Workplace Interaction

Leadership-in-interaction is a somewhat underdeveloped area of research which to date has concentrated on talk-in-interaction to the detriment of other modalities. Consequently, this paper seeks to illustrate how social actors make use of different modalities to accomplish leadership, which we conceptualize as the creation of direction, alignment, and commitment. Through multimodal conversation analysis this paper explores interactions between actors in virtual contexts, a particularly interesting empirical setting as the context offers specific constraints on everyday workplace interaction. By zooming in on the interaction using transcripts of naturally occurring interaction, we find that the accomplishment of leadership, direction, alignment, and commitment, in a constrained virtual context can appear mundane. However, at the same time the accomplishment of leadership calls for the mobilization of several multimodal resources (both talk and information and communication technology objects). The analysis makes it evident that the actors mobilize objects to draw on their situated affordances, in the accomplishment of direction, alignment, and commitment. With a fine-grained analysis of naturally occurring data, we illustrate that leadership is a collective achievement. We also expand the understanding of leadership in practice, especially in virtual contexts, by demonstrating how actors utilize objects and verbal resources in the co-production of leadership.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kontribusi pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi di daerah tertinggal terutama aspek: 1) pembelajaran siswa, 2) kontribusi terhadap guru, dan 3) partisipasi masyarakat. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 4 Cijaku Kabupaten Lebak Banten. Sekolah ini merupakan katagori daerah Terdepan Terpencil, dan Tertinggal (3T) yang mendapat program pemanfaatan TIK dari Pustekkom Kemdikbud. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik: wawancara, wawancara mendalam, dan pengamatan. Hasil analisis data diketahui bahwa pemanfaatan TIK dalam pembelajaran telah memberikan kontribusi bagi siswa terutama aspek: pembelajaran lebih menarik, motivasi belajar meningkat, wawasan bertambah, serta meningkatkan harapan melanjutkan sekolah ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi, dan mengubah cita-cita untuk meraih hidup yang lebih baik. Kontribusi terhadap guru: memacu untuk terus belajar, mendalami kemampuan TIK, meningkatkan ilmu pengetahuan, pendalaman substansi materi pelajaran, dan metode pembelajaran. TIK juga membantu tugas dan peran guru dalam pembelajaran. Pemanfaatan TIK juga meningkatkan kepercayaan dan tinkat partisipasi masyarakat untuk menyekolahkan anaknya ke jenjang yang lebih tinggi, termasuk mendukung program sekolah lainnya. Diketahui pula bahwa tingkat pemanfaatan TIK ini masih belum optimal karena keterbatasan SDM dalam penguasaan TIK, sehingga kegiatan pelatihan dan pembinaan perlu dilakukan secara bertahap dan berkesinambungan oleh berbagai pihak terkait.This study aimed to determine the contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) utilization in remote areas, especially in the aspect of: 1) student learning, 2) contribution to the teacher, and 3)  community participation. This research was conducted at the Junior High School 4 Cijaku Lebak Banten. This school was one of schools in frontier, remote and undeveloped areas that received ICT utilization program from Pustekkom, Ministry of Education and Culture. The used a qualitative approach. Data collection was conducted with techniques: interview, in-depth interview, and observation. The results of the analysis of the data showed that the use of ICT in teaching has certain contribution to the students, especially in the aspect of: learning to be more interesting, increasing learning motivation, increasing insight, as well as increasing hope to continue studying to a higher level of school, and changing the aspiration to achieve a better life. Contributions to the teacher include: spurring to continue to learn, exploring the potential of ICTs, improving science, deepening the substance of the subject matter and methods of learning. ICTs also ease teacher’s task and role in learning. Utilization of ICT also increases public confidence and participation in sending their children to a higher level and in supporting other school programs. It was found that the rate of utilization of ICT is still not optimal due to limited human resources in the mastery of ICT, so that the training and development need to be done gradually and continuously by the various stakeholders.

The Relationship

In this article, we introduce a framework that can be used by organizations as a positioning instrument to think of business-ICT alignment decisions in light of the strategic importance of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in their organization. We make a distinction between organizations where ICT is of high strategic importance and those where ICT is of low strategic importance. Based on this difference we argue that heavily investing in business-ICT alignment processes, structures and roles (PSRs) will not necessarily always be beneficial when ICT is of low strategic importance to the business. Furthermore, organizations that have a minimalist approach to the use of ICT do not necessarily need to invest in business-ICT alignment PSRs. We explain the dynamics and possible migration scenarios of our proposed framework after testing the statistical significance of the relationship between the strategic importance of ICT and the investment in business-ICT alignment. We end this article with a short empirical study which combines survey and case study results. Both the framework and framework dynamics still need further empirical validation, preferably with longitudinal data. Therefore, we stress and acknowledge that many of the discussions in this article are still explorative in nature. However, this article illustrates the possibilities and the need for a more fine-grained approach to business-ICT alignment.

Practical Implications

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Role Of Information

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.
