    Chapter and
research question
2. Moving between places
How are workplaces enacted in nomadic work?
Key findings
Affordances of nomadic work: malleability, privacy, and instant sociality
Comparison of typical work locations in nomadic work based on affordances
Place is in the foreground of organizing in location- independent work
Dimensions of workplace configurations: shared centrality, locational transparency and negotiated legitimacy
Differentiation between three relationship layers based on source of connection and intensity of involvement
Configurations need agreed-upon centers to facilitate work relationships; employees cope with change through “reconfiguring”
Positive effect of workplace transparency on idea sharing but dampened by workplace flexibility
Employees with high workplace transparency shared more ideas when workplace flexibility was low, and the relationship was stronger for those with low workplace flexibility
      3. Reconfiguring where work takes place
How do workplace configurations shape work relationships, and how do employees cope with changes to their workplace configurations?
4. Ideas in place
What is the impact of perceived workplace transparency on employees’ idea sharing and idea implementation? And to what degree does workplace flexibility influence this relationship?
