[AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2018 – Replications of Dyad, Team, and Organizational-level Research

[Fuller, Robert Mark]

**Call for Papers: AMCIS 2018 Mini-track: Replications of Dyad, Team, and Organizational-level Research **

We invite submissions to the Replications of Dyad, Team, and Organizational-level Research mini-track within the Replication Research track for AMCIS 2018, New Orleans, LA, August 16-18, 2018.

Replication is key to building a cumulative research tradition. Research replication helps provide evidence in support of theory.  Even when results do not replicate, we can still obtain insights into the boundary conditions of theories or potential nuances in the research process that lead to different results. In any case, we can begin to address issues associated with the conflicting results that are reported across different studies.

For dyad and team-level replications, research should be focused on any context where two or more people leverage technology.  These contexts could include, virtual teams, virtual worlds, and even online social networks. Dyad and 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
-  Organization characteristics (absorptive capacity, incentives) on system implementation and success
-  Systems development and implementation approaches on system success

It does not matter how old or new the study, if it 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**
