Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT)
Mini-track: Adoption and Use of Ambivalent Information
Technologies
Description of the Mini-track:
Ambivalent Information Technologies (IT) are perceived as having
the potential to both benefit and harm users and organizations,
rendering them a double-edged sword. Ambivalent IT comprises a
wide range of IT, such as smartphones that can be both beneficial
and harmful for the users, work emails that despite their
flexibility and connectivity benefits can interrupt workflow,
wearables and analytic technologies that despite conveying
real-time information can overload users and undermine their sense
of autonomy, and access control tools with benefits that can come
at the cost of security and privacy intrusions. Therefore,
ambivalent IT can elicit mixed attitudes and markedly different
behaviors and outcomes for adopters and users. Currently, there is
a paucity of research in the IS literature to cover this research
area. This mini-track hosts research on antecedents, processes,
and issues/challenges regarding adoption and use of ambivalent IT
and the potential impacts for individuals, groups, organizations,
and society.
