Human Behavior and IT/IS Track

Description:
In response to the increasingly competitive and knowledge-intensive
environments, organizations develop more complex forms and structures
by leveraging information technology (IT). Consequently, the inter-
relationships between IT, individuals and groups become increasingly
complex. It is of great significance and interest for researchers
to unveil how human behavior and social context may affect the
development, adoption, implementation, and use of various forms of IT.

We invite papers that test and extend our current understanding of the
issues in this area. This track focuses on the individual, group and
organizational levels of analysis in the adoption, use, and effects of
IT/IS. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

1. New theoretical perspectives that can help us better understand the
    intertwined nature of social factors and IT/IS.
2. Human and social factors in IT/IS development, adoption, deployment and use.
    Cultural factors for development, adoption, deployment and use of IT/IS.
3. The social and behavioral impacts of Web 2.0 in organizations.
4. Organizational and human factors and the success of virtual teams.
5. The impact of social media (networking) web sites on human
    behavior, organizations, society, and IT development.
6. The relationships between indicators of social capital and IT/IS use.
7. Online and off-line interactions and the development of social relationships.
8. The application of methodological approaches (e.g., social network
    analysis, ethnomethodology, conversation analysis) to understand technology
    development, adoption, deployment, and use.
