Job quality is at the core of contemporary debates about the future of work. The

dimensions of ‘good’ or ‘decent’ work are however fiercely contested. Are good jobs

consistent with the absence of employee vo ice mechanisms? In what ways can workers

influence the quality and experience of their jobs? Is it meaningful for policy makers

to focus on job quality as a core objective in the context of continuing austerity and

budget constraints? What lessons can be drawn from comparative studies of

employment change and the implications of different regulatory regimes? Will the

wider application of new technologies – robots, AI and digitisation – enhance or

degrade the quality of working lives? The IRJ invites research papers that address

these and related questions concerning the changing world of work.
