The broad view of projectification and the broader perspective on constant connectivity have produced insights that question conventional wisdom. However, how project practices are mediated by is under‐explored under‐theorized. We conduct a case study interplay between consulting work to address this gap. Our findings point three potential insights. First, we highlight projects in focal context characterized clockwork coordination logic. Second, show there affinity front‐stage synchronous...
Purpose The authors explore the entanglement of smartphone technology and power in this paper. This paper explores following question: In what ways does actualization affordances result empowering outcomes (i.e. increase or reduce oppression) daily lives refugees? Leveraging both affordance feminist theories, develop a hybrid lens bringing attention to contextualized relationship between social process goals for sociality, upon which introduce notion “goal-affordance interrelations”. then...

As such there have been calls for research that foregrounds normalcy offers fresh insights. Our attempts address call by focusing on materiality smartphone. findings point following affordances being enabled distinctive touchscreen app-enabled features: discrete-noticeability; scrollability; retrieveability. These in turn give rise a...
The institutional work scholarship has come of age and is starting to pay closer attention the role materiality particularly contribution spatiality change. In this paper we aim contribute latter stream research. We focus on evolution “illegality refugee employment” associated displacement phenomenon in Eastern Mediterranean (i.e., refugees who fled since start Syrian civil strife arrived as well gradually settled Lebanon).

In the current study, we investigate connections between power and technology-organizing nexus. To do this, explore how lived experience of refugees shapes enactment smartphone affordances in their day-to-day organizing practices. Our central research question is: “How perceive to enable (empower) or constrain (oppress) daily during settlement?” disentangle role technology from activities necessary for organizing, develop a hybrid lens that draws on feminist interpretation Affordance Theory...
