-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [AJIS] New Section: Research on the Role of Technology in Workforce Management Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2019 10:41:45 +1100 From: Ajis Editor <ajis.eic(a)gmail.com> To: ISHoDs <IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISAus <IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hi, The *Australasian Journal of Information Systems *has just published its latest special section. *Research on the Role of Technology in Workforce Management * *Preface to Research on Role of Technology in Workforce Management*. *Gupta, M., Pandey, J., Gaur, J., & Vohra, N. * doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v23i0.2185 *Talent Attraction through Online Recruitment Websites: Application of Web 2.0 Technologies.* *Banerjee, P., & Gupta, R. * *Abstract* Talent attraction is one of the major challenges for HR managers. With the rise of online recruitment channels, the number of applicants for a given job vacancy have increased substantially. In addition, the time taken in finding the right talent from the huge pool of applications has increased significantly, adding up to the hiring cycle. In today’s competitive labour market, employers need to highlight their brand image to prospective job-seekers, so that there is higher chance of recruiting the best talent that fits their manpower requirement. In this paper, an attempt is made in investigating that to what extent web 2.0 technologies such as podcasts, blogs and online employee testimonials may enhance the employer's brand value in the eyes of employed professionals. A multi-group moderated mediation analysis is conducted with 361 working professionals who are active online recruitment platform users. The analysis helps establish the effect of the perceived quality and credibility of career websites on job-seekers’ perception about the employer and on their subsequent application intention. The findings reveal positive effect of video podcasts and realistic employee testimonials presented through third party blogs on job-seekers’ perceived quality and credibility of the job advertisement. This phenomenon is reflected in their heightened attraction for the employer and eventual intention to apply for jobs at the firm. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v23i0.1762 *Drivers of Employee Engagement in Global Virtual Teams.* *Shaik, F., & Makhecha, U * Abstract Global Virtual Teams (GVTs) comprise geographically distributed groups of people collaborating with each other through technology-mediated communication. Members of GVTs are from different cultural backgrounds and time zones, who may (or may not) meet in person to take complex decisions or to deliver on the tasks that are of strategic importance. Though technology has enabled GVTs in almost all multinational organisations across all industries, keeping the members of GVTs engaged over the duration of the team's task or project could still pose a challenge for organisations. Employee engagement is defined as an employee's cognitive, behavioural and physical state directed towards organisational outcomes. While employee engagement has been researched in a collocated team context, it remains an under-researched area in the context of GVTs. Given that there are several characteristics of GVTs which are distinct from the collocated team, it warrants a separate inquiry, which we undertake in this study. This study uses the Job Demands-Resources theory of employee engagement to derive the drivers of employee engagement in GVTs. Through interpretive analysis of the lived experiences of members working in an organisation which extensively uses GVTs for achieving its strategic goals, we conceptualise five drivers of employee engagement, namely, cultural intelligence, communication (formal and informal), technology, trust and individual maturity. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v23i0.1770 *Impact of Supervisors’ Perceived Communication Style on Subordinate’s Psychological Capital and Cyberloafing.* *Agarwal, U * *Abstract* Drawing from Conservation of Resources Theory (COR), the purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of supervisor’s perceived communication style (passive, aggressive, and assertive styles) on subordinates PsyCap and cyberloafing. The study also tests the mediating role of PsyCap in the relationship between perceived communication style (CS) of supervisor and cyberloafing. In total, 680 full-time managerial employees from seven diverse firms in India were studied through questionnaire survey. Standard instruments were used to assess the constructs. Results revealed that perceived CS of supervisors-assertive, aggressive and passive styles have an impact on cyberloafing. PsyCap partially mediated the relationship between supervisors perceived assertive and aggressive perceived CS and cyberloafing. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications of the study are discussed. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v23i0.1759 *Expectation from Technology and Career Satisfaction: A study among IT Professionals in India. * *Tomer, G., & Mishra, S * *Abstract* Technology is an integral part of the work life of any information technology (IT) professional. However, the influence of technology on career related outcomes of IT professionals is at best limited. Using the P-E fit perspective, the present study investigated the implications of the perceived fit/ misfit between the expected and the experienced career growth and work-life balance from the technology the IT professionals are working in on their career satisfaction. Based on response surface methodology and polynomial regression analysis of the data collected from 286 IT professionals, the study found that not only the fit, but also the misfit between expected and experienced technology led career growth and work-life balance is important in explaining career satisfaction. Implications of the study for both research and practice were discussed. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v23i0.1761 -=-=-=- *Call for Papers* AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context.

