July 2021<\/time><\/div>\n\n<p><b>Challenge<\/b><br>Collaboration tools play an increasingly significant role in mediating communication and visibility (both in terms of being physically seen and seen worthy) between actors. Mainly among information workers whose jobs are creating, manipulating, or analysing information. Meetings and working synchronously with colleagues mostly happened through video conference software. Research shows that many employees try to justify the increased autonomy provided by remote work by increasing their visibility to prove their worthiness for the organisation. Quite frankly, in term of visibility as being physically seen, empirical evidence said that not all people are comfortable turning their camera on during a meeting. Therefore, this research questioned how collaboration tools help workers to increase visibility when working remotely.<\/p>\n<p><b>Aim<\/b><br>This study aims to understand how remote knowledge workers use collaboration tools to assert their visibility to reduce the need for face-to-face interaction.<\/p>\n<p><b>Approach<\/b><br>This study will employ case studies of virtual collaboration settings between knowledge workers across different positions within selected companies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Contribution<\/b><br>With the increasing amount of remote work practices, the output of this study hopes to help organisations consider the right mix between remote work and in-office work in implementing the hybrid work, especially by looking at how collaboration tools allow new ways of working.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bayu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1016\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bayu-1.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?attachment_id=1016\" class=\"wp-image-1016\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bayu-1.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bayu-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Bayu Nuswantoro<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/alex-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1384\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/alex-1.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?attachment_id=1384\" class=\"wp-image-1384\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/alex-1.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/alex-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?p=1737\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Prof Alex Richter<\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"318\" height=\"322\" src=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Kai-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1058\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Kai-1.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?attachment_id=1058\" class=\"wp-image-1058\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Kai-1.png 318w, http:\/\/wi2.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Kai-1-296x300.png 296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?p=940\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Prof Kai Riemer<\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wi2.institute\/?tag=collaboration\" rel=\"tag\">Collaboration<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChallengeCollaboration tools play an increasingly significant role in mediating communication and visibility (both in terms of being physically seen and seen worthy) between actors.
