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.
