Changes in the nature of work are commonly invoked when describing the importance of all manner of talent management processes, ranging from recruitment to selection and performance management.  However, evidence of changes has been primarily anecdotal or retrospective. This presentation includes findings from two large-scale studies that provide an empirical analysis of changes in over twenty work characteristics and worker attitudes since the 1950's. These evidence-based changes are then used as a springboard to discuss implications for industrial-organizational psychologists operating in the modern world of work.

Brian J. Hoffman received his Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee in 2006 and is the Chair of the Industrial-Organizational Psychology Program at the University of Georgia. Dr. Hoffman currently serves as an Associate Editor of the Journal of Management and has served on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Business and Psychology, Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and the Journal of Personnel Psychology. Dr. Hoffman has published over 50 articles, chapters, and books on a range of topics, including the changing nature of work and workers, the assessment and prediction of effective leadership, and the application of management principles to sports settings. His research has been covered by CBS Sports Network, ESPN's Sports Center, National Public Radio, Cracked.com, and the Washington Post.
