46th International Conference on Organizational Science Development
THE FUTURE OF WORK AND CONTEMPORARY ORGANIZATIONAL CHALLENGES
The modern working environment is changing faster than ever before. Technological developments, particularly in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, demographic shifts, the interplay of hybrid forms of work, and the need for sustainable and socially responsible operations present organizations with ever-new challenges. Employees’ changing expectations call for a holistic understanding of the future of work. In every organization, proactively monitoring the external environment and responding promptly to contemporary organizational challenges are necessities and integral parts of everyday practice.
With a tradition spanning more than four decades, this international scientific conference has successfully brought together academic and professional communities, researchers, students, and representatives from business, the public sector and beyond. This year’s conference continues to serve as a central forum for exchanging perspectives and best practices, as well as for scientific and professional discussions in organizational sciences.
Through this year’s conference theme, ‘The Future of Work and Contemporary Organizational Challenges’, we seek once again to encourage collaboration between academia and business. The 46th International Scientific Conference will focus, among other things, on generating new knowledge that will make a significant contribution to both research and practice. Particular emphasis will be placed on workplace transformation and the introduction of modern working models; digitalisation, artificial intelligence, digital transformation and the integration of advanced technologies; sustainable leadership and human resource development in a dynamic environment; and risk management and organizational resilience, alongside other relevant areas.
As we explore how change and challenges can create a more successful, efficient and people-centred future for our organizations, we warmly invite you to join us with your contributions and help shape the future development of organizational sciences.
We look forward to welcoming you to Portorož from 17 to 19 March 2027!

Full Prof. Polona Šprajc, Ph.D
