Some PSOs already successfully deploy conversational agents (CAs) to communicate with citizens and support digital service delivery. In this paper, we used design science research (DSR) to examine how CAs could be designed to assist PSOs in fighting false information online. We conducted a workshop with the municipality of Kristiansand, Norway to define objectives that a CA would have to meet for addressing the identified false information challenges. A prototypical CA was developed and evaluated in two iterations with the municipality and students from Norway. This research-in-progress paper presents findings and next steps of the DSR process. This research contributes to advancing the digital transformation of the public sector in combating false information problems.}, language = {en} } @article{MarxStieglitzBruenkeretal.2023, author = {Marx, Julian and Stieglitz, Stefan and Br{\"u}nker, Felix and Mirbabaie, Milad}, title = {Home (office) is where your heart is}, series = {Business \& information systems engineering}, volume = {65}, journal = {Business \& information systems engineering}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer Gabler}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {2363-7005}, doi = {10.1007/s12599-023-00807-w}, pages = {293 -- 308}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Working conditions of knowledge workers have been subject to rapid change recently. Digital nomadism is no longer a phenomenon that relates only to entrepreneurs, freelancers, and gig workers. Corporate employees, too, have begun to uncouple their work from stationary (home) offices and 9-to-5 schedules. However, pursuing a permanent job in a corporate environment is still subject to fundamentally different values than postulated by the original notion of digital nomadism. Therefore, this paper explores the work identity of what is referred to as 'corporate nomads'. By drawing on identity theory and the results of semi-structured interviews, the paper proposes a conceptualization of the corporate nomad archetype and presents nine salient identity issues of corporate nomads (e.g., holding multiple contradictory identities, the flexibility paradox, or collaboration constraints). By introducing the 'corporate nomad' archetype to the Information Systems literature, this article helps to rethink established conceptions of "home office" and socio-spatial configurations of knowledge work.}, language = {en} } @article{BruenkerMarxMirbabaieetal.2023, author = {Br{\"u}nker, Felix and Marx, Julian and Mirbabaie, Milad and Stieglitz, Stefan}, title = {Proactive digital workplace transformation}, series = {Journal of information technology}, journal = {Journal of information technology}, publisher = {Sage Publishing}, address = {London}, issn = {0268-3962}, doi = {10.1177/02683962231219516}, pages = {19}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Digital transformation fundamentally changes the way individuals conduct work in organisations. In accordance with this statement, prevalent literature understands digital workplace transformation as a second-order effect of implementing new information technology to increase organisational effectiveness or reach other strategic goals. This paper, in contrast, provides empirical evidence from two remote-first organisations that undergo a proactive rather than reactive digital workplace transformation. The analysis of these cases suggests that new ways of working can be the consequence of an identity change that is a precondition for introducing new information technology rather than its outcome. The resulting process model contributes a competing argument to the existing debate in digital transformation literature. Instead of issuing digital workplace transformation as a deliverable of technological progress and strategic goals, this paper supports a notion of digital workplace transformation that serves a desired identity based on work preferences.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ClausenBruenkerStieglitz2023, author = {Clausen, S{\"u}nje and Br{\"u}nker, Felix and Stieglitz, Stefan}, title = {Towards responsible augmentation}, series = {ACIS 2023 proceedings}, booktitle = {ACIS 2023 proceedings}, publisher = {Australasian Association for Information Systems}, address = {Wellington}, pages = {9}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies can increasingly perform knowledge work tasks, such as medical diagnosis. Thereby, it is expected that humans will not be replaced by AI but work closely with AI-based technology ("augmentation"). Augmentation has ethical implications for humans (e.g., impact on autonomy, opportunities to flourish through work), thus, developers and managers of AI-based technology have a responsibility to anticipate and mitigate risks to human workers. However, doing so can be difficult as AI encompasses a wide range of technologies, some of which enable fundamentally new forms of interaction. In this research-in-progress paper, we propose the development of a taxonomy to categorize unique characteristics of AI-based technology that influence the interaction and have ethical implications for human workers. The completed taxonomy will support researchers in forming cumulative knowledge on the ethical implications of augmentation and assist practitioners in the ethical design and management of AI-based technology in knowledge work.}, language = {en} }
