N2  - Within the digital era, agile working is imperative for organisations and workers to meet the needs of customers, service-users and ever-changing markets. This needs to be achieved whilst meeting goals of effectiveness and well-being. In this book, state-of-the-art theory is used to understand how to optimise agile working by addressing key issues around personality, team-working and management. The authors define the concept of agile working and unpack often-misunderstood terms associated with this, such as remote working and telework. The book explores the well-being consequences of agile work including sedentary behaviours, digital distraction, and digital resistance before offering insights for the future. Examining current practice in the context of established and emerging theory, the book paves the way towards further advances in the field and supports organisations seeking to make agile working work for them. Agile Working and Well-being in the Digital Age provides a valuable new resource for practitioners and scholars in the fields of occupational and organizational psychology, human resource management, organisational development, mental health and well-being. Christine Grant is Deputy Head of the School of Psychological, Social and Behavioural Sciences at Coventry University, UK. Dr Grant is a chartered and registered Occupational Psychologist and an applied researcher in the psychology of remote e-working. Her work explores the impact of technology on remote e-workers work-life balance, job effectiveness and well-being, with a particular interest in developing measures, interventions and coping strategies for employees, supervisors and organisations. Emma Russell is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Management at the University of Sussex, UK. Dr Russell is a chartered and registered Occupational Psychologist whose work straddles the domains of academia and professional practice. Her research focuses on personality differences in how people deal with new technology across a range of applied organisational settings, and how this impacts resources, well-being and work goals.
