Purpose – IPv6 is the replacement for the internet's incumbent protocol, IPv4. IPv6 adoption is required to allow the internet to continue to grow; however, there has been almost no uptake since its standardization in the late 1990s. This paper seeks to explain how this non-...

Structured cabling is that which is embedded within a building and connects network devices around the building together. Such cabling is typically enclosed within cable ducts in a building's ceiling space, and runs through walls and risers between floors. The backbone connects ...

The advent of social networking websites presents further opportunities for criminals to obtain information for use in identity theft, cyber-stalking, and worse activities. This paper presents exploratory research investigating why users of social networking websites willingly disclose ...

Structured cabling is the network infrastructure embedded within a building?s structure. Installing appropriate cable types is important, as changes are costly and disruptive. This study investigates trends in structured cable infrastructure in Australia. Results suggest that many of the ...

Collaborative technology skills are valuable both in the workforce and for students at college or university. Considerable research into the use of collaborative technology between students and lecturers or teachers has been conducted, yet very little is known about how students ...

Structured cabling is the network infrastructure embedded within a building's structure, typically within ceilings, walls, and risers between floors. Installation of such infrastructure is costly and disruptive; thus, installing appropriate cable types is especially important. Structured ...

Self and identity are not only cornerstones of our well-being; they are practically the foundation of our existence. Socially constructed, they cannot develop in isolation. The chapter reports on a study which combined quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate the ...

Selection of the cabling media to be used is often difficult, and installation of vertical and horizontal structured cabling is costly and disruptive. Bandwidth, distance requirements, immunity to interference, security, installation disruption and future technology should all be ...

Improvements in ICTs lead to increasingly high bandwidth becoming widely available, allowing large volumes of data to be moved easily over vast distances. CEOs, CIOs, CFOs and managers in organisations can access increasingly large volumes of data to provide a knowledge ...

PurposeBring your own device (BYOD) refers to employees utilizing their personal mobile devices to perform work tasks. Drawing on the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and the task-technology fit (TTF) model, the purpose of this paper is to develop a model that explains how BYOD affects employee well-being (through job satisfaction), job performance self-assessment, and organizational commitment through perceived job autonomy, perceived workload and TTF.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data from 400 full-time employees in different industry sectors in Mauritius were used to test a model containing 13 hypotheses using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.FindingsThe SEM results support the hypothesized model. Findings indicate that BYOD indirectly affects job satisfaction, job performance and organizational commitment via job demands (perceived workload), job resources (perceived job autonomy) and TTF. Further, job resources influences job demands while TTF...
