<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable
vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS related, for example,
due to technostress, intrusiveness and deceptiveness, credibility and deception, addiction to technology use, and distrust. These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience—conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS
use, are potentially pervasive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">and issues that address this “troubling” side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly
welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g., theories of stress and deviant behavior from psychology, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management)
to examine various aspects of this phenomenon. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
