    A Hurricane Lamp in a Dark Night: Exploring Smartphone Use for Acculturation by Refugees
    (Workshop Gemeinschaften in Neuen Medien (GeNeMe) 2018, 2018) Merz, Alexander B.; Seone, Mamadou; Seeber, Isabella; Maier, Ronald
    Refugees arriving in Europe face numerous socio-cultural challenges towards being integrated members of their host society. While acculturation strategies and ICT use of refugees have been studied separately, we investigate refugees’ smartphone use for acculturation by conducting qualitative interviews with 30 refugees. We contribute five practices related to acculturation that express refugees’ intercultural exchange within the host society while preserving their original culture: seek information online; communicate with family and friends abroad; meet locals; meet peers and counteract boredom. Tied to these practices, we find the five consequences empowerment, connection to host society, distraction, sense of belonging and connection to origin, which give an account of the various acculturation issues and how refugees use smartphones in support thereof.

    Interfaces between human resource management and knowledge work practices
    (6th Conference on Professional Knowledge Management – From Knowledge to Action, 2011) Maier, Ronald; Seeber, Isabella; Waldhart, Gabriela; Bellandi, Valerio; Frati, Fulvio; Hrastnik, Janez
    Knowledge work has changed substantially in practice, partly due to using advanced information and communication technologies. Knowledge workers are increasingly self-organized and learn mostly informally on the work place. These changes have relevant implications for human resource management. Based on data that was collected in 11 semi-structured interviews with key people in two companies, four current knowledge work practices in the domains of competence management, knowledge management and innovation management are richly described. These practices are then analyzed with respect to highlighting and characterising potential interfaces to human resource management.

    Working from Home with Flexible and Permeable Boundaries
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 65, No. 3, 2023) Seeber, Isabella; Erhardt, Johannes
    The COVID-19 pandemic forced information workers across the world to work from home. This situation removes the physical boundary between work and home, impacting their work-life balance. How information workers configure the digital workplace (DWP) to manage their workplace boundaries and what effect this has on their individual job satisfaction remains unclear. To close this gap in the literature, 202 information workers completed an online survey. The findings partially confirm existing theory that more work flexibility increases job satisfaction while more work permeability decreases job satisfaction. However, depending on the flexibility and permeability of their work-home boundaries, the frequency with which information workers use DWP tools has cross-over effects on job satisfaction. The findings contribute to boundary theory and the new stream of digital workplace literature.
