摘要

本研究的目的是为孟加拉国成衣(RMG)提供一个移动信息系统(MbIS)框架,因为人们越来越关注RMG所有者和工人需要使用技术授权。我们的研究采用了一种定性研究方法,基于对RMG所有者、工人、非政府组织(ngo)和IT专家的访谈。访谈数据表明,MbIS有潜力赋予RMG所有者/工人权力。mbi支持的授权意味着获得信息、能力、影响;自决和意义是RMG工作者的授权组件。改善沟通、有机会了解员工法规、获得健康和安全信息、增强对能力和专业发展机会的信心,这些都是使用MbIS的潜在赋权结果。这是少数几篇全面研究MbIS对工人赋权的论文之一,因为大多数文献是从消费者的角度出发,而不是从组织的角度出发。该研究通过为RMG所有者/员工使用MbIS授权过程、组件和授权结果,为RMG、政府和开发组织提供实用知识。其他服装生产发展中国家也可以深入了解如何使用MbIS赋予成衣工人权力。

Mobile Phone-based Information Systems for Empowerment: Opportunities for Ready-made Garment Industries
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to present a Mobile information System (MbIS) framework for Bangladeshi ready-made garments (RMG), as there is growing concern RMG owners and workers require empowerment using technology. Our study employed a qualitative research methodology based on interviews with RMG owners, workers, non-government organizations (NGOs) and IT experts. The interview data suggested MbIS has the potential to empower RMG owners/workers. MbIS-enabled empowerment suggests access to information, competency, impact; self-determination and meaning are empowerment components for RMG workers. Improved communication, the opportunity to access employee regulations, access to health and safety information, increased confidence with regard to ability and professional development opportunities are potential empowerment outcomes of using MbIS. This is one of the few papers examining MbIS comprehensively for worker empowerment, as most literature approaches the matter from the consumer standpoint, not in an organizational setting. The study contributes by providing practical knowledge to the RMG, government, and development organizationsin empowerment processes, components and empowerment outcomes using MbIS for RMG owners/employees. Other garment-producing developing countries may also gain insight into how to empower RMG workers using MbIS.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM) is a refereed international journal that is supported by Global IT scholars from all over the world. JGITM publishes articles related to all aspects of the application of information technology for international business. The journal also considers a variety of methodological approaches and encourages manuscript submissions from authors all over the world, both from academia and industry. In addition, the journal will also include reviews of MIS books that have bearing on global aspects. Practitioner input will be specifically solicited from time-to-time in the form of invited columns or interviews. Besides quality work, at a minimum each submitted article should have the following three components: an MIS (Management Information Systems) topic, an international orientation (e.g., cross cultural studies or strong international implications), and evidence (e.g., survey data, case studies, secondary data, etc.). Articles in the Journal of Global Information Technology Management include, but are not limited to: -Cross-cultural IS studies -Frameworks/models for global information systems (GIS) -Development, evaluation and management of GIS -Information Resource Management -Electronic Commerce -Privacy & Security -Societal impacts of IT in developing countries -IT and Economic Development -IT Diffusion in developing countries -IT in Health Care -IT human resource issues -DSS/EIS/ES in international settings -Organizational and management structures for GIS -Transborder data flow issues -Supply Chain Management -Distributed global databases and networks -Cultural and societal impacts -Comparative studies of nations -Applications and case studies
