    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: The development of information technologies has led to the restructuringof the boundaries within and between organizations in a number of areasof social life. Examines the impact of a specific form of informationtechnology being introduced in the field of punishment and control– the electronic monitoring of sentenced offenders. Electronicsurveillance and home imprisonment are features of the currentrestructuring of the boundaries between prison, work and family life. Itis both the physical and the cultural boundaries between "home" and"prison" that are being readjusted. Over the past 200 years these twospheres of social life have been constructed around incompatible sets ofvalues. However the complex contradictions involved in making theboundaries between these two spheres more permeable have not been fullyexplored in current penal discourses.

    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: Theoretical constructs serve important roles in facilitating informationand knowledge flows among, between and within information systemsresearchers and practitioners. In order for the benefits of constructsto be fully exploited, they must be appropriately applied andoperationalized. Describes a controlled field study, examining users'satisfaction with a decision support system, undertaken to point out thedangers of misapplying constructs and their measurement scales.Particular consideration is given to the risks associated with the useof general instruments in situations where more narrowly focused andcontext-specific instruments are preferred.

    The "Modernisation" of the Australian Taxation Office:: Issues in Participatory Design in Large Organizations (1994)
    Bradford : Emerald

    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845

    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: The difficulties in designing and implementing successful technologicalsystems which support business objectives, good work practices and highquality outcomes are well known. Discusses the "modernisation" of theAustralian Taxation Office - an ambitious ten-year programme oforganizational and tech-nological change - which has its origins in theneed for re-equipment and the recognition that the new systems mustsupport the way in which the Taxation Office would work in the future.Review of the programme mid-term shows considerable success, but alsoareas where it has been difficult to achieve some of the aims. In spiteof the participatory framework, participants tend to feel thattechnology has driven the process, rather than business or workplacerequirements. In particular, some initiatives have impacted negativelyon workers, and it has been difficult to integrate the implementation ofnew systems with the design of better work practices. Recognition ofthese problems has encouraged the development of new approaches to workand systems design, and considerable further organizational andstructural change.

    Human Identification in Information Systems: Management Challenges and Public Policy Issues (1994)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 7 (1994), S. 6-37 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: Many information systems involve data about people. In order reliably toassociate data with particular individuals, it is necessary that aneffective and efficient identification scheme be established andmaintained. There is remarkably little in the information technologyliterature concerning human identification. Seeks to overcome thatdeficiency by undertaking a survey of human identity and humanidentification. Discusses techniques including names, codes,knowledge-based and token-based identification, and biometrics.Identifies the key challenge to management as being to devise a schemewhich is practicable and economic, and of sufficiently high integrity toaddress the risks the organization confronts in its dealings withpeople. Proposes that much greater use be made of schemes which aredesigned to afford people anonymity, or which enable them to usemultiple identities or pseudonyms, while at the same time protecting theorganization's own interest. Describes multi-purpose and inhabitantregistration schemes, and notes the recurrence of proposals to implementand extend them. Identifies public policy issues. Of especial concern isthe threat to personal privacy that the general-purpose use of aninhabitant registrant scheme represents. Speculates that, where suchschemes are pursued energetically, the reaction may be strong enough tothreaten the social fabric.

    Social Choice about Privacy: Intelligent Vehicle-highway Systems in the United States (1994)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 7 (1994), S. 63-90 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: Broad coalitions of companies, governments, and research institutions inseveral countries are currently designing massive electronicinfrastructures for their roadways. Known collectively as intelligentvehicle-highway systems (IVHS), these technologies are intended to easetoll collection and commercial vehicle regulation, provide drivers withroute and traffic information, improve safety and ultimately supportfully automated vehicles. Although many aspects of IVHS are uncertain,some proposed designs require the system to collect vast amounts of dataon individuals' travel patterns, thus raising the potential for severeinvasions of privacy. To make social choices about IVHS, it is necessaryto reason about potentials for authoritarian uses of an IVHSinfrastructure in the hypothetical future. Yet such reasoning isdifficult, often veering towards Utopian or dystopian extremes. To helpanchor the privacy debate, places IVHS privacy concerns in aninstitutional context, offering conceptual frameworks to discuss thepotential interactions between IVHS technologies and the computer designprofession, standards-setting bodies, marketing organizations, the legalsystem and government administrative agencies.

    Notes: Examines the power-related properties of professional and organizationalsystems and considers their influence on reactions to sexual harassment.It is argued that, when the socio-cultural power model of male dominanceoperates within pluralistic/political professional and organizationalsystems, these systems can become breeding-grounds for sexual harassmentbehaviours that are tolerated rather than told on. A contrast betweencareers within systems and less systems bound jobs illustrates theinfluence of context on decisions to tell or tolerate.

    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: Sets out to look at the career experiences of women in personnel. Asurvey was undertaken of 149 women studying for examinations leading tomembership of the Institute of Personnel Management. The results showthat the issues facing women in personnel were the same as those facingother women in organizations. Women in personnel face a glass ceilingaround Personnel Officer level. In addition, however, these womenidentified that the personnel role often lacked status in organizationsand that the qualities they possessed, which had attracted them into thepersonnel profession, were not particularly valued in organizations.However, with the take-up of human resource policies and the emphasis on"people skills" women in personnel could be in a key position tocapitalize on the changing needs of organizations and play an importantrole in the process. In order to ensure that women in personnel haveequality of opportunity, there is a need for positive action from thetop of organizations, from the Institute of Personnel Management andfrom women in personnel themselves.

    Notes: Reports the findings of a combined survey of 42 mixed retailers, using apostal questionnaire and personal interviews solicited from 16companies. Researchers sought information regarding the numbers of womenholding senior management positions in the responding retailers and theapproach and attitude of retail companies to the advancement of women.Results reveal no shortage of goodwill towards the provision of equalopportunities for women, with many responding companies activelypursuing policies aimed at improving the gender balance of theirworkforce. Six senior women interviewees confirmed that workingconditions in retail were a factor in the statistics, but they suggestedthat negative attitudes from staff and customers also play a part. Theisolation of lone senior women was confirmed by personal interviews, andin-company mentors were identified as a possible help in that regard.The problem of balancing a family and career remains while storemanagers are believed to be omnipresent.

    Notes: Very little Australian literature looks at women as leaders ineducation. Using theoretical viewpoints emerging out of a biographicaland historical analysis, it is possible to construct a more inclusivemodel of leadership which includes both men and women in the past.Mapping such a process historically and biographically can give adetailed assessment of the social, historical and political dimensionsof particular women leaders' lives and also develop a theoreticalframework, which gives equal status to the leadership experiences morecommon to women. Presents a historical narrative where recording livesraises critical questions at the same time as it unearths new evidenceof the history of women educationists in Australia.
