The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major domino effect on industrial economies. Various policies and strategies are carried out by the government, one of the concrete steps is by issuing incentive and relaxation policies in the field of taxation for taxpayers. The Directorate General of Taxation (DGT) has the task of providing information dissemination on taxation and the current condition of COVID-19 has brought transformation to a webinar. This strategy is carried out to keep providing information and education on tax relief. This study aims to identify the extent of the influence of the webinar strategy on taxpayer participation. The sample technique in this study was purposive sampling and obtained 307 respondents who participated in the DJP webinar. This research uses a Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) theoretical approach to see the communication process of participants and speakers in a communication technology-based webinar. From the research results, it was found that there was a significant influence in the use of webinars. This is shown from the aspect of system quality, quality of information, service quality from webinars through the Zoom Meeting application, thereby increasing taxpayer participation.

As women have the potential to bring unique perspectives to the workplace, the under-representation of women in STEM occupations is a severe limitation to global advancement through research and innovation. Workplace utilization of computer-mediated communication (CMC) may impact common barriers faced by women in STEM, such as stereotypes, a “chilly” workplace climate, lack of social support and mentorship opportunities, and work-family conflict. As organizations shift further into the use of virtual communication, it is essential to take advantage of CMC as a way to facilitate gender equality in the workplace while simultaneously mitigating barriers workplace CMC may present for women in STEM. The potential implications of workplace virtual communication, virtual teams, e-mentoring, cyber incivility, and telecommuting for women in STEM careers are discussed.

This paper investigates the use of computer mediated communication (CMC) in colleges of further and higher education in the UK. Analysis is carried out by institutional type as preliminary investigation shows there are considerable differences between universities and colleges in terms of email usage. A total of 30 institutions replied to the survey: 14 Universities and 16 Colleges, some by email, others by post. This percentage is approximately 6.5% of all universities in the UK and 7% of all colleges. Whilst not a large percentage in total the results were so consistent across the sectors’ replies that they can be considered sufficiently representative of their sector. The study focuses on the use of email in support of the communication process and offers insights into the range of practice involved.

Abstract The ease of communication and anonymity that computer-mediated communication provides has created fertile ground for transgressive (socially non-normative) online behaviours. The purpose of the current research is to explore the types of transgressive comments on Iranian celebrities’ Instagram pages. Within a qualitative descriptive approach, the current research employs Braun and Clarke’s ‘thematic analysis’ to analyze transgressive user comments. Using a judgmental (purposive) non-probability sampling technique, we selected posts from 22 Iranian celebrities’ Instagram pages. Afterwards, we analyzed 53,066 comments in these posts and extracted four dominant transgressive themes: ‘unwanted advertisement,’ ‘partner seeking,’ ‘attention seeking,’ and ‘emotional release’; we then extracted their sub-themes. Transgressive behaviours disrupt the communicative experience on social networks, endanger users’ security and safety, and can lead to mental problems and even offline harassment and violence. Recognizing these behaviours and their patterns can contribute to more effective use of social control means.

The study of the relationship between stereotypes and communication is strongly interdisciplinary, involving not only communication scholars from many areas (interpersonal, discourse, organizational, mass media, computer-mediated communication, and so forth) but also social psychologists, sociolinguists, psycholinguists, and political scientists. In particular, the attention to stereotypes by communication scholars and to communication by social psychologists has helped advance scientific knowledge of the influence of stereotypes as cognitions on communicative behaviors—even at the level of word choice—and the equally strong influence of communication in all its forms on the construction and persistence of stereotypes. The research from both communication and psychological approaches has primarily applied social-scientific theories and methods to the study of stereotypes and communication, providing critical insights into stereotyping as an interpersonal communication process in which the influence of stereotypical beliefs is often implicit, that is, outside the conscious awareness of communicators. Media scholars have added to these insights by highlighting the ways mass media reflect and perpetuate social stereotypes. Discourse scholars have contributed yet another important layer of knowledge, showing how writers and speakers subtly implicate and instantiate stereotypes in text and talk. All of these approaches—interpersonal communication and psychology, discourse, and mass media—have considered the effects of communicative stereotyping on individuals and societies, strategies to reduce negative outcomes, and communication as a resource to lessen stereotyping.

The use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) is more popular than ever in both educational and corporate settings. Schools and corporations are using virtual communication to replace or supplement in-person classes and meetings. Many educators and managers are taking it a step further, having teams work in a virtual setting with members rarely or never meeting each other in person. Can a virtual team be as successful as a team where everyone works in the same physical location? Does anything different need to be done to compensate for the lack of face-to-face contact? This article identifies unique factors for virtual teams, and then provides recommendations and guidelines that can help virtual teams be successful. With the right planning, virtual teams can equal or exceed the performance of face-to-face teams.
