Risk Management in the OHS field is a data-driven process. However, geospatial data has not been fully considered and few works have used visualization for decision-making purposes. Our research was conducted using a design science research methodology. It is a methodology for creating and evaluating IT artifacts to solve identified organizational problems. We used Wang's safety intelligence framework and the recommendations of the ISO 45001 model from extant literature to inform the Design. While creating our artifact, we chose to make an inventory of occupational risk prevention practices in Algeria. A qualitative study using interviews with experts in the field consolidated the requirements for such a system. The key findings from the analysis of collected data state that the development of safety data-driven decision-making requires top management support and involvement, which is in line with previous studies. A second concern is the availability of spatial data. The designed artifact is an approach called spatial data integration and visualization approach for occupational health and safety management systems (SDIVA-OHSMS). SDIVA-OHSMS provides a practical approach for organizations in charge of OHS services to implement OHS data-driven decision-making solutions highlighting spatial and semantic dimensions. The evaluation was performed through a representative case study within the Algerian electricity and gas company (Sonelgaz), employing expert opinion and software implementation. As a result, experts concluded that such systems could provide a more comprehensive and accurate view of occupational health issues and guide further prevention policies.</p>","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":"89 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50119302","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 was a mixed methods study. Data were collected at baseline and end-line (before and after the implementation of the HIS) study using quantitative Data Quality Assessment (DQA) checklists and individual interviews. At the baseline, the DQA checklists were assessed using files registered from 2017 to May 2019. At the end-line, the DQA checklists used data for a patient registered at the established HIS from June 2019 to December 2020. Interviews with clinical and non-clinical staff were conducted at both baseline and end-line studies. The study found that data quality improved after the implementation of the HIS. At baseline, data completeness declined from 85% in 2017 to 44.9% in 2019 while accuracy declined from 44% in 2017 to 31% in 2019.

Consequently, a new paradigm has emerged, named “Digital Transformation” (DT), which highlights the sweeping changes that firms, organizations and society in general are undertaking to respond to digitization (Mariani & Wamba, 2020; Nambisan, 2017; Sjödin et al., 2020). Digital technologies are disruptive within organizations (both public and private) by way of enabling automation of data processing and timely and effective decision-making processes, as well as innovative ways to create value. Academics and practitioners alike have indicated a steadily growing interest toward analyzing and understanding the different and multifaceted dimensions, perspectives, sectors and dynamics that are intrinsic to DT (Nambisan et al., 2017; Ndou et al., 2021). It's worth noting that DT is a subject of considerable relevance for many different sectors, such as the tourism and health sector (Annosi et al., 2020; Ndou et al., 2022; Sikandar et al., 2022), as well as being pivotal in addressing social problems and in the improvement of the environmental sustainability; DTs impact the ways and mechanisms by which waste, pollution, production, and urbanism are managed and controlled (Feroz et al., 2021). Extensive studies report the unsettled impacts that DT has on business models and value creation (Ratten, 2014; Urbinati et al., 2018), for business practices and processes (Centobelli & Ndou, 2019; Guenzi & Habel, 2020; Hysa et al., 2020; Klein et al., 2020), product and service innovation, new customers and/or markets (Ferreira et al., 2017), capabilities and competencies to improve customer experience involvement in the innovation process (Nambisan et al., 2017) and business performance outcomes (Millán et al., 2021). DT is triggering a new competitive scenario and is part of a global race for innovation, skills, competencies, investment, and knowledge and research (OECD, 2020). However, leading successful DT is not an easy task because in some ways it challenges traditional linear approaches by which companies are faced with the new and iterative advances that are needed for the volatile digital economy (Li, 2020). The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an acceleration of digital technology adoption on a wider scale, forcing companies, customers, and society to make massive use of the technology. As a result, digital transformation is no longer simply an option but it is a competitive and innovative factor that is critical for public and private organizations, as well as for countries and regions.

