#PhD #Sociology #Netherlands PhD candidate for the project, "Social Responsibility in New Digital Occupations" Project context: Understanding the role of occupations in addressing the social responsibilities and consequences of digital technologies. We live in an era of “increasingly pervasive digital technologies, which penetrate deeply into the very core of the products, services, and operations of many organizations and radically change the nature of product and service innovations. For society, digital technologies potentially also entail unintended and/or undesirable consequences, which researchers work to understand. However, the mid-level actors (occupations) involved in leading the development of digital technologies, and how they interpret and act on the social consequences of these technologies, is relatively understudied. For example, whether membership in an occupation affords individuals’ norms and values that informally govern ethical product development, such as attending to diversity in software teams, testing software for bias, or considering the broader and societal outcomes when developing a feature. A focus on the role of mid-level organizational actors and the occupations to which they belong will be crucial for understanding whether organizations can address the social consequences of digital technologies.
