    On extending social informatics from a rich legacy of networks and conceptual resources (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 9-20 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - To extend the work of Rob Kling, whose research interests, and advocacy were at the center of a movement in analytical inquiry and empirical research now known as "social informatics". Design/methodology/approach - Reviews the work of those who engage in social informatics research to strengthen and further the conceptual perspective, analytical approaches, and intellectual contributions of social informatics. Findings - The vibrant and growing international community of active social informatics scholars has assembled a social informatics resource kit that includes: perspective lenses through which research data can be viewed critically; techniques for building theory and developing models from socially rich empirical data; and a common body of knowledge regarding the uses and effects of ICTs. Originality/value - The paper identifies opportunities to engage new scholars in social informatics discussions, and suggests new venues for promoting and extending the work of scholars already enrolled in the social informatics movement.

    Multiview as social informatics in action: past, present and future (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 26-32 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845

    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - This paper is intended to pay tribute to the inspiration provided by Rob Kling by showing how his ideas about social informatics in general and the use of web models in particular, have helped us to formulate and develop our own work in the field of information systems development methods. Design/methodology/approach - A conceptual discussion and approach are taken. Findings - Illustrates how Kling's advocacy of the need for a more holistic form of explanation of the behaviour of what he (and Walt Scacchi) termed "computer resources" gave shape to ideas emerging from others' action research studies at that time, and how his attempts to set the agenda for the emerging field of Social Informatics have informed subsequent developments in work in the area of methodological inquiry. Originality/value - Provides an evaluation of Kling's pioneering and inspirational work on information and communication technologies.

    Exploring sociotechnical interaction with Rob Kling: five "big" ideas (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 50-67 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - To provide a view of Rob Kling's contribution to socio-technical studies of work. Design/methodology/approach - The five "big ideas" discussed are signature themes in Kling's own work in the informatics domain, and of his intellectual legacy. Findings - This paper conveys something of Kling's presence in social informatics (SI) thinking by focusing on a number of "big" ideas - "multiple points of view", "social choices", "the production lattice" (and its corollary, the problematization of the user), "socio-technical interaction networks", and "institutional truth regimes". Research limitations/implications - A growing research community has demonstrated the power of SI techniques. It is essential that this body of work is sustained and developed, demonstrating how to undertake investigation and observation, that is not driven by instrumentalism but is informed by and leads to "technological realism". Practical implications - The SI corpus, exposing the dangers of naïve instrumentalism as an approach to information systems design and management, can guide practitioners on how to unpack the history of what is in view. This may be a specific technology, a social formation, or a sociotechnical circumstance. Practitioners may draw on the concepts presented, not as a prescriptive toolkit, but rather as a sensitizing frame to assist those who wish to re-vision the workplace. Originality/value - Central to the successful utilisation of computers in work, we argue, is the continuing development of a portfolio of interpretive concepts (such as STINs, regimes of truth, production lattices) that can consolidate Rob Kling's "big" ideas that are the core of this paper.

    Weblogs as a bridging genre (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 142-171 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - Aims to describe systematically the characteristics of weblogs (blogs) - frequently modified web pages in which dated entries are listed in reverse chronological sequence and which are the latest genre of internet communication to attain widespread popularity. Design/methodology/approach - This paper presents the results of a quantitative content analysis of 203 randomly selected blogs, comparing the empirically observable features of the corpus with popular claims about the nature of blogs, and finding them to differ in a number of respects. Findings - Notably, blog authors, journalists and scholars alike exaggerate the extent to which blogs are interlinked, interactive, and oriented towards external events, and underestimate the importance of blogs as individualistic, intimate forms of self-expression. Originality/value - Based on the profile generated by the empirical analysis, considers the likely antecedents of the blog genre, situates it with respect to the dominant forms of digital communication on the internet today, and suggests possible developments of the use of blogs over time in response to changes in user behavior, technology, and the broader ecology of internet genres.

