Connected to the blog post above, we published a journal paper with the deeper insights regarding our experiment on the use of people analytics in managerial decision making, and how this connects to perceptions of employees.

How are companies using algorithm-based management and performance tracking, and how do workers perceive them? What are the challenges for works councils and trade unions?

I find it highly questionable when manufacturers of or other tools talk about how many users they have. Are employees, who become the subject of algorithmic evaluation, really users? I don't think so. When the police use software to "predict" crimes, no one would claim that the supposed "criminals" are users of the software. Yet, it's the same concept.

#Efficiency #AlgorithmicManagement #AI #HumanRights: "[R]esearchers from MIT find that focusing solely on efficiency can lower employee satisfaction, wellbeing, and performance in the long-run by treating workers like “cogs in a machine” or triggering employees to continue working to the point of exhaustion.

As Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), a coalition of faith-based and values-based investors, and OpenMIC, a nonprofit focused on responsible use of digital technologies, explain in their new report, Dehumanization, Discrimination and Deskilling: The Impact of Digital Tech on Low-Wage Workers, a critical element of algorithmic management systems is the monitoring and surveillance of workers in violation of their human rights. More specifically, the report outlines a number of human rights impacted by digital technologies, including right to privacy (Article 12 in the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights) and occupational safety and health (ILO Convention 155 in 1981 and 187 in 2006).

Worker well-being, satisfaction, and human rights should matter to all investors. When algorithmic management systems detract from them, the resulting higher worker turnover, higher injury rates, increasing regulatory fines and sanctions, and increasing regulation can materially dampen long-term value creation."

This is because these can suffer in the workplace because the use of algorithmic systems not only creates a strong information gap, but also because it is sometimes no longer clear why and how decisions - including negative ones - are made.
Our study suggests that employees perceive their superiors as more unfair, if they suspect that an algorithmic system was involved. You can read the whole study here: researchgate.net/publication/3
