Computers and People Research (CPR) conference has engaged the
academic and practitioner communities in understanding issues
pertaining to the intersection of information technology (IT) and
people. From its roots in the studies of the IT workforce, CPR has
broadened its focus to investigate all aspects of this important
and complex relationship.
Many business organizations and the organizing of work have been
vastly challenged, and consequently changed, by the COVID-19
global pandemic, the broad social unrest of the last few years,
and the growing cybersecurity concerns. As information
technologies have penetrated our work and life, businesses and
organizations have become more dependent on the use of information
technologies as well as on the skills, knowledge and abilities of
professionals working in the IT field, especially during the times
of global health crisis and war. It is a critical time for us both
from academia and industry to ponder and ask: How can we better
prepare our IT workforce for new organizational and societal
challenges?
SIGMIS CPR 2023 welcomes papers on traditional IT workforce topics
pertaining to personnel, training, workforce, and leadership.
Moreover, SIGMIS CPR2023 calls for attention and concerted
research in the following three key areas:
(1)-Re-Imagining IT Workforce Post COVID-19 Global Pandemic. The
Covid-19 pandemic has caused the social distancing norms and
nationwide lockdowns, giving rise to new ways of work and life,
such as the common practices of work-from-home (WFH) by the
general workforce, including the IT workforce. This calls us to
update our views about IT careers and workforce development.
Important questions include but not limited to:
-What challenges and opportunities arise for IT career and
professional development in the computing and information
technology fields during and post the COVID-19 pandemic?
-What knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) will businesses and
organizations require of IT workforce to adapt to the changing
work environments (i.e., work-from-home; crowdsourced work etc)?
-How will businesses and organizations manage IT workforce in the
changing work environments (i.e., work-from-home; crowdsourced
work etc.)?
-What will the future of IT profession and IT work look like?
(2) Embracing and promoting the diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI) in the IS career ecosystem. The recent editorial “Are we
doing enough? A threefold approach to continue our commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion” authored by K.D. Joshi and
published in the Data Base Journal has pointed out the significant
yet underexplored issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
in our IS academia. As a conference dedicating to the development
and education of IS workforce, ACMSIG CPR 2023 calls for more
attention and efforts by IS education and IS Career through
embracing and promoting the equity, diversity and inclusion (DEI)
in the IS education and career ecosystem. A better understanding
of DEI associated challenges and action plans starts with the
following questions:
-How can educational institutions improve the IT career’s
visibility among diverse student populations (i.e., students of
different gender and ethnic minorities, first-generation college
students, students from minority-serving institutions, etc)?
-How can educational institutions attract and motivate more
students from economically and ethnically diverse backgrounds to
choose IT major and consider IT career?
-How can we build and sustain an education pipeline from high
school to undergraduate and graduate programs in IT and IS?
-What are the challenges and opportunities in promoting diversity,
equity and inclusion in the IS education and career ecosystem?
(3)-Safeguarding the security of IT systems in the times of global
instability. Last but not least, in many parts of the world,
organizations and managers increasingly experience a threat to the
security and privacy of their technical systems and data
resources. As a result, they have a higher expectation on IT
professionals to help them prevent or solve problems of IT
security such as data damage or loss, hacker protection, etc. As
the threats to IT security have increasing rapidly, it’s important
to understand if our IT workforce is well educated and equipped to
take on the challenging work of protecting organizational IT
systems. Questions included but not limited to the following:
-What IT security and privacy issues are challenging business
operations and organization work?
-How are businesses and organizations managing and adapting their
IT security in the times of global stability (i.e., increasing
hacker from foreign countries)?
-What are the essential, new skills, knowledge and abilities (SKA)
required of IT security professionals in local, national and
global work environments?
-What are best practices of safeguarding IT security across
businesses, organizations, and government agencies?
