Research methods for digital work and organization: investigating distributed, multi-modal, and mobile work

---

Digital work is organizationally, interpretively, spatially and temporally complex. An array of innovative methodologies have begun to emerge to capture these activities, whether through re-purposing existing tools, devising entirely novel methods or mixing old and new. This book brings together some of these techniques in one volume as a sourcebook for management, business, organizational and work researchers pursuing projects in this field. The specific objectives of this book are to: present a range of innovative methods which capture and analyse digitally-related work practices through reflexive accounts of real world research projects; provide an accessible sourcebook of these methods for the business and management research community; elucidate the range of challenges such methods may raise for research practice, outlining debates and recommendations; and provide further reading and information to support research practice. The book is organised in four sections that reflect researchers' different areas of focus and methodological approaches: working with screens; digital working practices; distributed work and organizing; and digital traces of work. Each chapter provides a reflexive account of researchers' own experiences in developing methods that capture digital aspects of work and organization. We conclude by reflecting on the future of research given the current intensification of digital work during a global pandemic that is impacting all aspects of our lives
