Practices for effective onboarding in dynamic Global Virtual Teams
Managing medical knowledge flow: Physicians' social media actualisation practices
Job crafting for female contractors in a male‐dominated profession
In this paper, we explore the job crafting experiences of women who left permanent employment for contracting positions in Information Technology (IT), a sector widely considered male‐dominated with limited career opportunities for women. This qualitative study is based on interviews with 24 female IT contractors. Findings show that through the flexibility and autonomy that come with contracting, numerous crafting practices are adopted by female …
If He Just Knew Who We Were: Microworkers' Emerging Bonds of Attachment in a Fragmented Employment Relationship
Using the lens of attachment, we explore microworkers' views of their employment relationship. Microwork comprises short-term, task-focused exchanges with large numbers of end-users (requesters), implying transitory and transactional relationships. Other key parties, however, include the platform which digitally meditates worker-requester relationships and the online microworker community. We explore the nature of attachment with these parties an…
Bringing relevance to eLearning – a gender perspective
In this paper, we discuss the importance of relevance in the provision of eLearning for the pursuit of higher education (HE). In particular, we argue how the extant literature focuses on quality and security in the design of eLearning platforms, but pays scant attention to how relevant the platform and the programme contents are to the needs of contemporary adult learners. We studied this topic from a gender perspective and identified the differe…
Leading the creative process: The case of virtual product design
Motivated by an acknowledged need to study creativity in the context of virtual project teams ( VPT s), in this article, we contribute to theory by analysing the role that leadership plays for creativity in the different phases of the creative process in VPT s. We draw on a qualitative case study with 49 members who worked in six VPT s as part of an Industry‐Academia collaboration. Using the longitudinal approach, we study each phase of the virtu…
Designing and evaluating the acceptability of Realshare: An online support community for teenagers and young adults with cancer
A participatory action approach was used to design and evaluate the acceptability of the Realshare online community. Pre and post-intervention focus groups were conducted and participants were asked to test out Realshare during two intervention periods: when a facilitator was present and when one was not. Focus group data and forum messages were thematically analysed. The themes identified related to participants' website design requirements, how…
Order and disorder in a Born Global organisation: Born Global organisation
In this paper, we explore Goffman's social order in an emergent organisational form featuring global dispersion, technology mediation, and the lack of established structure and routines. In a 14-month case study, we documented practices of ordering, disordering and individual ordering. We propose a processual approach of social order and highlight the importance of identification in social order practices
From virtual teams to virtuality in teams
In this article we propose to go beyond the dichotomy of virtual vs collocated teams to look instead at virtuality in teams. In so doing, we argue that technology-mediated interactions do not substitute but rather complement face-to-face interactions.We adopt a definition of virtuality in teams based on discontinuities and pursue an understanding of their dynamics in an in-depth case study of an inter-organizational virtual centre of excellence.T…

Virtual Interactions: Creating Impressions of Boundaries
Virtual organizations have been gaining increasing attention as an emergent and highly significant form of work organization. Discussions on the significance of virtual organizations and how information and communication technologies enable organizations to transform themselves away from their traditional physical boundaries, have improved our understanding of what such emergent organizational arrangements are or what they are not. However, altho…
Gendered patterns in computing work in the late 1990s
Computing is one of the most growing industries offering many opportunities for employment and advancement. Furthermore it is one of the newest industries which comprises of mainly young firms and relatively freshly constituted forms of working practices. Using empirical work in the UK, this paper presents and asesses gendered patterns of work and employment in the computing sector whilst comparing it to other traditionally male‐dominated sectors
Video conferencing meetings: Changing patterns of business communication
Electronic mediated communication is an increasingly popular form of communication within and across organisations. This paper presents research on the implementation, training and use of video‐conferencing systems on different sites of a multi‐national oil company. We find that error, delay but mainly social costs influence the choice and use of this communication medium
