[AISWorld] AMCIS 2017 Boston: Mini-track: Replications of Team and Organizational-Level Research

[Fuller, Robert Mark]

**Call for Papers: AMCIS 2017 Mini-track Replications of Team and Organizational-level Research**

We invite submissions to the Replications of Team and Organizational-level Research mini-track within the Replication Research track for AMCIS 2017.

Replication is the key to building a cumulative research tradition. When results are replicated, we have evidence in support of a theory; when results do not replicate, we obtain insights into the boundary conditions of theories or possibly nuances in the research process that lead to different results. In any event, we can begin to address issues associated with the conflicting results that are reported across different studies.

For team-level replications, research should be focused on dyads and teams within virtual environments (e.g., virtual teams, virtual worlds), and even online social networks – any context where two or more people leverage technology. Team-level research for replication includes (among others) the effect of:

 -  Team characteristics such as trust, size, history, leadership on performance and affect
 -  Individual characteristics (e.g., playfulness, personality) on performance and satisfaction
 -  Cultural characteristics on choice, use, performance, and affect
 -  Technology capabilities or affordance/structure enactment on interaction and performance
 -  Interaction, participation, commitment on civility, affect, and support in social media

For organizational-level replications, research should be focused on organizational-level phenomena, utilizing various methodologies and contexts, all of which contribute to rich and diverse research on the role and impacts of information systems in organizations.  Organizational research for replication includes (among others) the effects of:

 -  Information technology governance on technology innovation
 -  Organizational characteristics (absorptive capacity, incentives) on system implementation and success
 -  Systems development and implementation approaches on system success
 -  Organizational characteristics on the adoption of enterprise-level technologies
 -  Information technology on organizational performance

It does not matter how old or new a particular study is. If the study has been published, it can be replicated. All forms of replication -- exact, methodological, and conceptual -- are invited.

**Selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in AIS Transactions on Replication Research.**

**Important Dates**

January 9, 2017:   ScholarOne opens for submissions
March 1, 2017:   ScholarOne closes for submissions
April 17, 2017:   Notification of initial decisions
