Der Artikel befaßt sich mit dem Einfluß neuer Technologien auf die Arbeitswelt und das Verhältnis zwischen Berufs- und Privatleben. Nach einem Überblick über die technische Entwicklung in den Vereinigten Staaten und den Wandel des Arbeitsverständnisses wird der Einzug neuer Technologien in den Bereich privater Haushalte beschrieben. Der Autor entwirft das Szenario einer Arbeitswelt, in der der Durchschnittsarbeitnehmer sechs oder sieben Jahre in einem traditionellen Arbeitsverhältnis steht, um dann seinen Arbeitsplatz nach Hause zu verlegen. Hier könnte er unter Anwendung reduzierter und flexibler Arbeitszeiten besser seinen familiären Verpflichtungen nachkommen. Schließlich würde er wieder für Teilzeitarbeiten ins normale Arbeitsleben zurückkehren. Es wird eine Reihe von politischen Maßnahmen aufgezählt, die helfen könnten, ein solches Beschäftigungssystem zu ermöglichen. (IAB)
In this concluding chapter, we articulate four salient patterns that emerge from the contributors' eight narratives about mobile work and life: (1) the performance, presentation, and meaning of work, when activities are interwoven in personal, relational, and work spheres across contexts; (2) the multiplicity in identity and self‐presentation; (3) the context and the decontextualization and recontextualization of meaning in changing spaces; and (4) the technological change and dexterity as well as the centrality of communication technologies in defining and redefining what it means to be a mobile worker. We explore each of these themes by referencing examples from the narratives to illustrate how mobile work is redefining the very meaning of work and its place in our lives. We conclude by suggesting directions for further research on mobility in the workplace.
Etos pracy w życiu i twórczości Adama (ojca Jacka) Woronieckiego i Kazimiery (siostry Marty) Wołowskiej
Prezentowany tekst stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie: Jaki etos pracy potwierdzali swoim życiem i twórczością Adam Woroniecki (ojciec Jacek, dominikanin) oraz Kazimiera Wołowska (siostra Marta, niepokalanka)? Rozwiązując ten problem w treściach artykułu poruszono następujące kwestie: etos pracy jako przedmiot badań pedagogiki; dzieciństwo i młodość Adama Woronieckiego i Kazimiery Wołowskiej jako czas przygotowania do wyboru drogi życiowej; realizacja powołania zakonnego jako spełnianie chrześcijańskiego etosu pracy; świadectwo życia jako istota praktykowania chrześcijańskiego etosu pracy przez o. Jacka i s. Martę.

This essay, written with the help of his devoted wife, Mrs. Dorothy Burnham Lissner, was prepared at the request of the current editor of the AJES. This essay was written during the fall of 1999. On September 10, Mrs. Lissner informed me that, "The early history of the Journal is all done. . . . I hope it is satisfactory . . . Will and I worked very hard on it. Long hours. . . . so I decided to interview him and take down what he said or have him answer on tape. Then I put everything together on the computer, almost like an article. He [Will Lissner] has checked it and thinks it's perfect, that we can do no better" (correspendence of D. B. Lissner with L. Moss, 9/10/99). This is the last known writing of Will Lissner and summarizes his aims, goals, and ambitions for this Journal nearly six decades after its founding. Had Will had more time, this essay would have been the first of a series of reflections on this history of this Journal.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an argument supporting the growth of online outsourcing, which will exponentially increase in the coming years with the spread of internet availability to the less-developed regions of the world. In addition, this paper stresses the role of human decision-making in fostering this growth, rather than promoting inhibitory policies because of nationalism or fear of change.
Design/methodology/approach First, globalization and the three "waves" of outsourcing are discussed. Next, the economic principles guiding online outsourcing (disintermediation, the rise of global internet connectivity and the benefits of output-based pay over input-based pay) are discussed. After explaining how artificial intelligence will complement rather than replace human laborers, a case study and evidence are provided. Then, suggestions for government policies going forward, including skill development and education are provided. Finally, the debate that will inevitably emerge regarding online worker benefits is introduced.
Findings Evidence points toward the growth of online outsourcing and the resulting increased efficiency and gains through this type of trade. The increase in freelance workers and their earnings, the investments of Google and Facebook to develop internet capabilities in less-developed regions and the reducing costs of technology (such as laptops) provide support for this argument (Elance, 2013; Forbes, 2014; Pofeldt, 2015). Finally, a case study provides evidence illustrating how individuals may gain from these advances.
Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature by providing a compelling argument for the upcoming transition to increased efficiency in work through online outsourcing. Technological advances will allow the modern worker to delegate his/her mundane tasks so that he/she is free to focus on more pressing issues. This shift will multiply the domestic and foreign labor markets, creating opportunities that have not been available to this point. As this transition is not inevitable, this paper further outlines suggestions for policymakers to ensure maximized gains in the future.
