Öğe Examining the impact of social technologies on empowerment and economic development(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016) Nord, Jeretta Horn; Lee, Tzong-Ru (Jiun-Shen); Cetin, Fatih; Atay, Ozlem; Paliszkiewicz, JoannaGlobally, many women continue to face economic and technological challenges. To complicate matters, more than half of the population has no access to the internet. These issues have drawn international attention leading to global efforts by U.S. tech giants to provide world-wide access to the internet. Do social technologies play into the equation of economic development and empowerment for women? This paper reports results from studies conducted in Taiwan and Turkey regarding the use of five different social technologies platforms. Facebook-the largest social network worldwide-also is the most widely used platform in Taiwan and Turkey according to this research. Differences appeared between the two countries among the usage of other social platforms studied including Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+. Implications of this data-and data from other countries under study by the authors-will provide answers to women's empowerment and economic development in both developing and developed countries.

The research sample consisted of 969 participants (137 from Georgia, 105 from Poland, 130 from Romania, 152 from Slovenia, 102 from Spain, 123 from Taiwan, 120 from Turkey, and 100 from the United States). Qualitative data analysis was used for exploring participants' perspectives among different cultures. The results showed that there were numerous differences among the respondents regarding their perceptions of Information and Communication Technologies, empowerment, and success. Positive experiences of ICTs were primarily related to simplifying communication and enabling easy access to information and methods for sharing it, while negative experiences were typically associated with privacy issues. The success of using ICTs was similarly related to the ability to increase awareness and simplify communication, both of which are necessary for women to reach specified goals and achieve success in the workplace.Öğe THE ROLE OF SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES IN WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT PERCEPTION An international comparison(Routledge, 2021) Madra-Sawicka, Magdalena; Paliszkiewicz, Joanna; Nord, Jeretta Horn; Cetin, Fatih[Abstract Not Available]
