之下，更悲观的观点认为，未来的工作要么被机器人摧毁，要么因为越来越不稳定的合同和计算机化的监控而退化。以Uber为例：该公司声称它正在为自营职业企业家创造机会;而工人团体越来越多地通过法律的手段挑战此类主张，以改善他们的工作权利。尽管这种积极和悲观的情景比比皆是，全球范围内的工作日益碎片化、数字化和灵活化，但对当代发展的理论理解仍然不发达，缺乏系统的实证分析。地球仪。例如，我们知道，雇主和政府正在努力科普和理解数字变革的步伐和后果，而个人则面临着如何在动荡的劳动力市场中成为并保持“联系”的新的不确定性。然而，我们并没有真实的理解在一个日益“连接”的经济中成为一个“连接的工人”意味着什么。Dig.IT将从不同的学术研究领域汲取资源，提供经验创新和国际化的广泛知识体系，为数字化对未来工作的影响提供权威见解。Dig.IT中心将由苏塞克斯大学和利兹大学共同领导，并得到来自阿伯丁大学、剑桥大学、曼彻斯特大学和莫纳什大学的顶尖专家的支持。其核心研究计划将涵盖四个广泛的研究主题。主题一将为中心的活动奠定概念和数量基础。主题二涉及雇主在工作中的数字实践的大规模调查。主题三涉及对雇主和雇员在4个行业（创意产业，商业服务，消费者服务，公共服务）的数字化工作体验的定性研究。主题4探讨了通过公共就业服务重新连接新类型自营职业、平台工作和工人对在国际背景下建立新形式的声音和代表的反应的脱节尝试。具体项目包括：1.数字化对工作和就业的影响-从历史、区域和国际角度对数字未来进行概念化-数字就业的比较监管-绘制数字技术和工作的区域和国际趋势2。雇主在工作中的数字实践调查3。雇主和员工在各行业的数字化工作经验-不断变化的管理流程和实践-员工的数字化转型经验4。重新连接断开的设备：信息技术部将建立一个工作中的数字未来数据观察站，通过一个互动网站宣传我们的研究结果，报告一系列方法研讨会和新的实验方法，并开展广泛的外展活动。它将作为数字工作研究前沿的一个资源平台图书馆，并将成为整个政策范围内决策者的联络点，与产业战略，就业和福利政策联系起来。它还将管理一个创新基金，旨在资助新的研究想法，从整个学术界，因为他们出现在该中心的生命历程。
