Abstract

Introduction: The last few decades have seen drastic changes in the world of work. These global transformations of work towards more digital, decentralized and democratic forms are commonly referred to as NewWork (NW). NW is frequently described as a container term encompassing a broad set of concepts. In order to provide conceptual clarity, the aim of this review was to develop an integrated conceptual framework of NW-settings, i.e., workplaces that have implemented different NW measures.

Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted, following the framework by Arksey and O'Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute.

Results: Based on the synthesis of 99 included articles, we developed a multidimensional conceptual framework of NW-settings, which consists of four dimensions: flexibility, digitalization, democratization and agility, and 14 inter-related sub-dimensions.

Discussion: This framework facilitates a clearer understanding of NW and provides valuable insights for contemporary work practices and the broader social implications of digital and organizational transformations in our world of work.

开发新工作设置的综合概念框架：系统的范围审查。

引言：在过去的几十年里，工作领域发生了巨大的变化。这种全球性的工作向数字化、去中心化和民主化转变，通常被称为新工作（NewWork）。NW通常被描述为包含广泛概念集的容器术语。为了提供概念上的清晰度，本次审查的目的是制定一个西北环境的综合概念框架，即实施不同西北措施的工作场所。方法：在Arksey和O'Malley以及Joanna Briggs研究所的框架下，进行了系统的范围评估。结果：在综合99篇纳入文献的基础上，构建了由灵活性、数字化、民主化和敏捷性四个维度以及14个相互关联的子维度构成的西北环境多维度概念框架。讨论：该框架有助于更清晰地理解NW，并为当代工作实践以及我们工作世界中数字化和组织转型的更广泛的社会影响提供有价值的见解。
