[AISWorld] AMICS 2011 CFP: Beyond Use: Examining the outcomes of System Use

[Lionel P. Robert Jr.]

CALL FOR PAPERS

17th Americas Conference on Information Systems
August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA

Track: Diffusion of Information Technology

Minitrack title: Beyond Use: Examining the outcomes of System Use

Description:
IS literature has built a rich stream of research predicting system use in various contexts. An implicit assumption was that use would produce positive benefits either for the individual, team or organization. This explains why most research examining IT/IS adoption and diffusion had intention to use or use at the dependent variable. Researchers have less frequently examined use as the independent variable in the nomological network. As a result, our understanding of whether or not use yields actual benefits and what exactly are those benefits, are less understood. 

This mini-track aims to expand our knowledge of IT/IS adoption and diffusion by moving beyond a focus on use, to understanding broader outcomes. Submissions are expected to provide new insights into how system use impacts outcomes at the individual and team level. As such, research examining the interplay between team and individual analysis is invited. In addition, the mini track is open to examining the impacts of various types of systems. 

Topics of interest to this mini-track will include but are not limited to the following: 

•	The impacts of use on individual and team performance 
•	The impacts of use on turnover, job satisfaction and employer commitment
•	The impacts of use on individual and team mental models
•	The impacts of use on trust, identity, cohesion and social integration
•	The impact of use on the development of social networks 
•	How individual and/or team system use evolves over time to impact various outcomes
•	How team system use influences individual outcomes
