Will the new ways we work have positive or negative effects on well-being? How will hybrid work arrangements, flexible schedules, and increased telework impact job satisfaction and life satisfaction? Many factors related to employee productivity, creativity, and collaboration are being assessed as organizations consider how less time spent at a workplace impacts work culture and organizational success. This editorial argues that the internal-external locus of control construct could offer useful insights into the differential affects that new work arrangements may have on worker satisfaction. For many, greater autonomy will be felt as consistent with their beliefs and preferences for greater control in how they perform their work. Others may feel more stressed by the loss of structure and direction provided in a traditional workplace setting. Principles of motivation are discussed alongside the potentialities and hazards attendant to changes in the longstanding social contract between employers and employees.
我们新的工作方式会对幸福感产生积极还是消极的影响？混合工作安排、灵活的工作时间表以及远程工作的增加将如何影响工作满意度和生活满意度？随着组织思考在工作场所花费更少的时间如何影响工作文化和组织成功，许多与员工生产力、创造力和协作相关的因素正在得到评估。这篇社论认为，内控点-外控点结构可以为新的工作安排可能对员工满意度产生的不同影响提供有用的见解。对许多人来说，更大的自主权会让他们觉得符合自己对工作方式有更大掌控权的信念和偏好。而另一些人可能会因传统工作场所所提供的结构和方向的缺失而感到压力更大。在讨论动机原则的同时，也探讨了雇主与员工之间长期社会契约变化所带来的可能性和风险。
