In the spirit of critically exploring the processes and practices by which new ideal workers norms emerge, we invite the following types of contributions: • Individual-level analyses, including o The meanings of and implications for work and employment in a post-covid fluid / flexible / hybrid working context (e.g. attitude-to-work and centrality of work) o Flexible and/or hybrid working patterns and practices and their implications for work-life balance and mental and physical wellbeing o Subjectification processes that lead to the development of individual sets of norms shaping working hours, work intensity, outputs, etc. • Group-level analyses, including o The implications of fluid / flexible / hybrid forms of working for social dynamics and identity at and identification with work o Collective shaping processes of the new ideal worker o Critical discussions of autonomy and/or control and in fluid / flexible / hybrid working • Organization-level analyses, including o Spatial and/or temporal perspectives on fluid / flexible / hybrid working practices, including office design and the development of institutional co-working spaces
