HICSS-52 Call for papers for the minitrack on:
"SOCIAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES IN COLLABORATION
RESEARCH"
Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)
Maui - January 8-11, 2019
Papers are invited for the minitrack on "Social &
Psychological Perspectives in Collaboration Research" as part of
the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii
International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
One of the major assets of any organization is its people.
Understanding of the people and their social, psychological,
cultural, and emotional environment helps organizations develop
systems and processes that can lead to a productive workplace.
Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition
have all created an environment in which an understanding of
people is the critical link that is needed in order to survive and
thrive in today's competitive environment.
Technology supported collaboration and communication between
individuals entails complex social and psychological situations.
An understanding of social and psychological aspects of
collaboration is essential to creating and sustaining productive
work environments. The use of collaboration technologies and
social media and the consequences of such use are framed by the
psychological and social factors concerning the users and their
work environment. It is important to understand these factors to
successfully facilitate the sustained implementation and use of
these technologies. Further, knowledge of the psycho-social
aspects of technology-supported collaboration and communication
also assists in detecting, avoiding, and effectively resolving the
issues that may arise from using such technologies.
This minitrack provides one of the key international platforms to
host research with a social/psychological perspective on studying
issues related to the dynamic interplay between people, their
environment, and the collaboration and social technologies they
use. Examples of areas relevant to the minitrack include but are
not limited to:
1. Personality, behavioral, and social factors related to
communication and collaboration groups, crowds, and organizations
2. Social and psychological effects of using collaboration systems
3. Attractions and affiliations in groups and crowds arising from
use of social networks
4. Team/group/crowd psychology and use of communication
technologies
5. Psycho-social factors influencing acceptance and implementation
of collaboration technologies
6. Collaboration studies using social psychology (e.g. Motivation,
Trust, Social learning, Self-efficacy, Behavioral theories) or
organizational psychology (e.g. Self-monitoring, Interpersonal
treatment, OCBs, Globalization)
7. Virtual leadership, leadership at a distance, and other
technology-supported leadership styles
8. Motivating employees to adopt, create, use collaborative work
practices
9. Impact of communication technologies on perceptions of self and
others
10. Emotion and networking technologies
11. Collaboration research using cultural psychology
12. Attractions and affiliations in groups, group psychology 13.
Internet (mis)use and social/psychological well-being, harassment,
bullying, addictions
14. Social and interpersonal implications of communications over
cyberspace
15. Altruism, conformity, and other social factors in online
communications
Thus, we invite any paper that contains original research
highlighting the human component in collaboration and
communication technologies. There are no preferred methodological
stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both
qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a
positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies
from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in
nature.
