Building trust in workplace information systems
Employees’ trust in information systems is crucial for their successful adoption. This study examines potential trust antecedents, including personal factors, system factors (reliability, credibility, usability, design aesthetics), and contextual and service structures (support, participation, abilities of involved individuals). We conducted a longitudinal field study with four measurement points in four companies introducing new information syst…
Translating Between Public Administration and the Digital. A Study on the Motivation and Career Choices of Digital Governance Students
Educational programmes in eGovernment or digital government attract a diverse set of students who are interested in the public sector and technological trends. These programmes aim to train a new generation of digital government professionals. However, we know relatively little about how such programmes succeed in training translators who are able to bridge the world of the public sector and that of digitalization. In this paper we systematically…
Adopting information systems at work
For users to adopt information systems, they must develop trust in such systems. Even though trust theories consistently define trust as dynamic, the development of trust over time has received little empirical attention. The present study examined the development of trust in a newly introduced information system and its association with antecedents related to the individual (e.g. disposition to trust), the information system (e.g. reliability), …

From one-stop shop to no-stop shop
This paper responds to two observations about current government service delivery. First, despite reasonable efforts to improve the design of forms and to establish single points of contact in one-stop shops, citizens still perceive forms as cumbersome. Second, citizens expect governments to act proactively by initiating appropriate government services themselves, instead of relying on requests for services from citizens. To address these two iss…

Media and Information Technology in Ten Years’ Time
In the process of continual change from the hand axe to the factory and now to industrial production 4.0, technology has had, and still has, two basically invariable functions: control and rationalisation. Each of these two terms is to be understood in a very comprehensive sense, in technical, engineering, commercial, legal and also social terms. This tenet also applies to television and to information technology. In my lecture, the terms “above”…

Coverage of the Tibet Crisis (March 2008) and the Olympic Games in China (August 2008) in the German-language mass media
The perception by the German media of Tibet, on the one hand, and China, on the other, could not be more contrary: the current image of China is fully in the tradition of the threatening yellow - respectively red - threat and so is strongly opposed to the positive image of Tibet (peaceful, esoteric, in need of protection). Given this double agenda setting and framing, an almost insurmountable communicative and media-political obstacle stood in th…
Erdbeerpflücker, Spargelstecher, Erntehelfer
Die arbeitsintensiven Bereiche der Landwirtschaft in der Bundesrepublik können ohne den Einsatz von Saisonarbeitern aus dem Ausland nicht funktionieren. Hier hat sich seit einigen Jahren ein ausdifferenziertes System temporärer Arbeitsmigration entwickelt. Die Studie untersucht die spezifischen politischen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen, auf die die (vor allem polnischen) Saisonarbeiter treffen, und die im Migrationsprozess entstehenden Migra…
Information for All or Knowledge for the Elite? The Contours of a Dissimilar European Information Policy
In the areas of telecommunications and databanks, the following developments are likely to occur in the former CMEA countries: I. Eastern Europe will loose human resources through brain drain. 2. Owing to a chronic lack of hard currency, information transfer from West to East will decrease. 3. The change from large national markets to small markets will involve immense cost and will impede the development of market economies. 4. In telecommunicat…
D'un espace public à un autre. De la censure à l'émergence des lois du marché dans les médias des pays de l'Est
D'UN ESPACE PUBLIC A UN AUTRE, DE LA CENSURE A L'EMERGENCE DES LOIS DU MARCHÉ DANS LES MÉDIAS DES PAYS DE L'EST Jôrg Becker A partir de l'étude de la censure dans Гех-RDA, l'auteur se penche sur l'existence, dans les pays de l'Est d'avant 1989, d'une société « dédoublée » qui s'exprime dans la contradiction _ mais aussi l'imbrication _ du discours public et du discours privé. Il analyse parallèlement l'évolution de la parole et de l'opinion publi…

Communication and Peace. The Empirical and Theoretical Relation between Two Categories in Social Sciences
If mass-media reception as well as production are at once expression and motor of structural violence; if communications technology can be understood, historically, only as an integral part of the emerging military industrial complex; if the access to and the power over the mass media are unequal and unbalanced; if, indeed, the 'law of universal violence' (Adorno and Horkheimer) obtains, then the mass media can fulfill their original hoped for fu…
Racism in Children's and Young People's Literature in the Western World
In nearly all young people's books, historical and social processes are viewed from an individualistic perspective; thus it is assumed that racial problems can be solved on the individual level only. This is usually done by appealing to pity and charity, thereby degrading the coloured people to mere ob jects. The Negro-African is often associated with ani mal behaviour and instinct. Both the Negro- African and the Afro-American are rarely por tra…
