As a result, service workers are increasingly occupying \u2018non-standard\u2019 or precarious roles, performing piecework through technology-enabled platforms, and in industries including retail, being rapidly rendered obsolete. Customers, on the other hand, are increasing their share of service co-production (as in the case of banking or online shopping) thus enabling a diminished role for employees in service transactions. These changes highlight the need for a comprehensive and meaningful scholarly-conversation on <em>the changing role of service workers<\/em>, in order to (a) design theoretical models that capture the changing content and context of service work and predict future opportunities and challenges, (b) conduct rigorous research to test and modify existing theories related to service workers, and (c) positively impact service worker wellbeing and performance.<\/p>\n<p>This special issue of the <em>Journal of Service Research<\/em> invites scholars across business and social science disciplines to submit their most rigorous and relevant work related to changes in service work.
