Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Quantifying Work

Quantifying Work

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Factors Affecting Workability

Factors Affecting Workability

The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Deindividuation

Deindividuation

Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Summary

New agentic technologies, like drones and robotic automation, assist employees by handling repetitive tasks, potentially increasing job knowledge and not reducing autonomy. These technologies may be perceived as non-human agents in the workplace.

Area of Science:

Organizational Behavior
Human-Computer Interaction
Technology Management

Background:

Organizations are integrating advanced digital technologies with agentic capabilities.
These technologies may impact human agency and work design.
Understanding employee perceptions of these changes is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the introduction of agentic digital technologies into daily work activities.
To analyze employee perceptions of work characteristics following technology integration.
To classify digital technologies and conceptualize their relationship with work characteristics.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study using thematic analysis of interviews.
Explored changes induced by drones and robotic process automation.
Interviewed experts, managers, and users in a digitalizing organization.

Main Results:

Employee autonomy was not reduced when digital technologies performed repetitive tasks.
Jobs in digitalized contexts may feature high knowledge characteristics.
Agentic technologies can be perceived as non-human agents.

Conclusions:

Digital technologies can augment, rather than replace, human agency in certain tasks.
The integration of agentic technologies may lead to enriched job roles.
Further theoretical contributions to the work design model are suggested.
