Moving beyond the duality of personal benefits and privacy risks, we theorize that users hold social considerations (i.e., social benefits and risks) that underlie their acceptance decisions. To test our propositions, we chose the context of COVID-19 contact tracing apps and conducted a qualitative pre-study and longitudinal quantitative main study with 589 participants from Germany and Switzerland. Our findings confirm the prominence of individual privacy calculus in explaining intention to use and actual behavior. While privacy risks are a significant determinant of intention to use, social risks (operationalized as fear of mass surveillance) have a notably stronger impact. Our mediation analysis suggests that social risks represent the underlying mechanism behind the observed negative link between individual privacy risks and contact tracing apps' acceptance. Furthermore, we find a substantial intention-behavior gap.}, language = {en} } @article{AbuJarourAjjanFedorowiczetal.2021, author = {AbuJarour, Safa'a and Ajjan, Haya and Fedorowicz, Jane and K{\"o}ster, Antonia}, title = {ICT support for refugees and undocumented immigrants}, series = {Communications of the Association for Information Systems : CAIS}, volume = {48}, journal = {Communications of the Association for Information Systems : CAIS}, publisher = {Association for Information Systems}, address = {New York, NY}, issn = {1529-3181}, doi = {10.17705/1CAIS.04840}, pages = {456 -- 475}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Immigrant integration has become a primary political concern for leaders in Germany and the United States. The information systems (IS) community has begun to research how information and communications technologies can assist immigrants and refugees, such as by examining how countries can facilitate social-inclusion processes. Migrants face the challenge of joining closed communities that cannot integrate or fear doing so. We conducted a panel discussion at the 2019 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) in Cancun, Mexico, to introduce multiple viewpoints on immigration. In particular, the panel discussed how technology can both support and prevent immigrants from succeeding in their quest. We conducted the panel to stimulate a thoughtful and dynamic discussion on best practices and recommendations to enhance the discipline's impact on alleviating the challenges that occur for immigrants in their host countries. In this panel report, we introduce the topic of using ICT to help immigrants integrate and identify differences between North/Central America and Europe. We also discuss how immigrants (particularly refugees) use ICT to connect with others, feel that they belong, and maintain their identity. We also uncover the dark and bright sides of how governments use ICT to deter illegal immigration. Finally, we present recommendations for researchers and practitioners on how to best use ICT to assist with immigration.}, language = {en} } @article{AbuJarourAjjanFedorowiczetal.2021, author = {AbuJarour, Safa'a and Ajjan, Haya and Fedorowicz, Jane and Owens, Dawn}, title = {How working from home during COVID-19 affects academic productivity}, series = {Communications of the Association for Information Systems : CAIS}, volume = {48}, journal = {Communications of the Association for Information Systems : CAIS}, publisher = {Association for Information Systems}, address = {New York, NY}, issn = {1529-3181}, doi = {10.17705/1CAIS.04808}, pages = {55 -- 64}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced most academics to work from home.

This study proposes a new approach to understanding extreme events and boom-bust processes in agricultural markets. Using weekly futures data for twelve indexed agricultural commodities during 2006 to 2016, we find that extreme price changes, located in the 10\% tails of the distribution, cluster across agricultural markets. We then implement a multinomial logit model to investigate which factors are associated with the propagation of extreme events. Specifically, we disentangle three transmission conduits. (1) The macroeconomic conduit captures the possibility that the synchronized extreme price events are generated by business-cycle driven demand shifts mainly in emerging economies. (2) The financial conduit refers to potential links between extreme returns and the increasing flow of money from financial participants into agricultural futures markets. (3) Finally, the energy conduit accounts for possible spillover effects due to oil price shocks. Our results indicate an important role of managed money positions and oil prices while the real demand channel remains mostly insignificant. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
