Theme
The complexity introduced by digitalization across sectors has cast established ways of thinking, working and doing into question. While technological development often is described in terms of human progress, the use of digital technology may limit people’s ability to cultivate their virtue and flourish. For example, a growing number of research studies points to the negative consequences of digitalization related to stress, inequality, anxiety, social disconnect and more. Therefore, this minitrack will provide a forum to explore, present and discuss a wide range of issues related to human flourishing in digitally enabled environments. Human flourishing refers to the optimal continuing development of human beings’ potential and the desire to live well as a human being.
A number of questions arise when considering the notion of human flourishing in contemporary organizations and society. How does digital technology impact human flourishing? How can human flourishing be promoted through digital means? What is needed to make human flourishing a central concern of an organization’s digital transformation or digital innovation? How do people utilize digital technologies to enable individual and collective flourishing? In sum, it is far from trivial to determine what constitutes human flourishing and how digital technology can contribute to personal and professional growth, which is why this minitrack calls for new insights and perspectives on this research topic.
We welcome papers that aim at advancing our understanding of conceptualizations of human flourishing in digital environments at various levels (e.g., individual, group, organizational, societal) and from various perspectives (e.g., cultural, design, ethical). We welcome not only empirical research papers but also conceptual, analytical and theoretical papers that can advance our understanding of human flourishing in the digital age in one or more ways – theoretical, managerial, or societal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: digital innovation, sustainable design, responsible innovation, open innovation, phenomenological studies, emotional design, ubiquitous computing and HCI. We especially encourage papers that carefully attend to management practices that shape or impact processes and outcomes. In particular, we seek, but not limit to:

  *   Conceptual or theoretical work of the nature and effects of value-based approaches in developing new digital technologies, systems, and solutions
  *   Novel approaches to digitally innovating for human flourishing
  *   Empirically based conceptual views of human flourishing, virtue ethics and emerging digital technologies
  *   Novel approaches to digital technology and value-based rationality
  *   Consequences of digital technology that affect human flourishing
  *   Usage of digital technology and services to promote human flourishing
  *   Ethics and moral issues (philosophical ethics) in digital technology development
  *   The role of wisdom, emotions, and lust in the digital era
  *   Hybrid agency in the digital era
Selected minitrack authors of accepted conference papers will have the opportunity to submit a significantly extended version of their paper for consideration to Scandinaivan Journal of Information Systems<https://aisel.aisnet.org/sjis/>. Submitted papers will be fast-tracked through the review process.
