“…However, even before that -what is commonly known as digital nomads (Cook, 2020;Orel, 2019;Reichenberger, 2018;Sutherland & Jarrahi, 2017) had been working from remote places for at least 10 years. Digital nomads are people who have a locationindependent occupation and travel while they are performing that work (Cook, 2020;Prengler et al, 2021). This can take different forms, such as software engineers or programmers writing code for Western companies from south-east Asia, or a text editor writing articles, copy and blog posts while moving through South America (Chevtaeva & Denizci-Guillet, 2021;Prester & Schlagwein, 2019).…”

This paper examines how connectivity is accomplished in absence of a workplace. Connectivity is a theoretical framework to analyze how people connect and disconnect with each other through technologies. Digital nomads travel while they work, an example of workers who do not belong to a workplace or an organization. This absence of a workplace will affect how they connect and disconnect both within their work and outside work. An interview study with a grounded theory-based analysis found six themes that describe how the digital nomads interviewed connect and disconnect: first to and from a place, second to and from a place, and third two themes on how these patterns are reinforced. This is mobilized by a sociomaterial assemblage encompassed of more than just individuals communicating through technology. Previous research has focused on this, instead of focusing on the situatedness of connectivity. This contributes to research on connecting and disconnecting in connectivity and to research on digital nomads as part of a socio technical system.

“…refers to space that has been given meaning through personal, group, or cultural processes” (Low and Altman, 1992: 5). Through interactions with others, a physical site acquires meaning (Prengler, Klotz, and Murphy, 2020). Some scholars use the terms place and built environment synonymously to indicate the “physical surroundings given meaning through interaction” (Milligan, 2003: 382).…”

Co-Constructing Community and Entrepreneurial Identity: How Founders Ascribe Self-Referential Meanings to Entrepreneurship

Drawing on a 2.5-year ethnography of first-time founders in a coworking facility, I shed light on the process by which founders ascribe self-referential meaning to entrepreneurship—that is, how they develop an entrepreneurial identity in situ. I discovered that founders’ use of the coworking space occasioned distinct interaction patterns. Over time, varying interactions played a central role in whether the workspace became a community or remained a mere office space to these founders. Such emergent spatial meanings were coupled with whether founders themselves developed as entrepreneurs or not within their workspace. Founders’ perceptions of the workspace as a community were generally associated with their identifying more as entrepreneurs, while their perceptions of the workspace as an office were usually linked with their identifying less, and even disidentifying, as entrepreneurs. In explaining these dynamics, I contribute to research on identity and space, research on entrepreneurial identity, and broader scholarship on space and interactions in organizations. For first-time founders, the meanings associated with being an entrepreneur can be equivocal, and where they work helps to shape their answers to the questions “What is entrepreneurship to me?” and “Who am I?”

“…Finally, though we have largely thought about the changing landscape associated with the shift to virtual work, other novel work arrangements are gaining traction such as the four‐day work week (e.g., Hurler, 2022) or digital nomadism—location‐independent employees who are able to work anywhere in the world (e.g., Prengler et al., 2021). It is likely that in these novel work arrangements employees will still face challenges associated with regulating emotions with coworkers given general norms for positivity (Sutton, 2007).…”

The acceleration of emotional labor research: Navigating the past and steering toward the future

The past four decades of scholarship on emotional labor-the regulation of feelings and expressions performed to fulfill interpersonal work role expectations-has transformed our understanding of the purpose and outcomes of managing emotions at work. In last decade's comprehensive review by Grandey and Gabriel (2015), emotional labor research was described as stalled, with a need for detours around roadblocks related to three areas: (1) conceptualization and measurement of emotional labor; (2) more attention to the why and when emotional labor occurs; and (3) a wider set of performance and well-being criteria. In our focused review of the most recent decade, we highlight how scholars navigated around the roadblocks, pointing out the remaining speedbumps and calling attention to the ways that research in Personnel Psychology contributed to these new directions. We conclude with a map pointing scholars toward the intersection of emotional labor with three grand challenges for the future of work: employee mental health, diversity and inclusion, and remote/virtual work and novel work arrangementsthree topics that are needed extensions of where emotional labor scholarship has previously been. As such, our review builds an open road for the acceleration of emotional labor scholarship.
