"Jag ville inte sitta på digitala fikor": En kvalitativ intervjustuide om Aller medias kommunikativa övergång till distansarbete under covid-19. / "I didn´t want to participate in digital coffee breaks": A qualitative interview study about Aller media's communicative transition to telework during covid-19.Thelander, Hanna, Devantier, Nathalie January 2021 (has links)
Covid-19 har lett till att många företag har behövt göra en hastig övergång från kontorsarbete till distansarbete. Denna studie har undersökt hur mediebolaget Aller medias interna kommunikation har påverkats av övergången till distansarbete till följd av covid-19. En forskningslucka har identifierats gällande organisationskommunikation under distansarbete, specifikt oplanerat distansarbete till följd av covid-19. Studien kommer utgå från ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv på organisationskommunikation och analysera hur digitala kommunikativa processer har skapats och bidragit till meningsskapande upplevelser under distansarbetet. Studiens huvudsakliga teoretiska ramverk består av två teorier sett ur ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv; Communicative Constitution of Organizations och Affordance. Kvalitativa intervjuer har utfört med sex anställda på Aller media, tre medarbetare och tre chefer. Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade och utfördes på plats, via zoom och via telefonsamtal med hänsyn till intervjupersonernas geografiska position. Målet med intervjuerna var att urskilja intervjupersonernas olika upplevelser av hur kommunikationen har förändrats under distansarbetet. Studiens resultat föreslår att Aller medias interna kommunikation har ändrat form och har upplevts olika av olika personer. Den informella kommunikationen har begränsats då det är svårt att skapa naturliga samtal via digitala kommunikationsmedel. Slutligen kan det påvisas att den interna kommunikationen på ett kontor är svår att efterlikna i en digital miljö. / Covid-19 has forced many organizations to make a rapid transition from having their employees work in an office to them being required to work from home. This new form of working from home has been called "to telework". The aim of this study has been to examine how the transition to telework, due to covid-19, has affected the media company Aller Media's internal communication. A research gap has been identified concerning organizational communication during telework, specifically unplanned telework due to covid-19. The study will assume a social constructivist perspective on organizational communication and analyze how digital communicative processes have been created and how they have contributed to sensemaking experiences during telework. The theoretical framework of this study will mainly consist of two theories seen from a social constructivist perspective; Communicative Constitution of Organizations and Affordance. Qualitative interviews have been conducted with six individuals at Aller media, three employees and three bosses. The interviews were semi-structured and conducted at Aller Media's office, through Zoom and through phone calls depending on the interviewees geographical position. The goal of the interviews was to tell the different experiences of the interviewees and how the communication has changed during the period of telework. The result of the study suggests that Aller Media's internal communication has changed form and been experienced differently by the coworkers. The informal communication has been limited considering the difficulty of creating natural conversations through digital communication platforms. In conclusion, the study suggests that informal communication in an office is difficult to imitate in a digital environment.

Pilotierung von Teilhabe an der praktischen Lehre durch Einsatz von Telepräsenzrobotern an der Medizinischen Fakultät DresdenRöhle, Anne, Mailach, Jonas, Willemer, Marie-Christin 31 May 2023 (has links)
Das Medizinische Interprofessionelle Trainingszentrum (MITZ) ist ein Skills Lab, in welchem Studierende (ST) praktische und kommunikative Kompetenzen für ihren späteren Berufsalltag erlernen. Bedingt durch die COVID-19-Pandemie musste sich das MITZ mit neuen Möglichkeiten der Teilhabe an der Lehre auseinandersetzen (Röhle, 2021) und pilotierte dies mit der Anschaffung von zwei Telepräsenzrobotern (TPR). TPR sind mobile Remote-Präsenz-Systeme, welche neben der klassischen Videokonferenz den ST zusätzlich die Möglichkeit geben, sich autonom zu bewegen (Wolff & Möller, 2021). Dadurch wird die informelle Kommunikation und der Austausch unterstützt (Lee & Takayama, 2011), deren Fehlen ST während des Studiums in Zeiten der COVID-19-Pandemie als besonders herausfordernd empfunden haben (Traus et al., 2020). Im Folgenden wird die Pilotierung des Einsatzes von Telepräsenzrobotern in der medizinischen Lehre vorgestellt. [Aus: Hintergrund]

