Loneliness in Organizations: Why It’s Skyrocketing and What We Can Do About It

In this symposium, we will examine questions such as “What is loneliness?”, “Why has loneliness increased so rapidly, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-21?”, “What is the link between technology and loneliness?”, “What are the intrapersonal, dyadic, group and organizational outcomes associated with loneliness in the workplace?” and “How can leaders manage their own loneliness and the loneliness of their followers as they lead their organizations thorough digital transformation?” Please join us for a fascinating exploration of why and how loneliness is skyrocketing as organizations reinvent themselves vis-à-vis their own and society’s digital transformation.
