Job quality is at the core of contemp orary debates about th e future of work. The

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

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

influence the quality and ex perience of their jobs? Is it meaningful for p olicy makers

to focus on job quality as a core objec tive in the context of contin uing austerity and

budget constraints? What lessons can be dr awn from comparative studies of

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

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

degrade the quality of work ing lives? The IRJ invites resear ch papers that address

these and related questions c oncerning the changing world of work .
