-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - AMCIS 2017 Mini-Track on Information Systems and Positive Organizational Scholarship Datum: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 20:49:58 +0000 Von: Fulk, Dr. H.

Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) focuses on "what is positive, flourishing, and life-giving in organizations" (Cameron and Caza 2004, p. 7), and investigates ideas such as compassion, virtuousness, wisdom, resilience, relationship quality, and employee personal growth. POS research is emerging, as exemplified by special issues in respected journals like AMR and JBE. Current IS research trends - such as building a bright society (JAIS special issue call) and societal challenges (MISQ special issue published) - are decidedly humanistic in focus and align well with POS. We contend that research at the intersection of POS and IS offers opportunities for the IS discipline to make additional, distinctive contributions, including answering recent calls to use IS to make the world a better place (Walsham 2012). This mini-track aims to stimulate IS researchers to engage in studying POS-related phenomena. All methodological approaches, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, as well as theoretical papers, are welcome.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Individual humility in the networked world. 2. Practicing respect in virtual teams. 3. Technological challenges to, and opportunities for, fostering human flourishing. 4. Harnessing organizational wisdom using IT. 5. IT as a source of organizational vitality. 6. The influence of expressing care and concern using IT on quality of relationships with organizational stakeholders. 7. Building positive organizations using IT. 8. IT affordances' roles in positive leaders' empowerment of employees. 9. IT's influence on the generation and practice of organizational virtues. 10. Sociomaterial conceptions of ethical organizing.
