TY - JOUR T1 - Values and Practices behind Collaborative Childcare in Knowledge-based Organizations JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2020 A1 - Gianluca Schiavo A1 - Chiara Leonardi A1 - Massimo Zancanaro KW - Collaborative workplace practices KW - Employee participation KW - Grounded design. KW - Sharing networks KW - Work-life balance AB - New forms of socializing care that leverage community networks and are based on alternative social arrangements are being experimented with in different grassroots contexts. They are being framed as innovative practices to facilitate the integration of professional and caring responsibilities. In this changing landscape, the private sector might benefit from new forms of welfare policies and family-friendly practices that are based on the co-participation of employees, and encouraged by public policies targeting workplace solutions for childcare. This paper intends to contribute to the ongoing debate on socio-technical innovation in management by exploring how collaborative childcare services might be deployed in workplace settings. At the same time, it investigates the role of digital technology in facilitating employees' engagement and participation.
