In our research, we investigated the use of ICT solutions by refugees to foster the social inclusion process in the host community. To tackle this topic, we conducted thirteen interviews with Syrian refugees in Germany. Our findings reveal different ICT usages by refugees and how these contribute to feeling empowered. Moreover, we show the sources of empowerment for refugees that are gained by ICT use. Finally, we identified the two types of social inclusion benefits that were derived from empowerment sources. Our results provide practical implications to different stakeholders and decision-makers on how ICT usage can empower refugees, which can foster the social inclusion of refugees, and what should be considered to support them in their integration effort.}, language = {en} } @article{AbramovaWagnerOltetal.2022, author = {Abramova, Olga and Wagner, Amina and Olt, Christian M. and Buxmann, Peter}, title = {One for all, all for one}, series = {International Journal of Information Management}, volume = {64}, journal = {International Journal of Information Management}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Kidlington}, issn = {0268-4012}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2022.102473}, pages = {1 -- 16}, year = {2022}, abstract = {We propose a conceptual model of acceptance of contact tracing apps based on the privacy calculus perspective. 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} } @inproceedings{AbramovaGundlachBilda2021, author = {Abramova, Olga and Gundlach, Jana and Bilda, Juliane}, title = {Understanding the role of newsfeed clutter in stereotype activation}, series = {PACIS 2021 proceedings}, booktitle = {PACIS 2021 proceedings}, number = {473}, publisher = {AIS Electronic Library (AISeL)}, address = {[Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar]}, isbn = {978-1-7336325-7-7}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Despite the phenomenal growth of Big Data Analytics in the last few years, little research is done to explicate the relationship between Big Data Analytics Capability (BDAC) and indirect strategic value derived from such digital capabilities.

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} } @article{AbramovaGladkayaKrasnova2024, author = {Abramova, Olga and Gladkaya, Margarita and Krasnova, Hanna}, title = {The differential effects of self-view in virtual meetings when speaking vs. listening}, series = {European journal of information systems}, journal = {European journal of information systems}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {0960-085X}, doi = {10.1080/0960085X.2024.2325350}, pages = {1 -- 19}, year = {2024}, abstract = {With the surging reliance on videoconferencing tools, users may find themselves staring at their reflections for hours a day.

And how do topics discussed change over time? The study leans on the goals associated with the health information seeking (GAINS) model, discerning whether a post aims at tackling and eliminating the problem (i.e., problem-focused) or managing the emotions (i.e., emotion-focused); whether it strives to maximize positive outcomes (promotion focus) or to minimize negative outcomes (prevention focus). The findings indicate four clusters salient in public reactions: 1) "Understanding" (problem-promotion); 2) "Action planning" (problem-prevention); 3) "Hope" (emotion-promotion) and 4) "Reassurance" (emotion-prevention). Public communication is volatile over time, and a shift is evidenced from self-centered to community-centered topics within 4.5 weeks. Our study illustrates social media text mining's potential to quickly and efficiently extract public opinions and reactions. Monitoring fears and trending topics enable policymakers to rapidly respond to deviant behavior, like resistive attitudes toward containment measures or deteriorating physical health.

The present study examines the effect of different photographic self-disclosures on the provider's perceptions and willingness to accept a potential co-sharer.
