For technology addiction, researchers have developed a variety of self-reported scales in areas such as Internet, smartphones, videogames, social network sites (SNS) or television. However, no uniform criteria or definition exists for technology addiction. Utilized dimensions of technology addiction, to measure specific outcomes, lack a conceptual standard. Therefore, linkages between technology areas dimensions have not been examined in a broader way by the research community, in order to develop a uniform technology addiction scale. In this regard, firstly, a theoretical model was developed in order to extract common technology dimensions. Secondly, a systematic literature review in the areas of Internet, smartphone, video games and SNS was conducted in order to extract the dimensions used. To identify relevant studies, nine databases (GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, EmeraldInsight, Wiley, SpringerLink, ACM, iEEE and JSTOR) were searched, producing 4698 results, and 50 studies met the inclusion criteria. Thirdly, the developed theoretical model was utilized in order to determine the dimension in each of the identified scales. Based on analysis of the dimensional distributions, the findings suggest that there are common dimensions across areas of technology such as "compulsive use" and "negative outcomes" but also differences in dimensions across areas such as "social comfort" and "mood regulation", which are more used in the area of SNS. Moreover, new dimensions such as "cognitive absorption" or "utility and function loss" for technology addiction were extracted, which should be considered as these have not yet been researched in a broader way. In addition, no gold standard for the conceptual criteria or definition for technology addiction has been developed yet.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AbramovaGladkayaKrasnova2021, author = {Abramova, Olga and Gladkaya, Margarita and Krasnova, Hanna}, title = {An unusual encounter with oneself}, series = {ICIS 2021: IS and the future of work}, booktitle = {ICIS 2021: IS and the future of work}, publisher = {AIS Electronic Library (AISeL)}, address = {[Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar]}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Helping overcome distance, the use of videoconferencing tools has surged during the pandemic. To shed light on the consequences of videoconferencing at work, this study takes a granular look at the implications of the self-view feature for meeting outcomes. Building on self-awareness research and self-regulation theory, we argue that by heightening the state of self-awareness, self-view engagement depletes participants' mental resources and thereby can undermine online meeting outcomes. Evaluation of our theoretical model on a sample of 179 employees reveals a nuanced picture. Self-view engagement while speaking and while listening is positively associated with self-awareness, which, in turn, is negatively associated with satisfaction with meeting process, perceived productivity, and meeting enjoyment. The criticality of the communication role is put forward: looking at self while listening to other attendees has a negative direct and indirect effect on meeting outcomes; however, looking at self while speaking produces equivocal effects.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{AbuJarour2021, author = {AbuJarour, Safa'a}, title = {Digital inclusion}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-51053}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-510535}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {217}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In this thesis, we tackle two social disruptions: recent refugee waves in Germany and the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as a key means of alleviating these disruptions and promoting social inclusion. As social disruptions typically lead to frustration and fragmentation, it is essential to ensure the social inclusion of individuals and societies during such times. In the context of the social inclusion of refugees, we focus on the Syrian refugees who arrived in Germany as of 2015, as they form a large and coherent refugee community. In particular, we address the role of ICTs in refugees' social inclusion and investigate how different ICTs (especially smartphones and social networks) can foster refugees' integration and social inclusion. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we focus on the widespread unconventional working model of work from home (WFH). Our research here centers on the main constructs of WFH and the key differences in WFH experiences based on personal characteristics such as gender and parental status. We reveal novel insights through four well-established research methods: literature review, mixed methods, qualitative method, and quantitative method. The results of our research have been published in the form of eight articles in major information systems venues and journals. Key results from the refugee research stream include the following: Smartphones represent a central component of refugee ICT use; refugees view ICT as a source of information and power; the social connectedness of refugees is strongly correlated with their Internet use; refugees are not relying solely on traditional methods to learn the German language or pursue further education; the ability to use smartphones anytime and anywhere gives refugees an empowering feeling of global connectedness; and ICTs empower refugees on three levels (community participation, sense of control, and self-efficacy). Key insights from the COVID-19 WFH stream include: Gender and the presence of children under the age of 18 affect workers' control over their time, technology usefulness, and WFH conflicts, while not affecting their WFH attitudes; and both personal and technology-related factors affect an individual's attitude toward WFH and their productivity. Further insights are being gathered at the time of submitting this thesis. This thesis contributes to the discussion within the information systems community regarding how to use different ICT solutions to promote the social inclusion of refugees in their new communities and foster an inclusive society. It also adds to the growing body of research on COVID-19, in particular on the sudden workplace transformation to WFH. The insights gathered in this thesis reveal theoretical implications and future opportunities for research in the field of information systems, practical implications for relevant stakeholders, and social implications related to the refugee crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic that must be addressed.}, 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.
