At present, there are two dominant theories in the gender literature that are used to explain the participation of women in the IT profession. The essentialist perspective dichotomizes gender based upon the presumption of significant inherent differences between women and men. This view finds the causes of gender under representation in biology. The social construction perspective focuses on the social construction of IT as a male domain, which is interpreted as incompatible with the social construction of female identity. This view finds the causes of gender under representation in the IT sector. The research discussed in this paper is directed at the development of a new theory that focuses on individual differences among women as they relate to the needs and characteristics of IT work and the IT workplace. This view finds the causes of gender under representation in the socio-cultural environment that shapes each woman's gender identity and her professional development, and her individual responses to these influences.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"94 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114602474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent attention to \"hybrid\" research that links organizational theory with MIS research has been proposed to lend new insights into strategic alignment of IT (Orlikowski & Barley, 2000; Zmud, 2002). One gap still to be addressed relates to role expectations and skills required by the IT professional according to different organizational theories. Much of the literature on strategic alignment of IT emphasizes the value provided by the IT artifact or focuses on communication between IT and business management, rather than on the role of IT professionals inferred by critical survival activities outlined in different organizational theories.Motivated by organizational concerns related to the clarity and articulation of the role of Information Technology professionals in contributing to strategic alignment, our study reviews literature about the role of the information technology professional and the differences according to three organizational theories: Agency theory, Transaction Cost theory and Institutional theory. We then use bibliometrics and content analysis to analyze published research for implicit or explicit skill expectations and contributions to organizational survival and strategic alignment of IT. The goal of our study is to contribute to a better understanding of role conflict, skill expectations, and value of information technology professionals in organizations, and also contribute to a consolidation between information systems research and organizational studies.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126699961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A description of knowledge management initiatives in the telecommunications corporation Ericsson exemplifies the implementation of an explicit knowledge networking strategy where different 'communities of knowing' are the point of effort concerning utilization of the knowledge potential in the entire organization. The analysis indicates that an inter-organizational context for the communities and cross-communities communication increase the complexity and difficulties for knowledge transfer and sharing mechanisms and collaboration.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132963926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An expanded version of that model used in this study includes eleven employment arrangement characteristics (e.g., job/income security). Consistent with the definition of fit based on needs and supplies (Kristof, 1996), fit is the degree to which the actual amount of a characteristic supplied by the employer is congruent with the IT professional's preferences (or needs). The major issue examined in this study is whether the relationship between fit and various outcome variables is moderated by the importance of the characteristics on which fit is assessed, as hypothesized by Kristof. Data have been collected from over 500 IT professionals. This research-in-progress will present the results of analyzing the data to examine the moderating effects of importance. Implications for theory, measurement, and analysis will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113965315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of overall use, veterans are found to use the internet significantly less than members of the educational-elite reference group. This is cause for concern. Somewhat reassuringly, veterans are found to use the internet significantly more than members of the non-elite reference group.Effective and efficient use of the internet can potentially be enormously helpful to veterans in their transition out of armed forces life; and can help them adjust to, and get ahead in, civilian life and careers. This research suggests that agencies that look after veterans' interests, and provide counseling and training services to them, may find it rewarding to focus some of their attention towards increasing veterans' use of the internet. Thus this research has implications for issues related to career preparation and development support for veterans.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121799658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increased diversity of skills, knowledge, cultures, and perspectives of these project teams can potentially have both positive and negative influences on group processes and outcomes. The question that this research-in-progress intends to address is: To what extent can and do project management methods and tools benefit diverse virtual teams while mitigating its challenges? In order to begin to answer this question, this paper presents relevant background, a research model, a methodology (currently in progress), and potential contributions. The initial methodology involves a study of IT project teams working on a common database design project whose members are using electronic tools to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate. The results of the study should provide useful information to practitioners and researchers regarding project management and virtual teams.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121213790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organisations spend heavily on training, but do not take an integrative approach in formulating training strategies. This is mainly due to lack of guidance from the literature. A few frameworks that have been proposed have not been evaluated. In this paper, we use one such framework and use it to evaluate the training strategy in an organisation. This summative evaluation is followed by the formative evaluation of the framework itself. Based on our findings, we conclude that the framework is useful to evaluate organisational training efforts. However, we also point out deficiencies in the framework itself and suggest areas of improvement.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127714365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research identifies two gaps in this field: a lack of understanding of the underlying cognitive mechanisms that intervene with the information systems development (ISD) process, and a lack of understanding of knowledge structures between user participants and system developers that may shape the effectiveness of team processes. To fill up the two gaps, I propose a knowledge perspective of user participation and identify two types of knowledge interactions between user participants and system developers, knowledge acquisition and knowledge exploitation, as main team processes that mediate the relationship between user participation and team performance. In addition, I assimilate recent advances in the filed of collective cognition. Major implications of this study are that user participation may not be effective if participants cannot contribute knowledge to the ISD process, or their knowledge cannot be successfully acquired and utilized by the ISD project team; and team cognition, specified here as transactive memory systems and shared mental models, will shape the effects of knowledge interactions between users and system developers, thereby indirectly influencing the performance of the ISD project team. A theoretical model is also provided.","PeriodicalId":243391,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '04","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122531979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
