    Soziale Roboter in organisatorischen Kontexten: Die Rolle von Kultur und zukünftiger Forschungsbedarf
    (Springer, 2023) Schmiedel, Theresa; Jäger, Janine; Zhong, Jia; Dornberger, Rolf [in: Neue Trends in Wirtschaftsinformatik und eingesetzte Technologien]
    Die Integration von sozialen Robotern in Unternehmen nimmt stetig zu. Das bedeutet, dass es in Zukunft einen vermehrten Einsatz von physisch verkörperten Robotern geben wird, die mit Menschen sozial interagieren und zusammenarbeiten. In diesem Kapitel skizzieren wir die organisatorischen Kontexte, in denen die aktuelle Forschung soziale Roboter untersucht, und weisen auf kulturelle Herausforderungen hinsichtlich ihrer Implementierung am Arbeitsplatz hin. Wir legen nahe, dass die erfolgreiche Integration von sozialen Robotern in Organisationen eine kulturelle Passung zwischen den in sozialen Robotern eingebetteten Werten und den im organisatorischen Kontext, in dem der Roboter eingesetzt wird, gelebten Werten erfordert. Darüber hinaus schlagen wir eine Agenda für zukünftige Forschung vor, die sich mit den wertebasierten kulturellen Herausforderungen bei der Einführung von sozialen Robotern in organisatorischen Kontexten befasst.

    Introducing case study audio podcasts in business and information systems studies
    (2023) Jäger, Janine; Korkut, Safak; Inglese, Terry; Schmiedel, Theresa [in: EDULEARN23. Conference proceedings. 15th International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies, Palma (Spain), 3rd-5th of July, 2023]
    The paper presents a project of the School of Business of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland in which the project team is developing case study podcasts together with Swiss-based technology startups to apply them in case-based teaching in Business and Information Systems study programs. The goal of the project is to facilitate students' access to case study contexts by allowing them to listen to podcasts for self-study and develop solutions for practice-oriented business and technology challenges in the classroom and guided group work. This provides an engaging blended learning approach for the students through increased motivation to consume the learning material as well as a deeper connection to the study material, compared to the more commonly applied text-based case studies. This can enable much more productive classroom discussions and group work and could therefore provide improved learning outcomes, such as increased reflection, critical thinking, as well as analytical and problem-solving skills. The paper enriches the blended learning debate with details about the case study podcast production from a content-related, technological and didactical perspective as well as provides insights into the planned evaluation of the application of case study podcasts with regard to learning outcomes.

    Exploring Variables That Affect Robot Likeability
    (2022) Zhong, Jia; Mürset, Nicolas; Jäger, Janine; Schmiedel, Theresa [in: 17th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI'22)]
    Like in human-human interaction, people tend to interact in human-robot settings with those they like. Therefore, it is important to understand what variables affect robot likeability. The present study aims at providing insights into how robots’ anthropomorphism, voice, gestures, approaching behaviors as well as perceived warmth and competence play a role in robot likeability. We conducted an online survey (N=191) studying two humanoid robots with different characteristics. Our exploratory study empirically indicates that the investigated variables are significantly correlated with robot likeability for both robots but with differing strengths. Further, the likeability of the two robots is predicted by differing variables, with robot voice being the only common predictor for both robots.

    May I show you the route? Developing a service robot application in a library using design science research
    (Springer, 2021) Sabbioni, Giordano; Zhong, Jia; Jäger, Janine; Schmiedel, Theresa; Ahram, Tareq; Taiar, Redha [in: Human Interaction, Emerging Technologies and Future Systems V. Proceedings of the 5th International Virtual Conference on Human Interaction and Emerging Technologies, IHIET 2021, August 27-29, 2021 and the 6th IHIET: Future Systems (IHIET-FS 2021), October 28-30, 2021, France]
    The present study demonstrates the ongoing development of a service robot application in a campus library through the application of Design Science Research (DSR) combined with user-centered design (UCD). In particular, we involved librarians and co-created an application solution addressing two use cases: giving directions to a desired subject area/book and providing recommendations for an event/book. Additionally, we involved potential end users to evaluate the robot artifact through an onsite usability test (N = 14) already within the design cycle. This process resulted in a successful application of the robot artifact for the identified use cases and shows feasibility of combining DSR with UCD.

    A user-centered agile approach to the development of a real-world social robot application for reception areas
    (2021) Zhong, Jia; Schmiedel, Theresa [in: Companion of the 2021 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction]
    As social robots are increasingly entering into the real world, developing a viable robot application has become highly important. While a growing body of research has acknowledged that the integration of an agile development methodology with user-centered design (UCD) provides advantages for both organizations and end users, integrating UCD in an agile methodology has been a challenging endeavor. The present paper illustrates a user-centered agile approach that integrates user perspectives through formative usability testing during an agile development process of a robot application and thus differentiates from most robot application evaluations, which conduct summative usability testing (i.e., they quantitatively test goal achievement after technological developments). Through an active involvement of organization and end users, we were able to develop a social robot application that is both useful and usable. Therefore, the illustrated approach is particularly suitable for developing real-world robot applications while ensuring the desired high level of usability.

