Abstract: A high rate of work-related accidents or diseases around the world not only threatens the health and wellbeing of employees, but also causes a considerable annual economic burden for organizations. One promising use of information technology would therefore be the management and prevention of occupational accidents and employee absenteeism. Although some companies are starting to introduce digital occupational health initiatives, there is scarce evidence about the inhibiting factors which may discourage the wide adoption of such systems in the workforce. This paper presents qualitative and quantitative data of an exploratory study, which delves into the perceptions of employees towards the use of digital occupational health systems. Our results show that employees are usually aware of the enhanced possibilities for managing and improving their health and wellbeing through such corporate initiatives. However, privacy concerns and the additional mental pressure caused by such systems, significantly diminishes an employee’s willingness to adopt them. Collapse

Abstract: Self -tracking, or the desire to quantify one's own behaviour by means of personal information systems, has developed from a niche activity for early adopters to a mass phenomenon. Despite its increasing spread in society, however, little is known about the drivers of technology adoption and use in this specific domain. Addressing this gap, the research-in-progress at hand aims to (1) theorize on the role of self-tracking attitudes -defined as specific consumer attitudes in the self-tracking context, and (2) present a research plan with the goal of developing a self-report scale capable to measure selftracking attitudes. We present the results of a first literature review and of 24 explorative expert interviews conducted to identify relevant cognitive, affective and conative concepts related to self-tracking attitudes. The results constitute a first step to develop a measurement scale that aims to contribute to adoption research and the development of successful self-tracking systems. Collapse
