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.
