The IT Artifact and Telecommuting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on the concept of telecommuting or telework, as it is known in various areas of the world, has appeared in information systems (IS) and non-IS publications for more than 20 years. Research areas with respect to telecommuting are quite varied, from Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) use, to transportation, managerial control, work-life issues, and more. A significant number of these studies have taken into account the role of technology in enabling telecommuting. However, recent awareness of the IT artifact issue [1] has raised concerns for some authors, reviewers, and editors as to when the technology component is significant enough to consider some of the telecommuting research as IS research. Others, meanwhile, believe that by definition telecommuting addresses the IT artifact issue, and that this should not be a concern. In this panel, we explore the question of whether the IT artifact is an issue in IS-related telecommuting research by examining topics from multiple and sometimes competing perspectives.

متن کاملThe truncation artifact in a skinny patient following myocardial perfusion SPECT
Myocardial perfusion SPECT is one of the most common imaging techniques performed in nuclear medicine departments. To avoid misleading interpretation, it is necessary to address the quality control and technical problems. The truncation artifact occurs when the patient size is large relative to the field of view of the camera, causing false perfusion defects in the LV myocardium, misinterpreted...
متن کاملFuzzy Random Utility Choice Models: The Case of Telecommuting Suitability
Random utility models have been widely used in many diverse fields. Considering utility as a random variable opened many new analytical doors to researchers in explaining behavioral phenomena. Introducing and incorporating the random error term into the utility function had several reasons, including accounting for unobserved variables. This paper incorporates fuzziness into random utility mode...
