Managing Culture in the E-Workplace: The Practitioners' Perspectives. Innovative Session.
Sleezer, Catherine Marie; McCullough, Cathy Bolton; Cude, Roger L.
A group of human resource development (HRD) practitioners participated in an innovative session on managing culture in the e-workplace. The session objectives were as follows: (1) bring cultural patterns of the e-workplace to the forefront; (2) discuss the impact of culture on performance improvement in the e-workplace; and (3) share resources for stimulating change in the way people within e-organizations work. The participants, who worked in small groups of six HRD practitioners each, used Senge's Iceberg Model as a lens for viewing culture in their own organizations. They also engaged in reflection and dialogue about responses to the information technology (IT) challenges in their various organizations, resources for addressing the challenges more effectively, and needed research. The innovative session consisted of four phases as follows: (1) a brief introduction to the topic and the Iceberg Model; (2) application of the Iceberg Model to identify IT events and patterns of IT events and discover the commonalities among events and patterns of events across organizations; (3) replication of phase 2 but with a focus on systemic structures and mental models; and (4) an all-group discussion about insights gained from the first three phases and an overview of available resources and research on managing culture in the e-workplace.
