Subject: Cyber-Fairness Symposium Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 09:39:33 -0500 From: "Alge, Bradley" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Dear Colleagues, I am interested in hearing from colleagues who have studied information/communication technology from a justice/fairness angle. I would like to organize a symposium for the 2002 Academy of Managmement meetings on the following theme: "Fairness in Cyberspace: The Challenge of Maintaining Justice in a Networked Economy" Jerry Greenberg, an expert in the area of organizational justice has agreed to serve as a discussant, contingent on our ability to field a lineup of interesting papers. Papers could focus on the unique problems of fairness that arise as a result of information technology. Some possible topics may include... -Cyber-snooping: Privacy in performance monitoring, online snooping -Cyber-slacking: Opportunities to goof-off while working offsite, telecommuting -Difficulties in maintaining interactional justice without in-person contact -Digital Divide: Social injustices created by unequal access to IT -Accuracy and correctability can be enhanced, but does IT promote Procedural Justice? -Intellectual property rights: whose information is it (employee or organization)? -Equity issues in compensating IT/e-commerce workers -Free speech, censureship online -Equity in Internet Access, information access, telecommuting, etc. Please email me directly at [log in to unmask] if you have done work in this area and/or if you are interested in contributing a paper to the symposium, or if you know someone else who might be interested.
