Supporting opinions to fit in: A Spiral of Silence-Theoretic Explanation for Establishing Echo Chambers and Filter Bubbles on Social Media
Purpose Social media communities contain like-minded members who disclose opinions about various topics that are important to them. These communities often function as echo chambers, filter bubbles or separate spaces for users to share conforming opinions and discredit others deliberately. In extreme cases, they build their alternative reality with limited information that can lead to real-world action, as seen in the storming of the capitol. The…
Fostering the digital mindset to mitigate technostress: An empirical study of empowering individuals for using digital technologies
Purpose Technostress reduces employees' work performance and increases their turnover intentions, such that technostress harms organizations' success. This paper investigates how the digital mindset of employees, reflecting their cognitive filter while using digital technologies, influences reactions to techno-stressors. Design/methodology/approach In this quantitative study, the authors conducted a survey among 151 employees who regularly use di…
Social media discontinuation: A systematic literature review on drivers and inhibitors
Recent practical reports reveal that users leave social media. This behavior is named social media discontinuation (SMD) and is attributed to stress, fatigue, and further negative effects caused while using social media. While current literature points to some causes of SMD, a systematic literature review is needed to identify current research trends, carve out future research directions, and guide practitioners in encouraging users not to close …
ICT-based training and education in volunteer sports communities: An action design research project with soccer referees during the Covid-19 pandemic
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the beliefs and attitudes toward the use of information and communication technology (ICT). The study examines the challenges of implementing ICT-based training and provides insights for promoting the acceptance of online training in volunteer sports communities. Design/methodology/approach The study uses an action design research methodology that combines …
Handbuch psychoanalytischer Grundbegriffe
Dieses Handbuch, verfasst von rund 140 Wissenschaftlern, erläutert nach einem einheitlichen Schema die grundlegenden Begriffe der Psychoanalyse. Neben ihrer Definition, ihrer klassischen Auffassung und ihrem ideengeschichtlichen Hintergrund wird die Weiterentwicklung der klassischen Psychoanalyse in den einzelnen Schulrichtungen detailliert beschrieben. Zugleich knüpft das Handbuch an den interdisziplinären Diskurs an, indem es in einen Dialog mi…
From stocks to ETFs: Explaining retail investors' migration behavior
Purpose Evidence suggests that retail investors who invest in individual stocks are, in the long run, largely outperformed by market indexes such as the MSCI World. While some turn to exchange traded funds (ETFs) to invest in such market indexes, few migrate completely to ETFs. This study aims to shed light on the rationale behind retail investors' partial and complete migration from stocks to ETFs. Design/methodology/approach Drawing from the pu…
Shocks and Is User Behavior: A taxonomy and future research directions
Purpose Jarring events, be they global crises such as COVID-19 or technological events such as the Cambridge Analytica data incident, have bullwhip effects on billions of people's daily lives. Such “shocks” vary in their characteristics. While some shocks cause, for example, widespread adoption of information systems (IS) as diverse as Netflix and Teams, others lead users to stop using IS, such as Facebook. To offer insights into the multifaceted…
The direct and indirect influence of mindfulness on techno-stressors and job burnout: A quantitative study of white-collar workers
Qualitative comparative analysis in the information systems discipline: A literature review and methodological recommendations
Purpose Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a promising, powerful method that is increasingly used for IS research. However, the Information Systems (IS) discipline still lacks a shared understanding of how to conduct and report QCA. This paper introduces the fundamental concepts of QCA, summarizes the status quo, and derives recommendations for future research. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive literature review in major IS outlets…
Laziness as an explanation for the privacy paradox: A longitudinal empirical investigation
Purpose “Smart devices think you're “too lazy” to opt out of privacy defaults” was the headline of a recent news report indicating that individuals might be too lazy to stop disclosing their private information and therefore to protect their information privacy. In current privacy research, privacy concerns and self-disclosure are central constructs regarding protecting privacy. One might assume that being concerned about protecting privacy would…
Explaining the link between technostress and technology addiction for social networking sites: A study of distraction as a coping behavior
This paper investigates under what conditions stress from the use of SNS is linked to addiction to the use of the same SNS. Integrating three theoretical strands—the concept of feature‐rich Information Technology (IT), the theory of technology frames, and distraction as a coping behaviour—we theorize two types of coping behaviours in response to stressors experienced from the use of SNS. These are ‐ distraction through use of the same SNS and dis…
The effects of technostress and switching stress on discontinued use of social networking services: A study of Facebook use
Although much research has been performed on the adoption and usage phases of the information systems life cycle, the final phase, termination, has received little attention. This paper focuses on the development of discontinuous usage intentions, i.e. the behavioural intention in the termination phase, in the context of social networking services (SNSs), where it plays an especially crucial role. We argue that users stressed by using SNSs try to…
Intersubjectivity and the creation of meaning in the analytic process: (Translated by Barbara Wharton)
By means of a clinical illustration, the author describes how the intersubjective exchanges involved in an analytic process facilitate the representation of affects and memories which have been buried in the unconscious or indeed have never been available to consciousness. As a result of projective identificatory processes in the analytic relationship, in this example the analyst falls into a situation of helplessness which connects with his own …
