Globalization and information technology enable people to join the movement of global citizenship and work without borders. However, different type of barriers existed that could affect collaboration in today’s work environment, in which different generations are involved. Although researchers have identified several technical barriers to intergenerational collaboration (iGOAL), the influence of cultural diversity on iGOAL has rarely been studied. Therefore, using a quantitative study approach, this paper investigates the impact of differences in cultural background on perceived technical and operational barriers to iGOAL. Our study reveals six barriers to IGC that are perceived differently by culturally diverse people (CDP) and non-CDP. Furthermore, CDP can foster IGC because CDP consider the barriers to be of less of a reason to avoid working with different generations than do non-CDP.
Immer mehr ältere Menschen leben von ihren Angehörigen getrennt und können über Kommunikationsmedien wie Telefon und Skype nur eingeschränkt gemeinsame Erlebnisse erzeugen. In diesem Paper wird die technische Umsetzung eines Konzeptes vorgestellt, das es Familienmitgliedern ermöglicht über das Internet gemeinsam „Mensch-ärgere-dich-nicht“ zu spielen. Durch Videotelefonie und eine besondere Anordnung der Hardware werden die Spieler trotz räumlicher Trennung virtuell an einen Tisch gebracht und dadurch ein gemeinsames Erlebnis erzeugt. Die Clientanwendung wird dabei als plattformunabhängiger Webservice und die Videotelefonie mittels verschiedener Standards und Server realisiert.
Public transportation will become highly automated in the future, and at some point, human drivers are no longer necessary. Today many people are skeptical about such scenarios of autonomous public transport (abbr.: APT). In this paper, we assess users’ subjective priority of different factors that lead to personal acceptance or rejection of APT using an adapted online version of the Q-Methodology with 44 participants. We found four prototypical attitudes to which subgroups of participants relate: 1) technical enthusiasts, 2) social skeptics, 3) service-oriented non-enthusiasts, and 4) technology-oriented non-enthusiasts. We provide an unconventional perspective on APT acceptance that helps practitioners prioritize design requirements and communicate, targeting users’ specific attitudes.