Machine learning, recommender systems, and user modeling are key enabling technologies that allow intelligent systems to learn from users and adapt their output to users' needs and preferences. However, there has been a growing recognition that these underlying technologies raise novel ethical, legal, and policy challenges. It has become apparent that a single-minded focus on the user preferences has obscured other important and beneficial outcomes such systems must be able to deliver. System properties such as fairness, transparency, balance, openness to diversity, and other social welfare considerations are not captured by typical metrics based on which data-driven personalized models are optimized. Indeed, widely-used personalization systems in such popular sites such as Facebook, Google News and YouTube have been heavily criticized for personalizing information delivery too heavily at the cost of these other objectives. Bias, fairness, and transparency in machine learning are topics of considerable recent research interest. However, more work is needed to expand and extend this work into algorithmic and modeling approaches where personalization and user modeling are of primary importance. In particular, it is essential to address these challenges from the standpoint of understanding stereotypes in users’ behaviors and their influence on user or group decisions. The 2nd Workshop on Fairness in User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization aims to bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss ethical, social, and legal concerns related to personalization and user modeling with the goal of exploring a variety of mechanisms and modeling approaches that help mitigate bias and achieve fairness in personalized systems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following. - Bias and discrimination in user modeling, personalization and recommendation - Computational techniques and algorithms for fairness-aware personalization - Definitions, metrics and criteria for optimizing and evaluating fairness-related aspects of personalized systems - Data preprocessing and transformation methods to address bias in training data - User modeling approaches that take fairness and bias into account - User studies and other empirical studies to evaluate impact of personalization on fairness, balance, diversity, and other social welfare criteria - Balancing needs of multiple stakeholders in recommender systems and other personalized systems - "Filter bubble" or "balkanization" effects of personalization - Transparent and accurate explanations for recommendations and other personalization outcomes --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: March 13, 2019 (23:59 American Samoa Zone - UTC-11) Notification of acceptance: March 26, 2019 Camera-ready due: April 3, 2019 (23:59 American Samoa Zone - UTC-11) --------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- Research papers reporting original results as well as position papers proposing novel and ground-breaking ideas pertaining to the workshop topics are solicited. Manuscripts must be in English with a maximum length of 6 pages for research papers and 3 pages for position papers (with a maximum of one additional page for references). Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF) proceedings template: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

With the arrival of Industry 4.0, the Big Data created within the Internet of Things is so enormous that it cannot be fully processed in conventional databases. Thus new challenges in an area of Digitalisation and Big Data have created opportunities to explore the information value using data analytics. In order to drive the next horizon of operational effectiveness, Big Data solutions are used to optimize business processes and reduce decision-making time etc.. Given the complex nature of the information, Big Data and IoT are demanded to address the interaction and flexibility issues among the new intelligent objects. By providing increasing access to Data and advanced capabilities to analyse large amounts of data we need to re-examine the value contribution of insights and impacts these technologies offer to business. With this workshop we aim to provide an international forum that explores various business benefits of data and information. Information creates not only value in financial terms but also in terms of operational and strategic advantages. Thus exploring the value of information and its management is crucial to the success of world-leading organizations. The value of information can be determined by its importance to and the impact information has on the business operations such as decision making, strategy development or optimizing supply chains. However, the issue of how to manage the value of information is still challenging and research so far could only address limited aspects. It has been argued that if information result in enhanced business value, the focus needs to shift from project based cost/benefit analysis to managing the overall value creation of information. Furthermore, over the last decade a move from solely technical aspects to a combination of multiple contextual factors such as technology, sector, organizational culture, and management style can be observed. The information systems literature has consistently emphasized the need for alignment of information systems with organizational goals and strategies and its impact on organizational performance. One of the key challenges and subject of continuous debate focuses on how to achieve, measure, increase and manage information and the value it creates to organisations. It has been concern to researchers and management for many years and the difficulty in measuring less tangible benefits has been emphasized. With this workshop we aim to go beyond traditional IT productivity and cost evaluations; we view information as a crucial asset that creates value to an organizations, and thus needs to be managed accordingly for optimal business value. In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for discussing approaches, models, results and case studies or experience reports addressing a broad range of issues related to Information Value Management. Research challenges include how to determine the Value of Information and its impact on business performance, managing Data and Information Quality, capturing and maintaining Information Assets, and designing and improving Information Manufacture System. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and can be based on case studies, quantitative and quantitative methods, design science as well as experimental and simulation. In addition practical oriented research and experience reports are encouraged.

Best papers of the workshop, after further revisions and independent reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Wiley Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (IF 1.167). ***** SCOPE ***** The design of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) comprises systems of systems that include several heterogeneous components. Manufacturers of such systems have to address several networking, dynamic and uncertain environmental constraints. CPSs are often safety-critical, i.e., any malfunctioning of the system may seriously harm its user. However, the involved communicating peripherals also necessitate the consideration of security issues, so that the proper functioning of a CPS is not affected by cyber-security threats. The engineering of a CPS requires high safety integrity levels and strong assurances for their fitness for public use against safety hazards and cyber-security threats. Considering safety and security requirements in the design of CPS increases their reliability, confidentiality, integrity and availability. This also ensures the continuous provision and protection of essential services and assets. However, contemporary systems and software engineering methods and approaches are often not adequate for the high-confidence design and manufacturing of CPSs. This is especially true within the era of big data. ***** TOPICS ***** The overall aim of this workshop is to address a broad range of issues related to cyber-security, functional safety and their interplay within the context of CPSs – including but not limited to: - Functional safety, cyber-security and their interplay - Model-driven engineering - Privacy and confidentiality - Specification, verification & validation - System architecture, design, decisions and tradeoffs, e.g., correct-by-design or privacy-by-design - Artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning approaches - Regulation, homologation, legalization and certification - Case studies, experience reports, benchmarking and best practices - Healthcare, transportation, aerospace, energy, robotics, finance, business, etc ***** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***** In order to encourage participation and discussion, this workshop solicits two types of submissions: regular papers and short papers. - Regular paper submissions about original work not exceeding 15 pages. - Short paper submissions on recent or ongoing work on relevant topics and ideas not exceeding 6 pages. - Submissions to IWCFS 2019 workshop must be original and must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. - Formatting guidelines refer to http://www.dexa.org/formatting_guidelines - Submission is made electronically in PDF format using our conference management system (http://www.dexa.org/paper_submisjudged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the workshop.
