Paper Abstract:
|
The use of new information technology impacts individuals as well as the whole organization. Between genders, there
seems to be some differences towards approaches into use of information technology. This paper illuminates some
preliminary findings from an ongoing study about impacts of the new educational technology in educational organization
and individual work. Main question in this article is how do approaches toward technology differ between genders and
how crucial are the differences? Empirical findings are discussed and analyzed using methodology provided by grounded
theory. In this article similarities and differences with previous theory are discussed. Findings do suggest that there seems
to be some differences in a way how men and women use technology and for what purpose. |
