Algorithmic management and its individual, organisational and societal impacts (2025)

Noponen, N. (2025). 

The use of advancing technology in managerial tasks is transforming work and organising. This qualitative article-based dissertation contributes to the literature on organisational studies by examining the impact of algorithmic management (AM) systems on individual, organisational and societal levels. The dissertation’s four articles reveal AM as a phenomenon that blurs the boundaries between these levels as well as those between the research disciplines examining it. Furthermore, the dissertation contributes by examining AM from six perspectives: 1) as a tool
that coordinates and controls labour, 2) as a tool that automates and augments managerial tasks, 3) as a facilitator of novel forms of organising, 4) as a force that deepens the gulf between work that can and cannot be commodified, 5) as an alternative to fuller automation, and 6) as a facilitator of societal shifts in employment relations.
