The research focuses on employees who represent established professions such as healthcare workers, teachers, police officers and others, and how their autonomy, influence and commitment are affected by digitalization in general, as well as how they are affected by digital management, control and organizing practices.

When the pandemic hit teachers were expected to completely transition to digital teaching with virtually no time for preparation.
