Abstract

Background. The introductory article of the thematic issue examines main prospects for changes in the world of professions, as well as the main trends in a working person’s development. 

Objective. It is shown that the specificity of modern work is associated with the deployment of innovation processes, and the emergence of new “employee-organization” relationship. 

Results. The “employee-organization” convergence of interests leads to the increase in work autonomy, and determines changes in “psychological contracts” — the role of responsibility and mutual support is enhancing. The article identifies the key factors that increase the importance of self-regulation processes, contributing to work performance and professional success in dynamic organizational environment. Rapid digitalization processes are indicated as one of the main trends in modern work, providing apparent advantage during the forced transition of various work spheres into the information space. Developed self-regulation leads to successful adaptation under tensed work conditions. 

Conclusion. It is emphasized that new challenges are bound to bring adjustments to the goals and methods of work psychology, though without changing its role and purpose, which consists in studying the processes of development and functioning of a modern person in a professional environment. Finally, the results of studies, presented in the thematic issue, are summarized as four clusters of acute research issues in work domain.
