Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are widely used in developing nations as a dynamic solution for socio-economic development. Pakistan has seen a rapid increase in the use of ICTs during the previous decade. The purpose of this study is to examine how polychronicity affects procrastination behavior when it is influenced by ICTs. According to this study, individuals are described as a dynamic and destructive kind of self-regulation failure in ICTs. Procrastination is a behavior that prevents emerging economies from growing from developing countries. We researched the group-level polychronicity influence of the individual behavior and the mechanism of procrastination from a team-level perspective of worker behavior. This study data collected 231 workers from 76 groups working in ICTs in Pakistan. The results revealed that the group polychronicity and the behavior of group members were positively linked by taking the work overload as a mediator. Moreover, group cohesiveness moderates the role between polychronicity and work overload diminishing the mediation procession between-group polychronicity and individual procrastination. The practical importance of this study is to understand the causes of procrastination, and how to decrease this obstacle to a fairer workplace. It also helps to decide the professional route that is most suited to personality characteristics.

This special issue approaches information and communication technologies (ICT) visions and their realisation/implementation at various levels, among different actors and from various perspectives. Conceptually, we distinguish three different dimensions, even though those overlap in the individual contributions as well as in empirical reality – namely ideational, instrumental, and relational. The different contributions address both visions formulated by the Chinese state and by individual actors such as entrepreneurs. Even though the conditions for the use of ICT in China are deeply affected by state governance, this governance is in no way tantamount to one single government. As this issue’s contributions show, state attempts at building a stable cyber-governance are in need of allies and, depending on the allies’ visions and other, competitive visions, the outcomes of these dynamics are seldom truthful realisations of one original grand masterplan.

The Impact

Diffusion of information and communication technologies is a global phenomenon. In spite of rapid globalization there are considerable differences between nations in terms of the adoption and usage of new technologies. Several studies exploring causal factors including national cultures of information and communication technology adoption have been carried out. The focus of this chapter is slightly different from other studies in this area. Rather than concentrating on the individual information technology an overall e-Government readiness is the focus. This research conducted an analysis of the impact national culture has on e-Government readiness and its components for 62 countries. E-Government readiness assessment used in this study is based on the UN E-Government Survey 2008, while the national cultural dimensions were identified using Hofstede’s model of cultural differences. The research model and hypotheses were formed and tested using correlation and regression analysis. The findings indicate that worldwide e-Government readiness and its components are related to culture. The result has theoretical and practical implications.

Conceptual Formulation

The European Space of Higher Education (ESHE) is a new conceptual formulation of the organization of teaching at the university, largely involving the development of new training models based on the individual student’s work. In this context, the University of Granada has approved two plans of Educational Excellence to promote a culture of quality and stimulate excellence in teaching. The Area of Environmental Technology in the Department of Civil Engineering has developed an innovative project entitled Application of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to the Area of Environmental Technology teaching to create a new communication channel consisting of a Web site that benefits teacher and student (“Environmental Studies Centre”: http://cem.ugr.es). Through this interactive page, teachers can conduct supervised teaching, and students will have the tools necessary for guiding their learning process, according to their capacities and possibilities. However, the material is designed to serve as a complement to the traditional method of attended teaching.

Our main purpose in this chapter is to examine the possibility of stimulating self-regulation of learning (SRL) by means of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), more specifically, Web 2.0 technologies. Web 2.0 is commonly associated with applications that facilitate interactive information sharing and collaboration on the World Wide Web. To that end, the authors first present a theoretical description of the topics that are relevant to this chapter: SRL and ICTs. Second, they compare SRL and ICTs characterizing features, establishing functional relation between both sets of variables. Third, they define the Web 2.0 and two tools, Wikideas, and Creativity Connector, which were designed by us according to Web 2.0 technology. Fourth, the authors briefly report a pilot intervention they carried out in order to support SRL, using these two applications to perform some tasks that required competence in “creativity and innovation”. Lastly, after summarizing these ideas, the authors suggest further study topics that may promote interesting lines of research.

The article considers the essence and approaches to understanding network political protest. Traditional forms of collective action are changing under the influence of information and communication technologies. The network paradigm focuses on the position of the individual in the social space, the degree of his involvement in the communication space, the ability to control and regulate the intensity of the information flow. Network structures are more flexible and adaptive, more in line with the new reality. Special and main principles of the network structure of political protest are revealed. The article also presents definitions of political mobilization and demobilization. These processes Express the rivalry of the conflicting parties-the state and society, where the support of the broad masses of the population is an important category. Based on the data of the monitoring study, the features of the development of civil protest activism and the use of mobilization technologies were identified. ICTs have a significant impact on their formation and transformation. The state, reacting to forms of real and virtual activity, formulates a counteraction strategy. It is expressed in the use of technologies for the demobilization of citizens, which are also undergoing changes in the era of digitalization

Control Of Thoughts

This work presents the initial findings of the research “Self-regulated learning in Engineering students from the Army Engineering College (FIE)”. The sample of this study was made up of students from the 2016 cohort. Zimmerman’s cyclical model of “self-regulation of learning” is the main theoretical reference of this research since it allows the understanding of the processes that take place in the control of: thoughts, feelings, motivations and actions to achieve the learning objectives. It was found that for the achievement of this self-regulation in their learning a resource that they use as academic support is Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Access to the same YouTube channels and websites is similar among students. The interviewees unanimously mentioned a distinctive human trait of this faculty: the closeness and familiarity in the treatment between teachers and students. This trust is what drives them to interact freely with their teachers and allows them to raise questions and concerns through different communication channels. In summary, human communication and the effective presence of teachers enhance the use of ICTs, since they ultimately provide feedback and benefit students in accessing comprehension strategies that contribute to their academic self-regulation.