Conversational Use of Photographic Images on Facebook: Modeling Visual Thinking on Social MediaAlbannai, Talal N. 05 1900 (has links)
Modeling the "thick description" of photographs began at the intersection of personal and institutional descriptions. Comparing institutional descriptions of particular photos that were also used in personal online conversations was the initial phase. Analyzing conversations that started with a photographic image from the collection of the Library of Congress (LC) or the collection of the Manchester Historic Association (MHA) provided insights into how cultural heritage institutions could enrich the description of photographs by using informal descriptions such as those applied by Facebook users. Taking photos of family members, friends, places, and interesting objects is something people do often in their daily lives. Some photographic images are stored, and some are shared with others in gatherings, occasions, and holidays. Face-to-face conversations about remembering some of the details of photographs and the event they record are themselves rarely recorded. Digital cameras make it easy to share personal photos in Web conversations and to duplicate old photos and share them on the Internet. The World Wide Web even makes it simple to insert images from cultural heritage institutions in order to enhance conversations. Images have been used as tokens within conversations along with the sharing of information and background knowledge about them. The recorded knowledge from conversations using photographic images on Social Media (SM) has resulted in a repository of rich descriptions of photographs that often include information of a type that does not result from standard archival practices. Closed group conversations on Facebook among members of a community of interest/practice often involve the use of photographs to start conversations, convey details, and initiate story-telling about objets, events, and people. Modeling of the conversational use of photographic images on SM developed from the exploratory analyses of the historical photographic images of the Manchester, NH group on Facebook. The model was influenced by the typical model of Representation by Agency from O'Connor in O'Connor, Kearns, and Anderson Doing Things with Information: Beyond Indexing and Abstracting, by considerations of how people make and use photographs, and by the notion of functionality from Patrick Wilson's Public Knowledge, Private Ignorance: Toward a Library and Information Policy. The model offers paths for thickening the descriptions of photographs in archives and for enriching the use of photographs on social media.

Hur kommunicerar mellancheferna strategiskt? : Strategizing i dagligvaruhandeln / How do middle managers strategically communicate? : Strategizing in the retail sectorPålsson, Olivia, Tour, Anna January 2022 (has links)
Strategizing är vad människor i en organisation gör när de planerar och medverkar i aktiviteter som ska bidra till företagets riktning. Forskning inom strategizing har tidigare fokuserat på organisationens ledning, men även medarbetarperspektivet kan bidra till en bredare uppfattning, då medarbetarna ofta uppfattar strategisk kommunikation på ett annat sätt. Mellancheferna är väsentliga medlare i genomförandet av strategiska förändringar och deras roll är att förmedla samt anpassa strategisk information till sina medarbetare. Syftet med studien är att vidga förståelsen kring strategizing genom att undersöka hur företagens strategiska information kommuniceras genom mellancheferna på operativ nivå inom dagligvaruhandeln. Den empiriska datan är baserad på två företag inom dagligvaruhandeln, Willys och City Gross. Datan har samlats in genom kvalitativ metod med hjälp av en kombination av intervjuer, observationer och dokumentanalys, bestående av externa och interna dokument. Studiens resultat lyfter teamets arbete och menar att trivsel skapar effektivitet och måluppfyllnad. En varierad arbetssituation lägger grunden för förändringar i personalbehovet. Mellancheferna bör fortsätta använda sig av dialoger för att säkerställa anpassningen och översättningen av informationen. De behöver bli bättre på att använda mötesstrukturen och tekniska hjälpmedel. / Strategizing is what people within the organization do when they plan and take part in activities that should contribute to the direction of the company. Research in strategizing has previously focused on top management but the perspective of the employees can contribute to a wider perception as well, because of the employees’ conception of strategic communication. The middle managers are crucial intermediators in the implementation of strategic development and their position is to communicate and adjust the strategic information to their employees. The purpose of this study is to expand the understanding about strategizing by investegate how the companies’ strategic information communicates through the middle managers on the operational level within the retail sector. The empirical data is based on two companies within the retail sector, Willys and City Gross. The data has been gathered through a qualitative method using a combination of interviews, observations and content analysis, containing external and internal documents. The result of the study highlights teamwork and that well-being creates efficiency and goal fulfillment. A work situation with variation establishes a foundation for changes in staff requirements. The middle managers should keep using dialogues to ensure the adjustment and translation of the information. They need to improve their use of meeting structure and technical tools.
