Gendered Work Culture in Free/Libre Open Source Software Development
'Wiley', 2019Co-Authors: Lin Yu-wei, Den Besten MatthijsAbstract:This article adopts a feminist perspective to examine masculine Work Culture in the development of free/libre open source software. The authors draw on a case study of ‘the Heidi Bug’ discovered during the development of the Mozilla Firefox web browser to examine how 'gendered talk' was (en)-acted to facilitate 'bricolage' in an online Work environment. Such gendered talks contain cultural references familiar to male developers. Though seemingly innocuous, such acts could be seen as a performance of gender that simply reflects the hegemonic heterosexual masculine Culture manifested in online virtual Work space. The virtual Work space therefore can be exclusive to those who shared the cultural references. Although it may not necessarily be ignorance or insensitivity of male developers, a more gender-balanced, women-friendly and inclusive Work place certainly would benefit from a more diverse environment. This paper highlights the gendered aspect of software development through examining the language use and mainstream 'bricolage' practice, and establishes a compelling ground for enlarging the talent pool to include more women and integrating gender ethics (e.g., raising awareness of sensitive languages and design approaches) into computer ethics education.REF Compliant by Deposit in Stirling's Repositor

Work Culture among healthcare personnel in a palliative medicine unit
The European health psychologist, 2014Co-Authors: Beate Andre, Endre Sjovold, Marte Daaeqvale Holmemo, Toril Rannestad, Gerd Inger RingdalAbstract:ObjectiveUnderstanding and assessing health care personnel’s Work Culture in palliative care is important, due to the conflict between “high tech” and “high touch”. The aim of this study was to explore the Work Culture at a palliative medicine unit (PMU).MethodHealthcare personnel (N = 26) at a PMU in Norway filled in a questionnaire. The Systematizing Person-Group Relations (SPGR) method was used for gathering data and for the analyses. The method seeks to explore which aspects dominate the particular Work Culture. ResultsThe healthcare personnel Working at the PMU had significantly higher scores than the “Norwegian Norm (NN)” in vectors in the “Withdrawal” dimension and significant lower scores in vectors in the “Synergy,” “Control,” and “Dependence” dimensions.Discussion Healthcare personnel at the PMU have a significantly different perception of their Work Culture than NN in several dimensions. The low score in the “Synergy” and “Control” dimensions indicate lack of engagement and constructive goal orientation, and not being in a position to change their behavior. The conflict between “high tech” and “high touch” at a PMU seems to be an obstacle when implementing changes.

The database search yielded14510 hits. Closer examination showed that 10401 ofthese hits were duplicates. Of the remaining 4109 arti-cles, only 10 were related to our aim for the study. Aqualitative method were used to explain and understandphenomena of Work Culture and quality if care in nur-sing homes.Findings: Nine out of 10 articles in this review studyemphasise the importance of leadership style and sup-portive management to increase quality of care in nurs-ing homes. Increased empowerment, participation andinfluence were important factors for improving quality ofcare. Significant associations between Work Culture andquality of care and between empowerment and qualityof care were reported.Conclusion: Nursing management and leaders must takein consideration that Work Culture is crucial for improv-ing quality of care in nursing homes, and this study canbe used to increase the focus on the Work Culture amonghealthcare personnel in nursing homes. Changes are nec-essary to increase healthcare personnel′s job satisfaction,empowerment, autonomy and influence in nursinghomes. Giving empowerment to the healthcare personnelWorking in nursing homes is both an organisational andan interpersonal issue.

Work Culture among healthcare personnel in a palliative medicine unit
Palliative & Supportive Care, 2013Co-Authors: Beate Andre, Endre Sjovold, Marte Daaeqvale Holmemo, Toril Rannestad, Gerd Inger RingdalAbstract:Objective: Understanding and assessing health care personnel's Work Culture in palliative care is important, as a conflict between “high tech” and “high touch” is present. Implementing necessary changes in behavior and procedures may imply a profound challenge, because of this conflict. The aim of this study was to explore the Work Culture at a palliative medicine unit (PMU). Method: Healthcare personnel ( N = 26) at a PMU in Norway comprising physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and others filled in a questionnaire about their perception of the Work Culture at the unit. The Systematizing Person-Group Relations (SPGR) method was used for gathering data and for the analyses. This method applies six different dimensions representing different aspects of a Work Culture (Synergy, Withdrawal, Opposition, Dependence, Control, and Nurture) and each dimension has two vectors applied. The method seeks to explore which aspects dominate the particular Work Culture, identifying challenges, limitations, and opportunities. The findings were compared with a reference group of 347 ratings of well-functioning Norwegian organizations, named the “Norwegian Norm.” Results: The healthcare personnel Working at the PMU had significantly higher scores than the “Norwegian Norm” in both vectors in the “Withdrawal” dimension and significant lower scores in both vectors in the “Synergy,” “Control,” and “Dependence” dimensions. Significance of results: Healthcare personnel at the PMU have a significantly different perception of their Work Culture than do staff in “well-functioning organizations” in several dimensions. The low score in the “Synergy” and “Control” dimensions indicate lack of engagement and constructive goal orientation behavior, and not being in a position to change their behavior. The conflict between “high tech” and “high touch” at a PMU seems to be an obstacle when implementing new procedures and alternative courses of action.

expectations and desires of palliative health care personnel concerning their future Work Culture
Journal of Hospital Administration, 2013Co-Authors: Beate Andre, Endre Sjovold, Marte Daaeqvale Holmemo, Toril Rannestad, Gerd Inger RingdalAbstract:Introduction: Exploring the Work Culture of health care personnel is important in order to understand the challenges they face and the issues they experience. Believing in and shaping their futures indicates a Working Culture influenced by promoting factors. The aims of this study were to explore how health care Workers at a Palliative Medicine Unit perceive their future Work Culture would be and whether they perceive that their expectations and desires will be fulfilled. Design: A correlational study. Methods: Health care personnel, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and others (N = 26) at a PMU in Norway completed a questionnaire according to the two perspectives, expectations ( future ) and desire ( wish ). The findings in these two perspectives were compared. The method seeks to explore what aspects dominate the particular Work Culture and identifying challenges, limitations, and opportunities. The findings were also compared with a reference group of 347 ratings of well-functioning Norwegian organizations, named the “Norwegian Norm”. Results: The findings for the wish perspective showed significant ( p 0.05; p >0.05) for opposition and control dimensions than the findings for the future perspective. Conclusions: It appears that the health care personnel wish for changes that they don’t believe they will achieve. The changes the respondents wish for are fewer negative Work Culture qualities, such as assertiveness and resignation, and more positive Work Culture qualities, such as engagement and empathy. Changes must be made to give the health care personnel improved Working conditions and empowerment in order to change their situations to reflect what they wish for. The present findings can give an indication as to the direction that research ought to follow in subsequent studies.

Gendered Work Culture in Free/Libre Open Source Software Development

The authors draw on a case study of ‘the Heidi Bug’ discovered during the development of the Mozilla Firefox web browser to examine how 'gendered talk' was (en)-acted to facilitate 'bricolage' in an online Work environment. Such gendered talks contain cultural references familiar to male developers. Though seemingly innocuous, such acts could be seen as a performance of gender that simply reflects the hegemonic heterosexual masculine Culture manifested in online virtual Work space. The virtual Work space therefore can be exclusive to those who shared the cultural references.
