Abstract:
|
Although the Digital Divide has received extensive attention in the media and more scholarly arenas, only recently have experts suggested that the use of technology in the workplace might influence use at home. The research reported here examines differences in access levels and currency (e.g., having the latest version of the technology) for five communication technologies relevant to the workplace: email, voicemail, mobile phones, fax, and videoconferencing. In doing so, we have drawn on research examining the Digital Divide more generally and applied an organizational justice/fairness framework to help describe differences both within and between organizations. Survey questionnaires from 137 respondents from a diverse set of organizations reveals the existence of various communication technology divides especially within, but also between, organizations. Although these divides were largely unrelated to fairness outcomes, the differences in access and currency did vary depending on the communication technology being examined. |
