Purpose The purpose of this study is to clarify the conceptualizations of mandatory and reward that have come into focus in the definition of digital shadow work. And explore how users in a shared services environment view cost and coercion from the perspective of digital shadow work. Design/methodology/approach We conducted one-on-one interviews with 4 participants, with each interview being an average of 25 minutes. Based on literature review, stakeholder observation, and interviews on digital shadow work so far, very objective results can be derived through triangulation based on the basis of multiple sources. Findings According to the results of the preliminary study, there are some rewards for each type of digital shadow work, but time saving and service convenience are considered more than financial rewards. Unfair demands in determining whether to implement them in consideration of the difficulty and expected benefits of the demanding digital work can cause dissatisfaction with the service. Academic implications and future research directions are also discussed.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the perspectives of gender and role in the family for nurses' work-family balance. Method: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 married nurses having children, who were selected through convenience sampling and purposive sampling from November 1, 2011 to January 20, 2012. The data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. Results: The common themes resulted from data analysis included following traditional gender roles, giving up any expectation of spouse's role, coordinating the division of family roles, and refusing to stick to gender roles. The age of nurse, family background of husband, and social-economic contexts were essential to explain the couple dynamics. Conclusions: Nurses who received private family support were stably leading a work-family balance, yet unable to change the gender structure of spouse for the work-family balance. On the other hand, young nurses who were unable to get any support, had a tendency of cooperating with their spouses and adopting more negotiable and pragmatic approach to work-family balance.

This paper presents an implementation of a gesture recognition platform that can be used in a factory workplaces. The platform consists of signages that display worker's job orders and a control center that is used to manage work orders for factory workers. Each worker does not need to bring work order documents and can browse the assigned work orders on the signage at his/her workplace. The contents of signage can be controlled by worker's hand and arm gestures. Gestures are extracted from body movement tracked by 3D depth camera and converted to the commandsthat control displayed content of the signage. Using the control center, the factory manager can assign tasks to each worker, upload work order documents to the system, and see each worker's progress. The implementation has been applied experimentally to a machining factory workplace. This flatform provides convenience for factory workers when they are working at workplaces, improves security of techincal documents, but can also be used to build smart factories.
