摘要:In this study we identify a process of entrainment around open source software (OSS) development release cycles to capture patterns of self -organized task allocation among developers. We conducted an abductive, computationally intensive study of eight OSS projects, using relational event modeling to analyze 1,169,489 actions covering 93 major software releases. The process of entrainment that we identify involves three task allocation mechanisms: (1) developer -issue inertia, (2) developer co...

摘要:Online labor platforms (OLP) are transforming long-established employment relations, raising questions for researchers and policymakers alike as to the social justice implications of this increasingly pervasive, algorithmic, and platform-mediated form of work. In investigating this issue, this paper makes a case for complementing current category-based approaches to social justice, prevalent in literature and policy on OLPs, with a flow-oriented approach that recognizes the diversity of gig wo...

摘要:Digital platforms have radically transformed how we work, shop, and socialize. Despite their numerous benefits, they may also threaten social justice due to unforeseen consequences of specific design choices, preventing end users from participating equitably in the digital economy. As platform owners compete by leveraging personal data, it remains unclear how digital platforms can be designed to empower end users to control, legally own, and benefit from their data in a privacy-preserving way....

摘要:Every day, patients access and generate online health content through a variety of channels, creating an ever-expanding sea of digital data. At the same time, proponents of public health have recently called for timely, granular, and actionable data to address a range of public health issues, stressing the need for social listening platforms that can identify and compile this valuable data. Yet previous attempts at social listening in healthcare have yielded mixed results, largely because they...

摘要:Analytics services provided by marketplace platforms have become increasingly important for sellers seeking market insights. In this paper, we examine a scenario in which an analytics service plays a vital role in enhancing sellers' understanding of market size and improving their decision-making. Using a game-theoretic model, we analyze the pricing strategies of the platform and the adoption strategies of sellers for the analytics service. Our study identifies two distinct effects of analytic...

摘要:Extant research has popularized the perspective that strong network effects produce winner-take-all outcomes, which leads platforms to invest in user growth and encourages investors to subsidize these platforms. However, user growth does not necessarily imply strong user stickiness. Without user stickiness, strong network effects in the current period may fade in future periods, thus rendering a user growth strategy ineffective. By adding a time dimension to network effects, we developed a mod...

摘要:How do technology resources such as computer ownership help create opportunity equality and facilitate income mobility? This is an important question because opportunity constraint, or the lack of opportunity equality, often manifests in low income mobility in many countries. This study addresses this question by examining the spillover effects of computer ownership of households in terms of household income mobility considering spatial proximity and social proximity. Drawing on knowledge spil...

摘要:The dramatic expansion of internet communication tools has led to the increased use of temporary online groups to solve problems, provide services, or produce new knowledge. However, many of these groups need help to collaborate effectively. The rapid development of new tools and collaboration forms requires ongoing experimentation to develop and test new ways to support this novel form of teamwork. Building on research demonstrating the use of nudges to shape behavior, we report the results o...

摘要:Information systems (IS) can amplify or reduce social justice by limiting or expanding access to material and nonmaterial resources. Using the lens of symbolic and social boundaries, we focus on the role of cultural discourse in demarcating and contesting boundaries associated with IS design and adoption. We examine news media-based journalistic discourse surrounding contact tracing systems implemented in South Korea and Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic to develop a process model of tech...
