Yet, in some cases, employers may view a history of frequent job changes unfavorably, according to research by Matissa Hollister, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour. “We really wanted to look at whether or not that advice might actually backfire,” Hollister says.

Men and women respond to work incentives in very different ways

admin — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 14:16:51 +0000

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office reviews hundreds of thousands of applications each year, making efficiency a challenge. When managers introduced cash incentives for meeting quotas, men and women reacted differently. Men tended to increase their output to secure the bonus, but the quality of their reviews declined. Women, by contrast, often prioritized maintaining high-quality work, even if it meant missing out on the financial reward.

While it should improve the purchasing power of those who need it most, it won’t lower grocery prices. “To lower the grocery bills, we need to improve our food supply chains in Canada,” says Yu Ma, a Professor of Marketing at ��VR��Ƶ Desautels.

AI is changing the workplace, but it usually doesn’t replace entire jobs. Before laying people off because of ‘AI efficiencies’, employers need a solid plan. “We may or may not overestimate how much AI will affect the world of work, but we’ve figured out that it does not destroys jobs, it destroys tasks,” says Lisa Cohen, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at ��VR��Ƶ Desautels.

But, as is often the case with Trump’s more extreme threats, his staff quickly walked it back.

admin — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:59:57 +0000

Artificial intelligence is expected to reshape the labour market, but its impact won’t be felt evenly across all types of jobs. In Quebec, roughly 59 per cent of jobs are considered highly exposed to AI—meaning the technology is likely to change how people work rather than eliminate roles outright.
