    The dark side of 21st century flexible work
    (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2024-06-07) Tham, Tse Leng; Holland, Peter; Jeske, Debora; Holland , Peter; Brewster, Chris; Kougiannou , Nadia K.
    Given the erosion of the once-clear demarcation between work and home in remote and flexible working arrangements, and the increasing proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) being applied to data collected via electronic monitoring and surveillance in key HR activities, the rise of flexible and remote work does not come without challenges and consequences related to privacy, discrimination, ethics, and trust in the employment relationship. As such, HR and management are increasingly at the forefront of managing these new ways of working. This includes having to carefully balance the benefits and costs of how to manage and support flexible and remote work. These issues and their far-reaching consequences need to be more fully understood by HR professionals to ensure that the implementation of new patterns of work do not cause more harm than problems they propose to resolve, particularly now that rather than being the exception, remote and flexible work is fast becoming our new normal.

    Computer-supported cooperative work
    (Springer, 2023-05) Ciolfi, Luigina; Lewkowicz, Myriam; Schmidt, Kjeld; Vanderdonckt, Jean; Palanque, Philippe; Winckler, Marco
    Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) is an interdisciplinary research area concerned with developing computing technologies that facilitate, mediate, or regulate interaction between people engaged in cooperative work or similar kinds of sustained social activities. CSCW is a heterogeneous enterprise, addressing a motley of computational technologies and assimilating contributions from a host of scientific disciplines. What unites CSCW research is a shared concern with the fundamental problem of incorporating models of coordinative practices in computational artifacts and to do so in such a way that actors are able to deal with contingencies and are supported in that by the functionalities of the computational artifacts. Reflecting this shared concern, CSCW research is also united in a symmetrical commitment to ground design efforts in studies of actual work practices and to orient studies of actual work practices towards informing the development of collaborative technologies. As a field, CSCW focuses on a variety of domains where complex cooperative practices occur. Due to the heterogeneity of the field and of such domains, a range of approaches and frameworks are applied to CSCW research. A notably established approach that has shaped a substantial part of CSCW scholarship and had influence beyond the discipline is in-depth ethnographic studies of actual practices in their naturally occurring settings. In this regard, CSCW has been influential in championing a hybrid approach to the study of computing systems encompassing concerns for understanding and for designing.

    Using technology platforms for work-integrated learning
    (Routledge - Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-09-30) Bayerlein, Leopold; Dean, Bonnie A.; Perkiss, Stephanie; Jeske, Debora; Ferns, Sonia J.; Rowe, Anna D.; Zegwaard, Karsten E.
    This chapter establishes technology-based WIL as a potential solution to meet the growing demand for sustainable and accessible WIL in education. E-internships, digital service learning and simulated work placements are introduced as examples of technology-based activities that enable WIL, and their respective benefits and limitations are discussed. The chapter finds that student learning outcomes created in technology-based WIL can be similar to those of traditional placement WIL. However, the attainment of some learning outcomes is highly context specific, and additional student, educator and placement provider support activities may be required to maximise the benefits of technology-based WIL for all stakeholders. Based on these findings, the chapter provides guidance for stakeholders interested in developing or adopting technology-based WIL activities and outlines future areas of research.
