[AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2018 Mini-track: The Dark Side of Information Technology Use

[Randy Wong]

Call for Papers - Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 2018

New Orleans, LA, August 16-18, 2018

Track: *Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology*

Mini-track: *The Dark Side of Information Technology Use*



We invite submissions to the Dark Side of Information Technology Use
mini-track at the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 2018
to be held in New Orleans, LA, August 16-18, 2018.

Information systems (IS) research traditionally emphasizes the positive
values and outcomes (e.g., productivity and enjoyment) of information
technology (IT) use. The dark side of IT use (e.g., technology addiction,
technostress, information overload) remains an under-explored area of
research. Emerging IS research has begun to examine the dark side of IT use
that harms the individuals, organizations, and societies. While the dark
side of IT use has attracted increasing scholarly attention, the continuous
advancement of IT has dramatically increased the scope and intensity of the
phenomena. This mini-track provides a forum for the exchange of research
ideas and best practices related to the dark side of IT use. It aims to
raise awareness of the emerging negative aspects of IT use, and address the
challenges of maintaining a productive, enjoyable and healthy use of IT.



We invite both completed and research-in-progress papers. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:



- Theoretical models explaining relationships between the antecedents and
negative outcomes of IT use

- Conceptualization and operationalization of the concepts related to dark
usage of IT (e.g., misuse, obsessive use, compulsive use, and addictive use)

- Theoretical models explaining dark usage of IT

- Negative outcomes of IT use in different levels (individual,
organizational, societal levels)

- Relationships between positive and negative outcomes of IT use

- Technological designs and negative outcomes of IT use

- Cultural differences and negative outcomes of IT use

- Measurements of negative outcomes of IT use

- Prevention and intervention programs for reducing levels of negative
outcomes of IT use

- Legislation for alleviating negative outcomes of IT use

- Novel methodological approaches for studying negative outcomes of IT use

- Future trends of research on negative outcomes of IT use





Important dates

- January 15, 2018: System opens for paper submissions

- February 28, 2018: Deadline for paper submissions
