“…Due to the rapid expansion of higher education in China [53] and its positive impacts on urbanization [54], Chinese residents' acceptance and support of surveillance are expected to increase in the foreseeable future. Yet, technical measures and legal regulations that aim at privacy protection [20] are still in need of attention and efforts.…”

“…On the other hand, the extensive applications of video surveillance systems arise privacy concerns, particularly in the context of smart cities where surveillance is pervasive [16][17][18][19]. Aside from technical measures and legal regulations that secure privacy [20], personal acceptance and support for surveillance is recognized as another important dimension that affects the adoption of any surveillance [21] or infrastructure [22]. In addition, behavioral preferences are also worth investigating during implementation of video surveillance systems, as they can serve as a necessary supplement to the attitudes towards these systems.…”

Can Video Surveillance Systems Promote the Perception of Safety? Evidence from Surveys on Residents in Beijing, China

et al. 2019

Ubiquitous utilization of video surveillance systems is supposed to promote safety, yet whether these systems improve the residents’ perception of safety is unknown. Moreover, the factors that affect the perception of safety are also unclear. We seek to fill these knowledge gaps via a survey-based study, which aims at evaluating the impact of video surveillance systems on perceived safety from crimes and accidents and on behavioral preferences, as well as the attitudes towards such systems. A total of 1080 residents in Beijing, China are validly surveyed, and the surveys returned are exploited for univariate analysis and regression analysis. The analysis results indicate that female respondents are more accustomed to adopt video surveillance systems, as they feel safer and more comfortable with the existence of surveillance systems. Higher levels of education, greater length of residency, and richer knowledge of surveillance systems tend to increase the perception of safety, while age and monthly income act negatively. The effects of these factors should be considered during the implementation of video surveillance systems and recommendations are given to facilitate the adoption of such systems.

“…The online self, saturated by multiple social demands, can be even more problematic because of the recent push for notionally “real” representations online (Haimson and Hoffmann, 2016; Marwick, 2013; Van der Nagel and Frith, 2015). The use of verifiable names on different platforms might be regarded as representing a situation of “context collapse” (Marwick and Boyd, 2011). Unlike in offline situations, it can be difficult for individuals to vary identity presentations, something that is often required for different environments or audiences (Boyd, 2002), which can lead to further blurring between, for instance, professional and private spheres online.…”

“…Digital cultures, long heralded as spaces of belonging and self-expression, have increasingly been used and appropriated by corporations, extending their control to private spheres (Reed, 2018). In this new world, public institutions often exploit the wealth of available data to surveil, evaluate and control the online identities of employees and other stakeholders (Martínez-Béjar and Brändle, 2018).…”

The construction, performance, and regulation of identities in the online world have deep implications for individuals, organizations, and society, particularly as digital technologies become increasingly omnipresent in our daily lives. In the last decades, analyses of online identities’ processes have moved from the exploration of identity play, through identity performance, toward a growing identity regulation through algorithmic management and the monetization of personal data. Despite a significant tradition of critical management and organization studies literature on identity, online identities have to date received only scant attention. This Special Issue explores what critical management and organization studies can contribute to research on online identities. Drawing on empirical analysis of virtual forums, social media, and platforms, the six papers included here highlight the struggles that accompany identity processes in the online environment and their implications for workers, activists, and other organized selves. In this introduction, we contextualize these contributions with reference to online identities studies and metaphors of the internet as a place, a tool, and a way of being. We comment on the contributions they make relating to the role of the body, and individual and collective dynamics in online identities processes. Following this, we propose critical ways forward concerning new forms of digital work, multiphrenic context collapse, and online references and sources of identity. We invite researchers to not only critically explore but also to engage with this brave new world that increasingly shapes our individual and collective selves.
