Three publications at the ICIS!

This year, Professor Mirbabaie is present at the ICIS with three research papers.

Paper 1 deals with digital nomadism. With flexibility being an increasingly common aspect of many individuals’ career decisions and remote work more widely accepted, ‘digital nomadism’ has gained popularity. Thus, in this paper, Professor Mirbabaie, Marie Langer, and Julian Marx explore to what extent the label ‘digital nomadism’ is used and perceived as an employer branding signal in corporate work. Qualitative interviews indicate nomadic work is perceived as an attractive signal, though employers tend to use it internally to retain talent rather than to attract it externally. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework using signalling theory to put forth a notion of digital nomadism as an employer branding signal for talent attraction and retention.
