This research describes learning activities and techniques that improve deep and critical thinking among students. Critical thinking is considered an ultimate goal in MIS education; and learners who reach critical thinking level can achieve the highest learning goals and outcomes. Critical thinking and English communication are considered the two most essential competencies in the 21st century. Therefore, universities have invested significantly in understanding, promoting, and delivering critical thinking in education. Moreover, the learning and education research has invested extensively in critical thinking. In this research, we present and discuss seven learning activities and techniques that initiate deep thinking and promote critical thinking in teaching and learning in order to achieve high level of quality learning. The main focus of this work is in the higher education setting at the level of colleges and universities. We discuss and explain seven learning activities, with examples and tools that will help increase the level of thinking and improve higher order thinking and critical analysis. The presented techniques and examples can be easily applied and adapted into any discipline to help increase and improve higher order thinking among the learners. The preliminary evaluation results are very encouraging.

Considerable IT research has examined issues pertaining to IT careers and outcomes. Prominent among this stream of research are studies that have examined IT human capital endowments as determinants of IT career success and mobility patterns of IT professionals as they traverse career paths. According to Joseph, Boh, Ang and Slaughter's analysis of 500 IT professionals drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey for Youth 1979 cohort dataset, IT career paths are more diverse than the traditional view of technical vs managerial career paths. The career histories of IT professionals revealed three distinct career paths i.e. IT careers, Professional Labor Market (PLM) and Secondary Labor Market (SLM). IT professionals who took the IT and PLM career paths enjoyed more career success in terms of pay received relative to those who took the SLM route.

Among the many aspects of IT personnel studied by the IS research community, individual voluntary IT turnover is one of the most-examined phenomena. However, research into this phenomenon concentrates mainly on antecedents and cognitive precursors such as turnover intention. Antecedents are essential to understanding the turnover of IT personnel, but they do not represent the complete landscape of IT turnover research. The consequences of individual voluntary IT turnover, an important topic, have received too little attention from the IS community. I investigate this by conducting a multidisciplinary literature review of individual voluntary turnover consequences of IT personnel. My review reveals that only 8 of 130 IT turnover studies consider IT turnover consequences, concentrated primarily on software project management. I present a taxonomy of individual voluntary IT turnover consequences as a starting point for structured research on the consequences of individual voluntary IT turnover.

Social media applications and services have become popular over the years and organizations are increasingly exploiting social media related services in business functions. Human resource recruiting is one such function, which has stepped into a new era of social recruitments. Talent sourcing plays a major role in any organization as recruiting competent people with right skills for right positions leads organizations to achieve their vision, mission, and objectives. Therefore, it is important for organizations to adopt innovative recruitment techniques. As organizations are increasingly exploiting social networks for recruitment, it is important to research and evaluate how useful social networks are as a recruitment tool and how it can be used effectively. The main objective of this study was to evaluate social networks as a recruitment tool for HR professionals and identify effective uses of social networks for recruitments. The research shows that process efficiency, reachability and passive talent attraction can be identified as effective uses of social networks for recruitment.

This paper is part of the SIGMIS CPR doctoral consortium, summarizing a dissertation in progress. This dissertation explores how youth, teenagers in particular, search for, evaluate, and create exercise and nutrition information they interact with via social media. This dissertation also employs an Intersectionality lens to examine the ways in which the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and socio-economic status relate to the ways in which teens make decisions about information online.

The purpose of this panel is to explore the potential for emerging technology to engender social change. Technology is transformative, and has already seen innovative application in business and industry, and of course in relation to society and social networking. We will discuss the current state of 'emerging technology', and several perspectives of considerations with emerging technologies and society. We will describe some current applications of emerging technology in a range of fields, in order to identify the potential for emerging technology to support social change. Our goal is to open discussions about opportunities for emerging technology, and practical applications or approaches to how these opportunities can be exploited.

The effects of project failure on IT professionals have not received much attention in IT research. A failed project evokes negative emotions and therefore could trigger turnover, which has negative influences from the perspective of IT human resource management. However, the failure of IT projects could also have positive influences as professionals might learn from the failed project. This paper focuses on analyzing this dual-sided effect of project failure on IT professionals. We develop hypotheses that will be tested with a large data set from an IT service provider in future research. We expect to contribute to theory by analyzing whether project failure triggers turnover and by analyzing whether IT professionals learn from failed projects and perform better in the future.

Above all, information systems (IS) professionals must be effective communicators. After all, a core part of the job is to translate business needs into system requirements. Conveying information in the right form is essential. Effective IS professionals have refined social cognitive abilities. They consider their audience and tailor the content of their messages accordingly. This concept is called audience awareness. It is a manifestation of social cognition and a hallmark of strong communicators. Although the concept of audience awareness has been discussed in other contexts, it has never been used within the IS field. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual definition of audience awareness so that it can be used for IS personnel research. The definition is derived inductively using a content-analytical approach. The definition is further refined and validated using an expert panel. Implications and future research are also discussed.

A. Morgan, Jeria L. Quesenberry, Sven Laumer, Christina N. Outlay
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the annual Computers and People Research Conference -- ACM SIGMIS CPR 2016. For more than 50 years, ACM SIGMIS CPR has engaged the academic and practitioner communities in understanding the issues related to the information technology (IT) workforce. Increasingly, IT empowers organizations and communities to improve the world around them through positive connection, interaction, and presence. The ways that we engage, understand and communicate around major events in communities, on the national landscape, and in the media has solidified a legitimate role for technology for years to come. As a result, we selected the conference theme of organizational and social movements enabled by IT. The papers, posters and panels within the proceedings address themes related to the recruitment, retention and turnover of IT professionals, demand for their skills and talents, their readiness for the workplace, and topics in IS education and management. This year, several papers, posters and panels specifically focus on organizational and social movements themes related to smart cities, the sharing economy, making Black lives matter, social media collaboration in virtual teams and emerging technologies. We also encourage attendees to attend the keynote presentation entitled "Organizational Design" by Dr. Scott Bernard who currently serves as the U.S. Federal Chief Enterprise Architect at the Office of Management and Budget within the Executive Office of the President. His valuable and insightful talk will guide us to a better understanding of a holistic enterprise architecture framework. We hope these proceedings serve as a valuable reference for computer and people researchers and practitioners in the coming years.
