In this article, we theorise that EXM platforms are implanted into the workflow through digital embeddedness, which is appropriated and reconfigured through the interactions between human and digital subsystems in hybrid work. We adopt the lens of digital/human interaction to explore the reciprocal process of how EXM platforms configure and are reconfigured in hybrid work. Based on a case study of Microsoft Viva, an AI-based EXM platform, we propose a conceptual model that identifies two dimensions of digital embeddedness: digital/human embeddedness and digital/workplace embeddedness. The study contributes to a theoretical understanding of digital embeddedness as a dynamic process whilst also showing the reconfiguration of hybrid work practices evidences a joint optimization. The study further contributes insights into how hybrid work, which resulted from the enforced remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to emerge due to the digital embeddedness of EXM platforms in the flow of hybrid work.</p>","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"35 2","pages":"450-479"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12545","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141641968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As scholars of the topic, we were encouraged by the development of this knowledge area (Kranz et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;) and noted this accordingly. However, when we presented the draft of our call for papers to Rick Watson, our Special Advisor for the special issue, he offered us a sobering reminder. From his perspective, “the response (of the global IS community) has been dismal and the IS contribution, at best, marginal” (we included this line verbatim in the final version of our call for papers). It was a “curb your enthusiasm” moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upon reflection, our insight is that while there is indeed a growing body of conceptual work (e.g., Kotlarsky et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Pan et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;), there remains a critical shortage of empirical studies that demonstrate the real-world applications and impacts of IS in promoting sustainability. For a topic with existential implications, our field's collective response remains inadequate. Collectively, the IS community has the knowledge and ability to make a difference, but the key to unlocking this potential lies in generating and offering evidence-based insights through the conduct of empirical studies. This is the focus of our special issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our call for more empirical studies is not just a call for more data but also a call for more actionable insights (Li et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Conceptual work has its place; it helps us frame problems, develop hypotheses, and propose models. However, without empirical validation, these contributions risk remaining theoretical exercises with limited impact on practice (Bergh et al., &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;). Empirical studies are crucial because they provide concrete evidence of how IS can be leveraged to achieve sustainability goals, offering valuable lessons for sustainability practitioners and policymakers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empirical research helps us bridge the gap between theory and practice (Aguinis &amp; Edwards, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). It validates conceptual models and frameworks, providing evidence of what works and what doesn't in real-world settings. For example, empirical studies can show how specific IS interventions can reduce energy consumption, improve waste management, or enhance the efficiency of resource use. They can also reveal the challenges and barriers to implementing these interventions, providing insights that can help refine and improve theoretical models (Kotlarsky et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This first paper, “Digital sustainable business models: Using digital technology to integrate ecological sustainability into the core of business models” (Böttcher et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;), explores how digital technologies can be used to create sustainable business models that integrate economic, social, and env","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"414-416"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12543","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141669038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research has highlighted the influence of digital ecosystems on digital transformation, but we lack knowledge about how this relationship unfolds across the organisational and the ecosystem levels. Following a phenomenon-based theorising approach and applying a digital resource-based view, we present the OCO (orientation, cooperation, orchestration) theory of digital transformation. The OCO theory explains the relationship between an organisation's digital transformation and its integration into a digital ecosystem. We uncover and explain three interdependent mechanisms, that is, orientation, cooperation, and orchestration, that are set in motion by cross-level interactions between the organisational and the ecosystem levels and that centre around digital resources. Our work advances the frontier of multi-level digital transformation research explaining the influence of a digital ecosystem on digital transformation. We conclude through six propositions that the deeper its digital ecosystem integration, the more likely an organisation's digital transformation is effective.

One application involves consolidating diverse user data into unified profiles, aggregating consumer behaviours to accurately tailor marketing efforts. Although AI provides more convenience to consumers and more efficient and profitable marketing for organisations, the act of aggregating data into behavioural profiles for use in machine learning algorithms introduces significant privacy implications for users, including unforeseeable personal disclosure, outcomes biased against marginalised population groups and organisations' inability to fully remove data from AI systems on consumer request. Although these implementations of AI are rapidly altering the way consumers perceive information privacy, researchers have thus far lacked an accurate method for measuring consumers' privacy concerns related to AI. In this study, we aim to (1) validate a scale for measuring privacy concerns related to AI misuse (PC-AIM) and (2) examine the effects that PC-AIM has on nomologically related constructs under the APCO framework. We provide evidence demonstrating the validity of our newly developed scale.

