  • Watched but Not Seen: Electronic Employee Monitoring as Workplace Imprisonment and Its Effect on Social Recognition

    Open AccessG Jansen, Hadassa Noorda et al.ARTICLESociology2025Cited by: 1References: 58

    Electronic employee monitoring has strongly increased over the last decades. This article investigates to what extent electronic and non-electronic monitoring practices affect feelings of (mis)recognition both at the workplace and more widely in society. To better comprehend the effects of electronic monitoring, we use Noorda's conception of 'imprisonment'. Building on the argument that electronic monitoring resembles a situation of imprisonment,…

  • The irony of the smart home: How the IoT shifts power balances and reinforces household values

    Open AccessAlex Van Der Zeeuw, Alexander J A M Van Deursen et al.ARTICLEThe Information Society2023Cited by: 2References: 35

    We consider inequalities within households to be an important step for increasing our understanding of digital inequalities perpetuated by smart homes. We argue that the key to understanding the use of the Internet of Things is household choreographies rather than individual practices. We specifically address different power relations between household members in regard to their use of IoT devices. Using interview data collected through five visi…

  • A Capability Approach to worker dignity under Algorithmic Management

    Open AccessLaura Lamers, Jeroen Meijerink et al.ARTICLEEthics and Information Technology2022

    This paper proposes a conceptual framework to study and evaluate the impact of ‘Algorithmic Management’ (AM) on worker dignity. While the literature on AM addresses many concerns that relate to the dignity of workers, a shared understanding of what worker dignity means, and a framework to study it, in the context of software algorithms at work is lacking. We advance a conceptual framework based on a Capability Approach (CA) as a route to understa…

  • Development and validation of the Internet of Things Skills Scale (IoTSS)

    Open AccessAlexander J A M Van Deursen, Alex Van Der Zeeuw et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2022

    The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to have a massive impact on people’s lives. However, the system’s complexity is also likely to make it an important topic of investigation in digital inequality research. Those who have the skills to use the IoT to its full potential and gain maximal benefits have a technology at hand that will have the power to increase their (already privileged) positions. Prerequisites for and impacts of user (consumer)…

  • The orchestrated digital inequalities of the IoT: How vendor lock-in hinders and playfulness creates IoT benefits in every life

    Open AccessAlex Van Der Zeeuw, Alexander J A M Van Deursen et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2022References: 9

    As the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the next frontier for the digital divide, we argue that access to most of the IoT and its benefits are hindered by vendor lock-in. Yet, people with an advanced set of operational skills can find creative ways to overcome vendor lock-in. In this article, we study socio-contextual dispositions to why some people are better able to capitalize on IoT benefits creatively than others. We use interview data an…

  • On their own turf? The level-specificity of political trust in multilevel political systems

    Open AccessDominika Proszowska, G Jansen et al.ARTICLEActa Politica2022Cited by: 10References: 71

    Although the debate on roots of political trust is ongoing, many scholars agree on the relevance of such political factors as political/ideological distance between citizens and incumbents, political responsiveness and perceptions of performance. Less clear is to what extent such trust evaluations are generalized or specific for the three main political arenas in the European multilevel governance system (EU, national, local). With new data from …

  • Digital inequalities in the Internet of Things: Differences in attitudes, material access, skills, and usage

    Open AccessAlexander J A M Van Deursen, Alex Van Der Zeeuw et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2021

    The Internet of Things (IoT) is more complex and abstract than previous information and communication technologies as there are many connections occurring. New challenges for users arise from increased amount of data, decisions made automatically, less visibility and more ambiguity, and magnified security and privacy risks. There is a fair chance that only a selective group will benefit, making it important to study IoT from a digital inequality …

  • Political trust in a multilevel polity: Patterns of differentiation among more and less politically sophisticated citizens

    Open AccessDominika Proszowska, G Jansen et al.ARTICLEInternational Review of…2021Cited by: 11References: 35

    Differentiation in political trust attitudes occurs when citizens distinguish between different political institutions in terms of their trustworthiness. This article explores patterns of citizens’ (non-)differentiation between the local, national and European Union governance levels with regard to political trust. With unique Dutch data, we find that trust evaluations of each pair of governments (local–national/national–European Union/local–Euro…

  • Inequalities in the social use of the Internet of things: A capital and skills perspective

    Open AccessAlex Van Der Zeeuw, Alexander J A M Van Deursen et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2019Cited by: 6References: 12

    In this article, we set out to explain different types of social uses of the Internet of Things (IoT) using forms of capital and Internet skills. We argue that the IoT platform entices different manners of social communication that are easily overlooked when focusing on the novelty of smart “things.” How people use the IoT socially is crucial in trying to understand how people create, maintain, or absolve social relations in a networked society. …

  • Self-employment as atypical or autonomous work: Diverging Effects on Political Orientations

    Open AccessG JansenARTICLESocio-Economic Review2019Cited by: 20References: 29

    It is often held that the self-employed are an economically conservative, political right-wing class. Previous studies, however, have primarily dealt with self-employed workers as a relatively monolithic social class with shared interests as entrepreneurs and (potential) employers. But, with its recent rise, self-employment has developed into a heterogeneous employment type, with a growing number of dependent and precarious self-employed. In this…

  • Farewell to the rightist self-employed? ‘New self-employment’ and political alignments

    Open AccessG JansenARTICLEActa Politica2017Cited by: 5References: 52

    This study aims to provide theoretical and empirical clarity on whether people in “new” and precarious self-employment support the same political parties as those in traditional forms. Theoretical clarity is needed as the voting literature predominantly perceives self-employment in terms of class-based theories or insider/outsider theories, i.e., as a privileged grouping with shared interests as (potential) employers. Alternative perspectives, lo…

  • The Diffusion of Strikes: A Dyadic Analysis of Economic Sectors in the Netherlands, 1995-2007

    G Jansen, Roderick Sluiter et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology2016Cited by: 1References: 57

    This study examines the extent to which strikes diffuse across sectors and to what extent this diffusion of strikes can be explained by similarities and interdependencies between sectors. For this purpose, the authors examine a unique temporally disaggregated and dyadic database on strikes in Dutch sectors during the 1995–2007 period. Based on a series of discrete-time event-history models, their study clearly supports the relevance of intersecto…

  • Effects of Union Organization on Strike Incidence in EU Companies

    Open AccessG JansenARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2014Cited by: 5References: 33

    The author reinvestigates the relationship between the organizational power of trade unions and strikes based on data from the European Company Survey 2009 (ECS-2009) and the Institutional Characteristics of Trade Unions, Wage Setting, State Intervention and Social Pacts (ICTWSS) database, which include more than 5,000 firms across all 27 European Union (EU) member states. He shows that the incidence of strikes is higher in companies for which wo…

  • Explaining the Breakdown of the Religion–Vote Relationship in The Netherlands, 1971–2006

    G Jansen, N D De Graaf et al.ARTICLEWest European Politics2012Cited by: 17References: 28

    This article examines the extent to which changes in the effect of religion on voting in The Netherlands since the 1970s can be explained by ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’ approaches. The first includes religious integration and education. The latter category encompasses the restructuring of the party system and changes in party positions. Hypotheses are tested employing logistic and conditional logistic regression analyses of the Dutch Parliamentary…
