CPR2023 Conference Website
For close to 60 years, ACM SIGMIS 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 calls for attention and concerted research in
three key areas, including: (1)-Re-Imagining IT Workforce Post the
COVID-19 Global Pandemic; (2) Embracing and promoting the
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the IS career ecosystem;
and (3)-Safeguarding the security of IT systems in the times of
global instability. The three areas with sample questions are
described below.
At the same time, papers on traditional IT workforce topics
pertaining to personnel, training, workforce, and leadership are
also most welcome.
(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 career and workforce development.
Important questions such as: 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 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 for Advances
in Information Systems, pointed to significant yet underexplored
issues in the IS discipline: diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI).
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 DEI in
the IS education and IS career ecosystems. A better understanding
of DEI associated challenges and action plans would address
questions such as, 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.)? or 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 the 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 is 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?
or What are the essential, new skills, knowledge, and abilities
(SKA) required of IT security professionals in local, national,
and global work environments?
These and many more questions will need to be examined as we move
towards a new normal way of work and life transformed by digital
technologies in the times of global crises. What and how will IT
workforce seek to adapt to in a changing world of social unrest
will allow us to broaden and reimagine the role and meaning of IT
profession in the challenging world full of unrest and
unpredictability.
