- Research on online communities has shown that content production involves manifest groups and latent users. This paper conceptualizes a related but distinct phenomenon of latent groups. We ground this contribution in a longitudinal study on the Finnish Wikipedia (2007–2014). In the case of experts working on content within their area of expertise, individuals can constitute a group that maintains itself over time. In such a setting, it becomes viable to view the group as an acting unit instead of as individual nodes in a network. Such groups are able to sustain their activities even over periods of inactivity. Our theoretical contribution is the conceptualization of latent groups, which includes two conditions: 1) a group is capable of reforming after inactivity (i.e., dormant), and 2) a group is difficult to observe to an outsider (i.e., non-manifest).

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While software metrics are indispensable for quality assurance, using metrics in practice is complicated. Quality, productivity, speed, and efficiency are important factors to be considered in software development (Holmstrom et al. 2006; Svensson 2005). Measuring correct metrics and using them in the right and transparent way contributes to pushing development in a desirable direction, leading to achieving projected goals and outcomes (Staron and Meding 2018). On the other hand, tracking the wrong metrics, and failing to interpret and communicate them properly results in a stressful work environment, conflicts, distrust, lower engagement, and decreased productivity (de Sá Leitão Júnior 2018; Ellis et al. 1991; Staron 2012). To ensure proper and effective use of metrics in organizations, successful communication around metrics is essential (Lindström et al. 2021; Post et al. 2002; Staron and Meding 2015). The purpose of this study is to understand and improve communication about metrics in contexts of contemporary software development practice in organizations. This is achieved by identifying the bottlenecks in the process of communication around metrics and how to overcome them in practice. Drawing on 38 semi-structured interviews and interactive workshops with metrics teams members and stakeholders from three organizations, we identify three interrelated challenges including limited knowledge about metrics and lack of terminology, uncoordinated use of multiple communication channels, and sensitivity of metrics, which influence workplace communication, trust, and performance. Our study shows the importance of developing metrics terminology to ensure the development of a shared understanding of metrics. Further, raising awareness about the affordances such channels as dashboards, email, MS Teams meetings/chat, stand up meetings, reports, etc., commonly used in software organizations, and how they can be combined to successfully transfer information about metrics is essential (Verhulsdonck and Shah 2020). It becomes especially important in remote work practices. Finally, though metrics is a powerful tool for decision making, enhancing transparency, and steering development in the desired direction, they can also turn into finger-pointing, blaming, and a pressing tool, resulting in stress and conflicts (Streit and Pizka 2011). The findings also indicate the importance of creating a culture around metrics, clarifying, and informing about the purpose of metrics in the organization (Umarji and Seaman 2008). We plan to build on the early findings of this study to develop a comprehensive framework for successful software metrics communication within organizations.

Online privacy concerns: A broad approach to understanding the concerns of different groups for different uses
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Computers in Human Behavior. - : Elsevier BV. - 0747-5632. ; 53, s. 419-426

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Questions regarding personal privacy are becoming increasingly relevant, and the discussion continuously arises regarding what digital tracks we leave. Intrusive use and manipulation of personal information not only affect people’s behaviour, but also they could have important implications for political and civic society. Previous research has relied on convenience samples and has often focused on one or only a few areas of use. The presented study, based on a probability sample, gives an overall picture of how privacy concerns are perceived in different online contexts and how socio-demography, internet experience, trust, and political orientation contribute to the understanding of privacy concerns in different settings. The results clearly point to privacy concerns as being very diverse and dependent on the applications in question. All dimensions that are used to explain privacy concerns are partly supported in the study. But their explanatory powers differ and not all areas of concern are affected by the same explanatory factors. Trust in other people is the single most important factor explaining privacy concerns when using digital media and applications. The more people trust others, the less concern they have for misuse of personal information.

