Legitimacy of Non-Complaint IT Use
My legitimacy paper is influenced by my research area of non-compliant IT use (or some would call it shadow IT or cyberslacking). Based on mainly management but also some IS literature, I used an organizing and then broad-theorizing review approach to analyze the available literature and synthesize the understanding of legitimacy resulting in a thematic map through thematic analysis. In the theorizing review, I applied a praxeological neo-sociotechnical system lens to transfer the legitimacy phenomenon to the IS discipline, specifically to non-compliant IT use, developing a technology legitimacy framework with boundary conditions, legitimacy propositions, and a model.
(The first talk of this year will exceptionally be online only)
