Innovating for the future necessitates a deep theoretical understanding of how individuals cognitively and behaviorally cope with and adapt to shifting paradigms of work and rapid technological advancements. With this in mind, we offer an in-depth examination of the psychological and behavioral mechanisms underpinning how people perceive and react to emerging challenges and opportunities in the new world of work. The first presentation explores independent, creative workers, delving into their unique strategies for navigating non- traditional work structures and their adaptation in terms of both psychological orientation and physical presence. The second presentation challenges conventional views on self-disclosure, proposing that people often exceed (overdisclose) or fall short of (underdisclose) their conversation partner’s level of self-disclosure during an interaction. The third presentation introduces a relational theory of microaggressions, a phenomenon increasingly prevalent in modern work settings, and examines the perceptions and responses of individuals and the reactions of perpetrators. The fourth presentation shifts the focus to the perceptions of generative AI in the domain of advice- giving, probing into how individuals may experience the potential benefits and drawbacks of AI tools in the advice generation process. Finally, the last presentation underscores the significance of technology identification as a key factor influencing individuals’ willingness to adopt new technologies, demonstrating its role in shaping technological integration in the workplace. Collectively, these presentations will shed light on the multifaceted ways in which human actors are responding to evolving work environments and offer important insights for understanding and navigating the future of work.