“Hiding in the Crowd?” In Pursuit of Perceived Anonymity through a Uniform Visual Presentation on Algorithm-driven Social Media Platforms
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems 2024.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Collective anonymity is defined as a large group of social media users collectively adopting a uniform identification presentation (e.g., an identical online pseudonym and avatar). This emerging trend is increasingly prevalent on algorithm-driven social media, proactively leveraged by users to increase perceived anonymity. To conceptualize it and understand its drivers and outcomes, this study investigated one exemplary form of collective anonymity on Xiaohongshu. Using an inductive approach, interview data with fourteen participants was collected and analysed through a thematic approach. Our findings (a) explained the underlying mechanisms of collective anonymity; (b) unpacked users’ internal motivations and extrinsic factors that drive it; (c) uncovered its downstream consequences pertinent to human-human interaction and human-algorithm engagement. Our study also provides important implications on algorithmic regulation and governance, the ethical use of algorithmic recommendations, and the mitigation of disinhibited and deviant behaviour resulting from collective anonymity.

A NEAT Solution : Where Interaction Design and Public Health Meet
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Office workers tend not to move about during work hours. A series of medical observational studieshave shown that extended sitting is associated with several negative health outcomes includingobesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), breast and colon cancer and prematuremortality. Therefore, developing ways to encourage physical activity and breaking the habit ofprolonged sitting in offices is urgently needed. Few studies, however, have investigated the natureof local movement and mobility in workspaces in depth and taking a cross disciplinary approach.This paper reports on an ongoing cross-disciplinary research project targeted at increasing physicalactivity of office workers while reducing prolonged sitting. Our collaboration between thedepartments of Informatics, Public Health and Clinical Medicine and the Design School at UmeåUniversity resulted in two ethnographic studies. This led to the development and implementation oftwo prototypes referred to as the “NEAT Lamp” and the “Talking Tree”. The “NEAT Lamp” is asimple sensor-based lamp that was evaluated in situ in our second ethnographic study. The resultsof this study deepened our understanding of local movement and mobility in offices and resulted inthe design of a second prototype, the “Talking Tree”. Using the knowledge gained through ourethnographic studies and the experience of using the prototypes, we were able to develop aconceptual framework for describing the patterns of local movement and mobility of office workers.This paper describes the process leading to the development of this framework. Moreover, ithighlights how this process benefited from the cross-disciplinary nature of the project.

Social media for user innovation in Living Labs : a framework to support user recruitment and commitment
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the XXIV ISPIM conference. - Lappeenranta : Lappeenranta University of Technology Press. - 9789522654212

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social media are becoming an increasingly relevant channel for user involvement. However, their uptake in Living Labs environments, as a means to engage users in innovation processes, is still limited. The aim of this paper is to explore challenges and opportunities related to the usage of social media for user involvement in co-creative processes, The findings presented emerge both from the available literature and case studies, and emphasise four different dimensions influencing user engagement: facilitator, community, platform and innovation process. Based on these dimensions, the authors propose a basic framework, intended as the point of departure for taking the next step toward the construction and verification of theoretical constructs that can help inform and guide future innovation projects.

#metoo, byggbranschen och de gröna näringarna
- 2021
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kampen mot sexuella trakasserier och våld mot kvinnor har alltid varit en central fråga för kvinnorörelsen. Denna rapport går djupare in i förutsättningen för denna kamp inom två olika branscher – byggbranschen och de gröna näringarna – och försöker förstå vilka specifika omständigheter och förutsättningar inom varje bransch som utgör sammanhanget till aktivismen mot sexuella trakasserier. Vi ger här en överblick av den svenska #metoo-aktivismen 2017-2018, samt en mer detaljerad skildring av organiseringen av #sistaspikenikistan samt #skiljagnarnafrånvetet, två av de 77 upprop som organiserades av olika grupper. Data har samlats ihop utifrån en tvärvetenskaplig ansats enligt den enkla principen ”vad hände då, oktober-december 2017, och vad har hänt sedan dess?” Vi har samlat detta högst aktuella, unika men flyktiga datamaterial som återfanns på sociala och i traditionella medier och intervjuat initiativtagare, deltagare och andra centrala personer runt uppropen, medan de fortfarande hade händelserna i någorlunda färskt minne.
