A Review of Ethical Issue Considerations in the Information Systems Research Literature
by David Paradice, David Freeman, Jianliang Hao, Joonghee Lee, and Dianne Hall
Published 21 February 2018
A Review of Ethical Issue Considerations in the Information Systems Research Literature summarizes the treatment of ethical considerations that have been made by information systems researchers. When examined in this fashion, one finds that information systems research over the years that incorporates an ethical perspective has transitioned from a focus on codes of ethics and general notions of behavior to more sophisticated models of piracy, privacy, and security. There has been a steady focus on theory development over the last ten years, as well as constant scrutiny on the obligations of information system researchers to both the subjects of studies and the consumers of the research results. The monograph begins with a brief introduction and review of major ethical theories. This is followed by the category summaries, which are listed in alphabetical order to enable a reader to jump to a specific topic. The last sections address future research opportunities and the conclusions drawn.
Interpersonal and Technology-based Trust Research
by Valentin Kammerlohr and David Paradice
Published 27 February 2023
We encounter trust every day in our lives but it becomes increasingly important in technology-based transactions as traditional interpersonal trust factors cannot be applied as usual. As technology becomes more and more ubiquitous in our lives, we need to understand how trust in technology contexts is created, maintained, destroyed, and possibly rebuilt. This knowledge is important for the developers of technology, to create successful use, and for the users of technology, to be aware of the vulnerabilities and potential risks of technology use.
This monograph examines the rich history of trust research outside of a technology context to assess existing trust studies in technology contexts and to inform the design and execution of future trust research in technology contexts. Because trust is a very complex construct, the authors first review the term. The rest of the review is organized in the context of personal, professional, and organizational relationships, looking at initial trust and the long-term evolution of trust. An overview of existing technology-based trust studies published in MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, and other Information Systems research outlets is provided. Finally, the authors identify where research and practical gaps and opportunities exist for future technology-based trust studies by balancing acquired and practical relevance.
