L’autonomia distorta e fraintesa

Autonomy at work has been defined in many ways, but not all conceptualizations have the same coherence and heuristic efficacy . This book follows the literature that interprets autonomy, according to its etymological meaning, as the ability to produce one’s own rules and, therefore, to govern one’s own processes of action. In relation to autonomy, the recent rise of freelancers and independent workers, the diffusion of coworking, the organizational choices of work in the gig economy, the use of advanced technologies, and proactivity at work are explored and discussed.