    On the adaptation of Grounded Theory procedures: insights from the evolution of the 2G (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 196-211 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - To articulate the interpretations and adaptations of Grounded Theory made within the 2G method, and the motivations behind them. Design/methodology/approach - Literature review and conceptual approach reflecting on the authors' experience of having developed the 2G method. Findings - Identifies six adaptations of Grounded Theory as being of particular interest. Five relate to method procedures, namely: developing a core category; coding interview data; exposing evolving theories to stakeholders; developing multiple concept frameworks; and inter-linking concepts. The sixth relates to expectations on method users, and the tension between expertise relating to the phenomenon being analysed, and openness in interpreting the data. Research limitations/implications - Shows how Grounded Theory procedures have been adapted and used in IS methods. Specifically, the paper illustrates and makes explicit how a specific method (the 2G method) has evolved. Practical implications - Provides insights for users of Grounded Theory (GT) and developers of IS methods on how GT procedures have been interpreted and adapted in previous and the authors' own research. Originality/value - Provides insights into how Grounded Theory (GT) procedures have been adapted for use in other IS methods, with insights from the authors' own experience of having developed the 2G method. Reflects on the use of GT procedures in a number of case studies related to tool evaluation. Identifies six areas in which specific interpretations or adaptations of GT were considered necessary in the contexts in which the studies were undertaken, and justifies these six departures from standard interpretations of GT procedures.

    Early determinants of women in the IT workforce: a model of girls' career choices (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 230-259 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - To develop a testable model for girls' career choices in technology fields based on past research and hypotheses about the future of the information technology (IT) workforce. Design/methodology/approach - Review and assimilation of literature from education, psychology, sociology, computer science, IT, and business in a model that identifies factors that can potentially influence a girl's choice towards or against IT careers. The factors are categorized into social factors (family, peers, and media), structural factors (computer use, teacher/counselor influence, same sex versus coeducational schools), and individual differences. The impact of culture on these various factors is also explored. Findings - The model indicates that parents, particularly fathers, are the key influencers of girls' choice of IT careers. Teachers and counselors provide little or no career direction. Hypotheses propose that early access to computers may reduce intimidation with technology and that same-sex education may serve to reduce career bias against IT. Research limitations/implications - While the model is multidisciplinary, much of research from which it draws is five to eight years old. Patterns of career choices, availability of technology, increased independence of women and girls, offshore/nearshore outsourcings of IT jobs are just some of the factors that may be insufficiently addressed in this study. Practical implications - A "Recommendations" section provides some practical steps to increase the involvement of girls in IT-related careers and activities at an early age. The article identifies cultural research as a limitation and ways to address this. Originality/value - The paper is an assimilation of literature from diverse fields and provides a testable model for research on gender and IT.

    Improving software organizations: agility challenges and implications (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 18 (2005), S. 359-382 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Purpose - The paper seeks to explore the impact of events in Software Process Improvement (SPI) environments based on a longitudinal study of a requirements management initiative at Ericsson. Design/methodology/approach - The paper presents the initiative from three perspectives - the improvement initiative, the targeted software practices, and the environment. Findings - SPI initiatives easily get interrupted, are side-tracked, and progress slowly due to changing environments. While most practitioners are painfully aware of this, the SPI literature has so far only touched on the issue. Agility principles would have helped Ericsson respond more effectively to events that impacted the initiative. Development of agile SPI practices requires coordination and alignment with other initiatives to develop agile software organizations. Originality/value - SPI has been adopted by many organizations to help them to deliver quality software. However, its success is a matter of debate and this paper deals with the issues involved.

