Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)
Mini track: Adoption and Diffusion of Ambivalent Information Technologies
Description of the Mini track:
Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are technologies that have the
potential to both benefit and harm individuals, organizations, or society.
Ambivalent IT includes a wide range of IT, such as smartphones, emails,
social media technologies, wearables devices, big data technologies and
artificial intelligence that despite providing significant benefits can
overload individuals, undermine their sense of autonomy, cause security,
privacy intrusion, or discrimination issues among others. In this way,
ambivalent IT can elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different behaviors
and outcomes for adopters and users. Accordingly, this mini track call for
further research on the antecedents, processes/mechanisms, outcomes, and
issues/challenges related to adoption and use of ambivalent IT and the
potential impacts on various stakeholders (e.g. users, organizations, or
society). It also invites research that provides suggestions to avoid or
remedy the dark side and promote the bright side of ambivalent IT use.
