Track Description
When organizations implement information security measures, the
measures become implicated in organizations’ technological fabric
and the ebb and flow of organizational life. While it is plausible
to assume that implementing information security has effects on
organizing, how information security measures become and what
organizational implications they pose seem contingent. When
implemented, information security measures may impose control
(Cram et al., 2016), constrain the flows of information
(Baskerville & Dhillon, 2008), cause stress among employees
(D’Arcy et al., 2014), hinder or even prevent performing work
practices (Njenga & Brown, 2012; Hannah & Robertson,
2015), effect intrinsic work motivation (Hemin et al., 2020),
expose employees’ privacy, and surface ethical concerns like value
conflicts (Hedström et al., 2011) and workplace surveillance
(Stahl et al., 2012), to name some of the implications. At the
same time, practitioners and scholars agree on the enabling role
that information security has for contemporary organizing and for
digital transformation (Baskerville et al. 2014; Niemimaa &
Niemimaa, 2019); information security concerns can hinder or
prevent the adoption of digital technologies, and failures can
have devastating effects on organizations but also for the
societies they serve.
This track invites papers that study broadly the effects of
information security on organizing, also including the effects on
privacy and ethics. In short, we invite submissions that address
the relation between information security, privacy, ethics, and
organizing.
The topics include but are not limited to:
• Information security in digital transformation • Impact of
information security on work • Unintentional or unexpected
consequences of information security on organizations. •
Organizational effects on information security implementation. •
Applications of organizational theories in IS security. •
Entanglements of social and material on information security
outcomes • Process theories on information security
transformations. • Dialectics of information security organizing.
• Trade-offs/Balancing between information security and business.
• Implications of information security to privacy in organizations
• Ethical conflicts and issues engendered by information security
in organizations.
