Empathy, defined as the ability to understand and share others' perspectives and emotions, is essential in software engineering (SE), where developers often collaborate with diverse stakeholders. It is also considered as a vital competency in many professional fields such as medicine, healthcare, nursing, animal science, education, marketing, and project management. Despite its importance, empathy remains under-researched in SE. To further explore this, we conducted a socio-technical grounded theory (STGT) study through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 22 software developers and stakeholders. Our study explored the role of empathy in SE and how SE activities and processes can be improved by considering empathy. Through applying the systematic steps of STGT data analysis and theory development, we developed a theory that explains the role of empathy in SE. Our theory details the contexts in which empathy arises, the conditions that shape it, the causes and consequences of its presence and absence. We also identified contingencies for enhancing empathy or overcoming barriers to its expression. Our findings provide practical implications for SE practitioners and researchers, offering a deeper understanding of how to effectively integrate empathy into SE processes.
Welcome to the website of the International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME) 2025 conference. We are looking forward to providing a great conference experience in New Zealand. City of Sails, Auckland, New Zealand As New Zealand’s largest city, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is the country’s financial and economic powerhouse, and the gateway to the rest of the country. With strong university, start up and innovation networks, it’s a playground for new ideas and connections. A vibrant, multicultural city, Auckland offers the best of urban sophistication and natural beaut ...
Can we say that Brazil is one of the leading countries in research on Human Aspects in Software Engineering with so many papers published at CHASE?
CHASE is the premier venue for research on cooperative and human aspects of software engineering. Since 2008, the CHASE conference has provided a forum to discuss research results long before “human values” started to draw attention in the mainstream software engineering community, including empirical findings, theoretical models, and research methods and tools for studying human and cooperative aspects in software engineering. CHASE seeks to bring together academic and practitioner communities interested in this area. Now in its 18th edition, CHASE 2025 will be co-located with the Interna ...
