Relational coordination in medical work: The role of digital health practices
The increasing specialization of medical work has amplified the complexity of coordination among healthcare professionals, making its effectiveness a persistent challenge. Digital health technologies – including telemedicine, electronic medical records and generative artificial intelligence – have been introduced to facilitate coordination, yet their impact on relational coordination remains debated. While some studies highlight their potential t…
Managing Social Sustainability With IoT Implementation: An Industry 5.0 Perspective
This study contributes to the understanding of the connections between Internet of Things (IoT) implementation, performance measurement and management (PMM), and social sustainability. Among the widely utilized technologies characterizing Industry 5.0, the IoT enables social sustainability through equal access to various resources, without any limitations regardless of the location. On the other hand, the literature has already demonstrated that …
Making the invisible visible: Nurses' Stealth Work to Legitimize Their Telemedicine Coordination Role
When new digital technologies are implemented, nurses are usually delegated several new organizing tasks and responsibilities. This accumulation of tasks does not always translate into improved roles for nurses, especially when their organizing work remains invisible to, and underestimated by, physicians. We explore what nurses might do to legitimize their organizing work to physicians. Empirically, we conducted a longitudinal case study of a new…
Digitally skilled or digitally competent? Evaluating the impact of e‐Facilitation on young volunteers in Italy
e‐Facilitation services are one of the instruments employed by policymakers to foster digital inclusion. Literature has hypothesized several benefits stemming from these services, including positive effects on the tutors (e‐Facilitators) in terms of competences and employability. Our study takes advantage of a new e‐Facilitation program implemented in Italy—the Servizio Civile Digitale (SCD)—to assess whether the policy is impacting the tutors' s…
Evaluating digital skills policies: Assessing the potential impact of outreach programs in Italy
Scholars and policymakers have long identified stakeholders whose activities should help reduce digital inequalities; these include “outreach initiatives,” where entities proactively go beyond their traditional boundaries to reach marginalized citizens. However, few studies have attempted to evaluate the potential impact of this approach quantitatively. Our research fills this gap, employing a static and dynamic analysis of a pseudo-panel dataset…
The psychological experience of flexibility in the workplace: How psychological job control and boundary control profiles relate to the wellbeing of flexible workers
Rather than studying workplace flexibility as the availability or usage of flexible work practices, in this study, we theorize workplace flexibility as a subjective psychological experience influenced by employees' perceptions of control over where and when they work (psychological job control) and control over their social boundaries (boundary control). Based on boundary and border theory, using a two-wave study conducted at an Italian bank ( N …
Can cluster analysis enrich the innovation resistance theory? The case of mobile payment usage in Italy
Mobile payments provide several benefits, for consumers and merchants alike. Yet, on a worldwide scale their usage is still low. Also, the barriers to mobile payment usage are still a rather unexplored topic in the literature, which is instead focused on adoption behavior. Accordingly, our objective is to investigate the factors that hinder, respectively, mobile payment usage and intention to use by consumers. The theoretical framework for our an…
Assessing the effect of organisational factors and ICT expenditures on e-maturity: Empirical results in Italian municipalities
The article quantitatively investigates the e-maturity of municipalities, defined as the extent to which a public organisation uses Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for delivering public services. We first question existing e-maturity models and then propose a new method for assessing e-maturity based on the usage of digital services. We performed a Latent Class Analysis on data from 2,219 Italian Municipalities. The article quant…
Companies’ adoption of Smart Technologies to achieve structural ambidexterity: An analysis with SEM
Mandatory provisioning of digital public services as a feasible service delivery strategy: Evidence from Italian local governments
Designing flexible work practices for job satisfaction: The relation between job characteristics and work disaggregation in different types of work arrangements
The literature on flexible work practices has not yet evaluated in detail how the characteristics of a job affect job satisfaction. This study makes a distinction between two types of flexible work practices according to their aims: the accommodation of employees’ personal lives (employment practice) and the operational reasons of a firm (work practice). Based on this distinction, we studied how the characteristics of a job, which reflect the use…
