This book provides a unique contribution to the controversial discussion that surrounds the digitalisation and virtualisation of work. With a focus on the new formation of space and place, it critically discusses the idea that places in the context of work are increasingly losing their importance, and becoming more arbitrary with new technical possibilities. Theoretical considerations that deal conceptually with the understanding of space and work are taken into account, as well as empirical results from different professional and work fields across various regions of our globalised world. The book is applicable to researchers and students of sociology of work, media and communications, organization studies, workplace studies, labour process studies, economics, human geography, anthropology and learning sciences.Chapter 1, 4 and 11 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Aktuelle Arbeitsprozesse werden durch einen Wandel der Kooperationsformen bestimmt. Netzwerkförmig restrukturierte innerbetriebliche Hierarchieebenen sowie projektbasierte und auf Transparenz und Kooperativität beruhende Arbeits- und Organisationsstrukturen zwischen unterschiedlichen Unternehmen dominieren zunehmend weite Bereiche der Arbeitswelt. Eine zentrale Bedeutung erlangt hierbei das in Kooperationen zirkulierende Vertrauen. Zwar gibt es bereits Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung von Vertrauen in der Arbeitswelt, eine tiefer gehende Klärung des Wechselverhältnisses von Vertrauen und Kooperation wurde bislang jedoch noch nicht hinreichend geleistet. Der Band greift dieses Desiderat auf, indem er die interdisziplinäre Grundlagenforschung zur Vertrauensthematik für die Arbeits- und Organisationssoziologie fruchtbar macht.
