Call for Chapter Proposals - Information Technology in Organisations and
Societies: Multidisciplinary Perspectives from AI to Technostress
Book Title:
Information Technology in Organisations and Societies: Multidisciplinary
Perspectives from AI to Technostress
Book Editors:

Introduction:
Information technology (IT) uses have been regarded as a positive
phenomenon which always generates desirable outcomes. For instance,
individuals use IT for multiple utilitarian and hedonic purposes;
organisations adopt cutting-edge technology to enhance business
operations; and governments initiate to develop a digitally enabled and
sustainable economy and smart city.
Recent years, however, have witnessed increasing negative impacts on
individuals, organisations, and societies resulted from IT uses.
Specifically, there have been increasingly reported cases of
cyberbullying and technology addiction on individual users;
organisations have experienced losses in productivity and assets due to
technostress and various forms of cyberdeviance in the workplace; and
the rapid advancement of IT has created the digital divide among users
across generations. Emerging and increasing research has begun to reveal
the alarming ways in which IT uses negatively affect individuals,
organisations, and societies.
Goals:
The book, Information Technology in Organisations and Societies:
Multidisciplinary Perspectives from AI to Technostress, aims at
providing an impressive list of multidisciplinary and cutting-edge
research on both the positive and negative aspects of IT use vis-à-vis
individuals, organisations, and societies. The book endeavours to
provide a comprehensive overview of the positive aspects and outcomes of
digitisation as well as on the potential harms induced or exacerbated by
IT uses. Furthermore, the text aims at providing innovative discussions
on strengthening the potential benefits of IT uses while mitigating its
potential drawbacks.
Possible Topic Areas:
The scope of the present call is broad. All topics regarding the
positive and negative uses of IT across the individual, organisational,
