Tecnologia e controllo nel lavoro da remoto

The normalization of ICT and digital technologies had an unprecedented acceleration during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in Italy, where remote working was used massively for the first time. This article investigates to what extent the rapid and extensive integration of digital technologies in the everyday work practices may have generated an increase in the level of control on employees and whether some of these trends may become structural in the long run. Using quali-quanti material collected in Italy in April 2020-June 2021, the study describes the experience of white-collar workers, with a focus on the role of digital technologies in the transformation of work.
