Call for Papers – AMCIS 2025: The Dark Side of Technology Use

[Murad Moqbel]

Dear Colleagues,

I am very excited to announce that our mini-track, The Dark Side of
Technology Use, will run for the 8th consecutive year as part of the
Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT) track at the
AMCIS 2025 Conference, to be held in Montreal, Canada, from August 14–16,
2025.

This mini-track provides a platform for examining the negative impacts of
contemporary technologies on individuals, organizations, and society.
Technologies like social media platforms, smartphones, AI systems, and
health IT solutions offer numerous benefits but can also lead to challenges
like addiction, technostress, interruptions, disinformation, privacy
concerns, and health issues—both psychological and physical. Even tools
like work emails or security software, which enhance productivity and
safety, can have unintended consequences.

We encourage submissions that explore these multifaceted issues and propose
innovative strategies to mitigate the challenges arising from the darker
side of technology. We welcome contributions that are empirical
(quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods), theoretical, as well as
modeling and simulation studies.

✍ Topics include but are not limited to:
▪️ IT Addiction and problematic use
▪️ Technostress
▪️ Interruptions and workplace disruptions
▪️ Disinformation, Misinformation, and deceptive behaviors
▪️ AI algorithm biases
▪️ Online privacy and security concerns
▪️ Health and well-being impacts
▪️ Interventions to address these challenges

📅 Important Dates:
▪️ Jan. 5, 2025: Manuscript submissions begin
▪️ Feb. 28, 2025: Submission are due at 5 PM EST
▪️ May 9, 2025: TREO, PDS, workshop, and panel submissions are due at at 5