    ISSN: 0964-9425
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Sociologie , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Purpose - To investigate the career experiences of women professors in order to gain an in-depth understanding of factors contributing to their present status of profession. Design/methodology/approach - Data were generated from career history method on 31 women professors who have been identified as high-flyers. They were selected based on a criterion that they achieved professorship at the age of 48 years and below. Each respondent was interviewed on questions addressing topics across the entire life stages. Constant comparative analysis of data was conducted to generate themes. Findings - Reveals the factors associated with their fast performance in academia that were divided into two stages, i.e. career exploration, and career establishment and maintenance. Factors dictated at the career exploration stage are early exposure to learning, entrance to boarding schools, first degree experience and personal qualities, while factors that contribute during their establishment and maintenance stage are graduate study experience, career centrality, family support, uniqueness of academic role, health consciousness and sense of religiosity. Research limitations/implications - It involved women professors only in order to understand the complexities of women academicians and their careers. Practical implications - Provides evidence and information on the subjective interpretation of a career in academia, which should be taken into consideration in promotion and selection exercises, especially re women academicians. It also enhances women's understanding of their own careers and the interplay of other aspects of life as well as organizational environments in their careers. Originality/value - This paper offers practical information to inspired individuals, especially women academicians, in order to achieve professorship.

    Bradford : Emerald
    Women in management review 20 (2005), S. 177-190 
    Details
    ISSN: 0964-9425
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Sociologie , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Purpose - The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of gender on the job satisfaction of US academics. Design/methodology/approach - The population for this study consisted of full-time college and university teachers listed in the "Brain Track University Index Directories of the United States Colleges and Universities". A sampling technique was used to select the respondents surveyed for this study. A total of 1,100 questionnaires were administered to respondents chosen from 80 universities. A total of 560 usable questionnaires were returned, giving a response rate of 51 percent. Findings - The findings of this research show that there are gender differences apparent in the job satisfaction levels of university teachers surveyed for this study. Female faculty were more satisfied with their work and co-workers, whereas, their male colleagues were more satisfied with their pay, promotions, supervision, and overall job satisfaction. Results also indicated that ranks were significant in explaining gender differences and job satisfaction of the respondents. Research limitations/implications - This research is delimited to 4 year colleges and universities. Thus, the results of this study cannot be generalized to 2 year and community colleges. Practical implications - Findings of the study provides institutional leaders, university and college administrators, and human resources professionals with key information that would enable them to recruit, reward, promote, and retain women faculty. The finding would also enable the government address the issues concerning female academics. Originality/value - This paper offers practical recommendations to higher education administrators and human resources professionals on how to enhance job satisfaction of female faculty. It also offers suggestions to how to maintain more balanced gender equity in higher education.

    The Czech women in the labour market: a European comparison (2005)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Women in management review 20 (2005), S. 312-328 
    Details
    ISSN: 0964-9425
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Sociologie , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Purpose - The aim of the paper is to analyse the position of the Czech women in the labour market in a comparison to the EU-15 countries. The paper critically reviews three domains of female labour market participation: general characteristics of the female employment, work-life balance indicators, and disadvantages of the female labour force related to motherhood. Design/methodology/approach - The data draw on harmonized data from international/supranational institutions (EUROSTAT, OECD, ILO) in order to compile comparative statistics on gender and labour market characteristics. A cluster analysis is performed in order to group countries with similar gender and labour market characteristics together. Findings - The results identify three clusters with respect to the position of women in the labour market: southern model, Scandinavian model, and mixed model. The southern model includes Spain, Italy and Greece. These countries are characterised by women's low participation in the labour market, shorter working careers and a low incidence of part-time working. The Scandinavian model (Denmark, Sweden, Finland) represents countries, which have high levels of female labour market participation, and a work culture that fosters high numbers of part-time and flexible work systems. The mixed model (UK, France, Germany) falls in between these two extremes and includes the Czechoslovakia. The mixed model has relatively high female employment rates both full- and part-time but tends to have less support structures for combining work-life balance. Originality/value - The data provide an insight into the gendered labour market systems in the Czech Republic and highlight how state and private employer organisations can develop gender sensitive policies to assist women's career and professional development. It is suggested that the Czech Republic needs to develop policies that will foster part-time and flexible working arrangements.
