The pandemic and hybrid working have changed the very idea of the office. This is not only changing the design and purpose of offices, but the look of cities too
Abstract
Due to the distance limitation between the drilling department in Iran and the head office in China, it is necessary to improve the management level of the south Azadagan drilling department ...in the south of Iran. According to the drilling operation characteristics of Iran south Azadagan department, we design and develop an Intelligent Planning & Integrated Office Management System (IPIOMS) including design management, work report, planning and cost control, operation management, statistical query and logistics support.

Purpose: this paper’s purpose is to explore competencies that should be acquired by graduates according to industries that they will work for. This study also proposes a model for competencies for ...office management aspect in industries and the categorization of these competencies and activities based on not only the education background but also the management level in an organization.
Theoretical framework: The literature used in this study consists of many sources. However, we emphasize on the work description that is required in office management (Hollis-Turner; 2015 and Maynard; 1967).
Design/methodology/approach: We gathered several cross-sectional articles on office competencies, and we also collected primary data through interviews with three experienced professionals in offices. We use critical systems heuristics to structure the answers, as well as construct the model of office competencies.
Findings: The results of this research are two folds. First, the exploration of office management field competencies has several discrepancies between industrial perspectives and what are taught at the university or school, including soft skill competencies that should be given when graduates were still in school or university. Second result is the model is constructed that has significant contribution for the academic and industrial aspects.
Research, Practical & Social implications: We would suggest that academic world would learn and adapt from the model constructed to avoid future misconception on office competencies. In the future, more office research will enrich the resources to determine the curriculum especially in office management.
Originality/value: The result of this study emphasizes that while office can be changed into virtual offices, the competencies to run an office are still needed. Hence, this study shows the perspective from industries in Indonesia that can be used for curriculum redesign in universities and schools.
Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da análise de 844 anúncios de emprego para a área de Secretariado, publicados, em Portugal, no Jornal Expresso (formato papel), entre 1978 e 2018 e tem como ...objetivo geral identificar o perfil de profissional desta área procurado pelos empregadores durante estas quatro décadas. Sabendo que o profissional de Secretariado tem, atualmente, responsabilidades e características bastante diferentes das que lhe eram próprias no passado, este trabalho tem como objetivos específicos identificar alterações nos requisitos (idade, género, formação e experiência) presentes nos anúncios em análise e rastrear o espectro de competências – técnicas e transversais – mais relevantes para os empregadores. Os resultados confirmam mudanças significativas, nomeadamente no que concerne às profissões procuradas, ao género dos profissionais, ao domínio de ferramentas e técnicas de apoio à função, com o aparecimento e progressiva solicitação das ferramentas informáticas, bem como no que respeita às competências transversais mais valorizadas.

We argue that female representation in top management brings informational and social diversity benefits to the top management team, enriches the behaviors exhibited by managers throughout the firm, ...and motivates women in middle management. The result should be improved managerial task performance and thus better firm performance. We test our theory using 15 years of panel data on the top management teams of the S&P 1,500 firms. We find that female representation in top management improves firm performance but only to the extent that a firm's strategy is focused on innovation, in which context the informational and social benefits of gender diversity and the behaviors associated with women in management are likely to be especially important for managerial task performance.

Over the past 100 years, the office has been integral to the development of modern society. It has shaped the architecture of our cities, the behaviour of our organizations, and the everyday ...movements of millions of people. In 2020, however, the global pandemic brought our attendance in the office to an abrupt halt and triggered a complete reevaluation of the purpose of the workplace. This book offers a panoramic view of the office and explores what happens next. The authors advance a manifesto for 'unworking' - unlearning old habits and rituals established for an outdated office and crafting and creating new ones fit for an age of digital technology, design innovation, and diverse workforces.

Workplace technologies are more central to working in organisations than ever before. These technologies began as instrumental aids to support office work of individuals but have since also become ...the basis for social interactions and community building in organisations and more recently become able to perform managerial roles with the use of advanced AI capabilities. Our call for papers to this special issue invited original studies to go further and advance our thinking on the strategic implications of this layered evolution of workplace technologies on work and the structure of organisations. In this introduction, we synthesise the main themes from the special issue, and also ongoing dialogues with the growing community at the regular AIS / IFIP 9.1 workshop on the Changing Nature of Work. A key observation is that the work involved in configuring emergent Digital/Human configurations, is vastly under-reported and poorly understood. Paradoxically, this configuring work is the most demanding and critical in the shaping of modern organisations. We suggest that this type of largely invisible work requires engagement beyond the level of execution or even the meaning of work, it requires intervening with third order effects that get to the core of what an organisation is. We highlight the challenges for organisations in dealing with third order change, particularly because these effects are beyond existing frames of reference and require more dynamic and supple responses based on the values, purpose andintent dominantin the organisation – we describe this as structural digital work. Leaders that are unable or unwilling to engage with effects at this level, and this type of work, will miss identifying core opportunities and risks associated with digital transformation in organisations. We also reflect on the value of current theories and methods used to research this important and emergent phenomenon.