This article performs a comprehensive fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to juxtaposing different configurations of job characteristics across forms of work. Our multi-source study is based on a matched sample of 1215 diverse working personnel (with supervisors, who evaluated employee performance) in Montenegro. Based on the pathways leading to task performance in different forms of work, we develop propositions centered on the key principles of designing traditional and alternative, non-traditional forms of work. While we confirm the importance of enriched work design, several specific characteristics and their accompanying configurations (including compensatory effects) are highlighted with regard to the task performance achieved. These include high levels of task identity for all three forms of work (on-site, hybrid and remote). Work performed in a traditional on-site setting additionally requires greater task variety. Conversely, remote work requires high information processing and social support. The hybrid model calls for the most complicated work design that combines essential elements of both the on-site and remote work paradigms, namely task variety and information processing, and also for enhanced mechanisms for job feedback. Hybrid work is a universal social phenomenon still on the uptake that likely represents the future of work, and since it combines traditional settings with information and communication technologies, we also emphasise the importance of field-bridging future research of information systems and organisational design areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"279-321"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12542","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the majority of studies are conducted within an urban context, but they scarcely focus on identifying the challenges in developing rural e-governance. As such, we contend that an ecology perspective is necessary to identify the specific distinctions of ICT use on e-governance in various rural ecosystems. To this end, we employ various empirical specifications, namely a fixed-effects model and an instrumental variable approach, to provide evidence of distinct influences of ICT use on e-governance. As follows, we adopt a qualitative research approach to gather evidence on the differentiations of ICT use on rural e-governance within diverse ecosystems.

Our primary focus is to discern dynamic patterns of complementor responses and to understand their role in the process of re-stabilising the complementor's positioning. To this end, we conducted a 14-year longitudinal study, analysing 21 move-response instances across four platform partnerships. Our findings reveal three distinct complementor response archetypes: insist, pivot, and detach. Over time, complementors combine these archetypes into three unique response patterns. Through progressive diverging, complementors sidestep platform owner moves by diversifying their offer beyond the focal ecosystem. Although this can entail substantial multi-homing costs, it reduces dependence on the platform owner and bolsters resilience against future moves. Through adaptive oscillating, complementors use platform owner moves as opportunities to gradually diversify their offer within the focal ecosystem. This stepwise market expansion makes them resilient against future moves, while mitigating costs and efforts related to multi-homing. Through persistent insisting, complementors can re-establish their previous positioning, but at the cost of increased dependence on the platform owner, leaving the complementor vulnerable to future moves. We synthesise these findings in our process model of complementor positioning.

This positioning has rendered its boundaries occasionally ambiguous (Sarker et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;), yet at the same time the field has remained undeniably important in its relevance to practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This ongoing debate about the field's boundaries and identity has persisted over several decades (Alavi &amp; Carlson, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;; Benbasat &amp; Zmud, &lt;span&gt;2003&lt;/span&gt;; Palvia et al., &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;; Sarker et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;) and has followed both technological advancements and methodological innovations. The challenge of encapsulating the breadth of IS is illustrated by early attempts to categorise the discipline through keyword schemes (Barki et al., &lt;span&gt;1993&lt;/span&gt;), which, even though encompassing nearly 1300 keywords, still fall short of covering the full range of topics that IS journals publish today (Upreti et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Indeed, defining the intellectual core of the IS discipline (Sidorova et al., &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;) is a challenging task (Chatterjee et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Schwartz, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regardless of the varying opinions on what IS is (or is not) and thus what the IS discipline entails, some basic tenets of the IS discipline have become broadly accepted over time. Most scholars would agree that: IS is a sociotechnical discipline where social and technical factors acquire comparative salience in terms of their relationships with outcomes (Beath et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Sarker et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;); IS research needs theoretical grounding (Díaz Andrade et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;); IS scholarship has substantial diversity (Taylor et al., &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;); and IS research benefits from both intra- and inter-disciplinary approaches (Tarafdar &amp; Davison, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, we feel that these well-accepted characteristics of IS research sometimes conflict with each other, creating confusion in the minds of authors submitting their work to IS journals. For example, the interdisciplinary and diverse nature of the IS research landscape often prompts authors from other disciplines (notably engineering, business and the social sciences) to submit their work to IS journals without reflecting upon whether the work is truly sociotechnical and has an identifiable IS artefact (Chatterjee et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) or even if it has a strong theoretical grounding (Davison &amp; Tarafdar, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;) that is consistent with how the IS discipline understands theory (Gregor, &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ISJ is also encountering this trend: we often see situations involving authors who, in their submitted papers, make no connection to any of the fundamental tenets of IS research, such as a carefully-articulated theoretical contribution, or an identifiable sociotechni","PeriodicalId":48049,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/isj.12538","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141124586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
