- KonferenzbeitragBeyond Hallway Chats ? Negotiating Content Awareness in Hybrid Work Practices(Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Landowski, Mirjam; Effert, Jana-Sophie; Günther, Franziska; Tebart, Markus; Moerike, FraukeDeciding where to work in hybrid environments involves various factors beyond work-life balance. Awareness of colleagues’ tasks arises from overheard conversations, screen glimpses, and other informal exchanges in the office. This knowledge sharing is crucial for effective work. However, knowledge workers navigate between the office, home, and mobile work, leading to constant re-negotiations of hybrid work environments. This article uses data from ethnographic observations and qualitative interviews to illustrate how knowledge workers outweigh decisions for work location and strategically use informal office interactions to advance tasks on-site. Although the body of research on awareness and knowledge work is by now substantial, the spontaneous knowledge exchange in everyday practices is under-explored. This study addresses two questions: (I) what factors influence decisions between mobile and office work, and (II) how on-site practices generate different types of awareness that support task progress.
- KonferenzbeitragKnocking On Office Doors(Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Günther, Franziska; Moerike, FraukeThe COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated hybrid working models and required new approaches to leadership and collaboration. This study reflects on a series of shorter stints of ethnographic fieldwork spanning over 14 months exploring the practical implications of hybrid work environments in SMEs. The primary focus of this paper is on the challenges encountered in accessing the research field during the ethnographic research. Our study highlights the challenges and opportunities that arise in the design and practical application of research in hybrid work environments in SMEs. It demonstrates that hybrid working conditions require flexible and adaptable research methods to capture the complex realities of modern work practices. Despite access issues and confidentiality concerns, the ethnographic approach provided valuable insights into the practices and structures of hybrid teams. This paper aims to stimulate discussion on effective research designs and strategies to support hybrid work environments and contribute to HCI research. By fostering a deeper understanding of the dynamics and challenges of hybrid teams in SMEs, with an emphasis on the strategies for accessing these organizations.