Data is processed in a way to understand: the context of the local development practices and stakeholders, the gaps in the design of information systems applied to support local development practices, and how local communities remain resilient in their information exchange practices. Building on the existing knowledge of context, resilience, and sustainability in ICT4D the research shows how the context of the local development practices inform resilience and in turn how resilience enables the continued operation of the local development practices (context), and how context and resilience lead to sustainable ICT4D interventions. The research contributes to theory by showing how the social and technical resources distributed in the social system and the stakeholders' networks can be unlocked to conceptualize the links between the triple concepts. It informs practitioners on how they can develop a holistic understanding of the socio-technical contexts of local developments and the socio-technical factors to design resilient ICT4D that will lead to sustainable digital interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":"89 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50122262","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}

However, there remains very limited understanding of this phenomenon from an African woman's perspective. This is particularly concerning when considering the positionality of African women, in a form of deeply entrenched and systemic marginalization in relation to women from other parts of the world. It is these unique circumstances that warrant study specifically aimed at uncovering and elevating their experiences. This qualitative study has explored and highlighted the dynamics African women face when deciding to pursue a technology‐related profession or studies. An understanding of the experiences of African women can provide a different lens for examining the concept of a “leaky pipeline,” as a phenomenon that has been used to explain the shortage of women in STEM fields. The findings highlight both the motivations as well as challenges experienced by African women pursuing STEM profession and studies. Some of the motivations highlighted include personal interest or capability, as well as the family setting of an individual and status of STEM profession their contexts. The phenomenon of impostor syndrome was identified as one of the clear challenges experienced by African women. The findings also highlight the complexity of factors that act as both challenge as well as motivation. These include gender perception and stereotypes, access (or lack thereof) to role models, family influences, and exposure to technology at a young age. While the study accomplishes the aim of elevating experiences of African women pursuing STEM professions and studies, it is clear that further studies are necessary in this area in order to develop a rich understanding of these experiences in relation to the well‐known systemic issues confronting African women. This deep and nuanced understanding will play a crucial role in formulating meaningful and sustainable resolutions.","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":"89 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/isd2.12259","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50150273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Davison,&nbsp;Luiz Joia","doi":"10.1002/isd2.12258","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/isd2.12258","url":null,"abstract":"Recognizing the importance of digital transformation in developing countries more broadly, we organized a joint special issue on digital transformation in Latin America in EJISDC and also our sister journal, the Information Systems Journal (ISJ). Latin America is home to approximately 10% of the world's population and possesses nearly 10% of its wealth. These data alone should be enough to justify the importance of the region and stimulate new research on the impact of digital technologies in transforming economies, societies, and organizations in Latin America. Besides, there are unique nuances to the digital transformation that is taking place in Latin America. In fact, being a developing region, it faces unique political, social, and economic issues that shape the digital transformation and make it distinct as compared with other regions around the world. This uniqueness demands original scholarly insights into the nature of digital transformation in Latin America, especially considering the observation that Information Technology (IT) implementation has been of paramount importance for the development of the region (see, for instance, Alderete, 2018; Avgerou, 2003, 2008; Avgerou & Walsham, 2017; Markus & Rowe, 2018). Indeed, the digital transformation potential for the development of regions such as Latin America is no longer in doubt, as several scholars have expounded on the developmental impacts accrued from IT endeavors (see, for instance, Davison et al., 2000; Guim on de Ros & Agapitova, 2013; Joia & Zamot, 2002; Macadar & Reinhardt, 2002; Mariscal, 2005; Markus & Rowe, 2018; Romo-Rodríguez, 2005; Silva & Figueroa, 2002; Unwin & Unwin, 2009; Walsham, 2017). Thus, it is important that scholars identify and investigate the research questions that address the digital transformation paradigm in Latin America. Undoubtedly, there are unique aspects to the Latin American culture and context that are well worth investigating, modeling, and using as a basis for theory development on digital transformation in emerging markets. These theories may extend existing theories adapted specifically to the Latin American context, or they may be entirely new theories that are needed to explain organizational or socioeconomic phenomena in the region (Zheng et al., 2018). That way, the main objective of this special issue of EJISDC is to address the potentialities of digital transformation for development in Latin America as well as highlight the possible obstacles to implement the same in the public and business administration areas in the region. Therefore, that special issue presents papers that take the Latin American context into account and shed light on the peculiarities of same on the success or failure of digital transformation initiatives in public and business administration in the region.
