Working from everywhere: The future of work and inclusive organizational behavior (IOB)

Summary The rapid digitalization of work, accelerated by the COVID‐19 pandemic, has fundamentally transformed organizational behavior and necessitated a reconceptualization of inclusion in virtual spaces. This editorial synthesizes six groundbreaking studies that advance our understanding of inclusive organizational behavior (IOB) in digital contexts. Drawing on these contributions, we propose a novel, multilevel framework for digital IOB that integrates individual, group, and organizational factors shaping inclusive experiences in virtual and hybrid work arrangements. Key themes emerging from the studies include (1) reconceptualizing inclusion for digital contexts, (2) multilevel dynamics of digital inclusion, and (3) technology as both enabler and barrier to inclusion. Our framework conceptualizes digital IOB as arising from complex interactions between individual, group, and organizational factors, mediated and moderated by technological infrastructures and practices. We discuss theoretical and practical implications, highlighting the need for holistic, systemic approaches to fostering digital inclusion and outlining promising avenues for future research in this critical area.

Abstract

Summary The rapid digitalization of work, accelerated by the COVID‐19 pandemic, has fundamentally transformed organizational behavior and necessitated a reconceptualization of inclusion in virtual spaces. This editorial synthesizes six groundbreaking studies that advance our understanding of inclusive organizational behavior (IOB) in digital contexts. Drawing on these contributions, we propose a novel, multilevel framework for digital IOB that integrates individual, group, and organizational factors shaping inclusive experiences in virtual and hybrid work arrangements. Key themes emerging from the studies include (1) reconceptualizing inclusion for digital contexts, (2) multilevel dynamics of digital inclusion, and (3) technology as both enabler and barrier to inclusion. Our framework conceptualizes digital IOB as arising from complex interactions between individual, group, and organizational factors, mediated and moderated by technological infrastructures and practices. We discuss theoretical and practical implications, highlighting the need for holistic, systemic approaches to fostering digital inclusion and outlining promising avenues for future research in this critical area.
