CALL FOR PAPERS
Minitrack: DARK SIDES OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY USE
Track: Organizational Systems and Technology
HICSS-56 (Jan 3-6, 2023)
Information technology (IT) use has typically been viewed as
beneficial. Yet, recent studies and observations have revealed
worrying evidence that IT use may also be hiding potentially
serious “dark sides.” In other words, IT use may lead to a host of
negative consequences with varying degrees of severity for
individuals, employees, families, firms and societies.
This minitrack welcomes theoretical and empirical papers examining
negative consequences of IT use and implementation in
organizations and societies, and solutions to these issues. The
objective of this minitrack is to focus not only on the
antecedents, development processes, and consequence of numerous
phenomena related to the unexpected negative effects of IT use,
but also on potential strategies and techniques for behavioral and
technological interventions. We seek, based on this forum of
discussion, to provide practitioners (e.g., IT developers,
managers, psychologists, and policy makers) in a multitude of
contexts with a deeper understanding of the potential consequences
regarding the dark sides of IT use. Further, we hope these studies
help to shape guidelines for designing and implementing
organizational and hedonic IT while minimizing the potential
negative consequences of IT use.
Submitted papers might focus on, but are not limited to, some of
the following themes related to potential dark sides of IT use. We
acknowledge that over time new “dark side of IT” phenomena will
emerge, and we are hence open to topics that may extend this list.
* Problematic IS use behaviors
* IT-related addictions, misuse and abuse
* Algorithmic bias, fairness and aversion
* Cyber loafing
* Cyber bullying
* Dark sides of artificial intelligence and/or robots
* Dark sides of big data
* Dark sides of digital assistants and wearable devices
* Deceptive computer-mediated communication
* Fake news
* Disrupted work-life balance
* IT interruptions
* Technostress
* Impulsive use of IT
* Adverse physiological effects of IT use
Submissions are welcome and encouraged from a variety of
theoretical foundations (e.g., information systems, psychology,
cognitive science, decision sciences, sociology, social networks,
organizational behavior, neuroscience, computer science, and
informatics) which might advance our knowledge of the antecedents,
processes, interventions and consequences of the dark sides of IT
use. This minitrack invites relevant and rigorous studies without
restriction for the methodologies used, units of analyses and
levels of theorization.
