Participation at AIB 2024 in Seoul
Prof. Dr. Tassilo Schuster presented the findings of his research on “The Influence of Work Digitalization on Psychological Contracts: Advancing the Dynamic Phase Model” at the Academy of International Business (AIB) Conference in Seoul on June 30th, 2024.
The study examines the impact of digital transformation on the evolving nature of psychological contracts between employers and employees. It explores how shifts in expectations, trust, and mutual obligations are reshaping these contracts in increasingly digital work environments. The presentation provided a valuable opportunity to share insights and engage in meaningful discussions with fellow academics on this timely and relevant topic.
