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 increasing 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.