    Social robots in organizational contexts: The role of culture and future research needs
    (Springer, 2020) Schmiedel, Theresa; Jäger, Janine; Zhong, Jia; Dornberger, Rolf [in: New trends in business information systems and technology. Digital innovation and digital business transformation]
    The integration of social robots in organizations is on the rise. In the future, an increase in the application of physically embodied robots who socially interact and collaborate with humans is expected. In this chapter, we outline the organizational contexts in which current research examines social robots and point out cultural challenges regarding their implementation in the workplace. We suggest that the successful integration of social robots in organizations requires a cultural fit between values embedded in social robots and values lived in the organizational context in which the robot is deployed. In addition, we propose an agenda for future research that addresses the associated cultural challenges of introducing social robots into organizational contexts.

    Topic modeling as a strategy of inquiry in organizational research: a tutorial with an application example on organizational culture
    (SAGE, 2019) Schmiedel, Theresa; Müller, Oliver; Brocke, Jan vom [in: Organizational Research Methods]
    Research has emphasized the limitations of qualitative and quantitative approaches to studying organizational phenomena. For example, in-depth interviews are resource-intensive, while questionnaires with closed-ended questions can only measure predefined constructs. With the recent availability of large textual data sets and increased computational power, text mining has become an attractive method that has the potential to mitigate some of these limitations. Thus, we suggest applying topic modeling, a specific text mining technique, as a new and complementary strategy of inquiry to study organizational phenomena. In particular, we outline the potentials of structural topic modeling for organizational research and provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to apply it. Our application example builds on 428,492 reviews of Fortune 500 companies from the online platform Glassdoor, on which employees can evaluate organizations. We demonstrate how structural topic models allow to inductively identify topics that matter to employees and quantify their relationship with employees’ perception of organizational culture. We discuss the advantages and limitations of topic modeling as a research method and outline how future research can apply the technique to study organizational phenomena.

    The relation between BPM culture, BPM methods, and process performance: evidence from quantitative field studies
    (Elsevier, 2019) Schmiedel, Theresa; Recker, Jan; Brocke, Jan vom [in: Information & Management]
    Business process management (BPM) research conceptualizes BPM culture as a type of organizational culture that supports BPM. No quantitative fieldwork has so far examined how such a supporting role manifests itself. We study the relationship between BPM culture, BPM methods, and process performance empirically. Our analysis of multiple survey data sets from a total of 581 practitioners of multiple industries suggests that BPM methods indirectly contribute to process performance by establishing a BPM culture. This finding updates the prevalent assumption that the correct application of methods yields direct performance benefits. We discuss several implications for theory and practice.

    Investigating the effects of gaze behavior on the perceived delay of a robot's response
    (2019) Zhong, Jia; Schmiedel, Theresa; Dornberger, Rolf; Salichs, Miguel A.; Ge, Shuzhi Sam; Ivanova Barakova, Emilia; Cabibihan, John-John; Wagner, Alan R.; Castro-González, Álvaro; He, Hongsheng [in: Social Robotics. 11th International Conference, ICSR 2019, Madrid, Spain, November 26-29, 2019, proceedings]
    Slow responses of social robots cause user frustration in human robot communication. This paper investigates how far the gaze behavior of a robot, meaning the way the robot looks at its conversation partner, influences the perceived delay of a robot’s response in human-robot conversations. To enhance a natural conversation pattern, a gaze behavior was designed and implemented into a humanoid robot. A within-subject experiment involving 31 test subjects was designed with two conditions (with and without gaze behavior). The results generally show a positive correlation between the gaze behavior that the robot exhibits and the perceived responsiveness of the robot (in the condition with gaze behavior). However, the perceived responsiveness is the same in both conditions. One reason for this finding may be that the response time of the robot might have been generally too short to identify an effect in the experi mental setting. Future research can directly build on our research to assess the relation between gaze behavior and perceived responsiveness in further detail and draw upon the finding that gaze behavior generally plays an important role with regard to the perceived responsiveness of a robot. Robot designers can also build on our research and consider both gaze behavior and additional factors to address a perceived delay in a robot’s response.

    Understanding the nature of processes: an information-processing perspective
    (Emerald, 2018) Zelt, Sarah; Schmiedel, Theresa; Brocke, Jan vom [in: Business Process Management Journal]
    Purpose – While researchers and practitioners agree on the importance to adapt business process management (BPM) practices to the nature of processes, the authors observe a lack of research on how to most meaningfully distinguish processes in order to apply context-specific BPM practices that increase process efficiency and effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to systematically analyze the nature of processes as one contextual factor for BPM. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a literature review, the authors systematically derive process dimensions that describe the nature of processes and apply an information-processing perspective to the process level as a theoretical lens through which to analyze and structure these process dimensions. Findings – The authors identified 36 dimensions used to describe process differences that can be consolidated into five generic dimensions based on an information-processing perspective: interdependence of process participants, differentiation of process participants, differentiation of process participants, process analyzability, variability, and importance.
