“…This is in line with prior studies (Breward et al, 2017;Warkentin, Goel, & Menard, 2017) that showed that there is a predisposition to view emerging and/or controversial solutions with greater scepticism and worry as when risks and returns are more predictable to users. As we mentioned above, there is a considerable emphasis on constraints across all mental models.…”

“…The limiting factors shaped the worldviews of our respondents much more than the action potentials. This is in line with prior studies (Breward et al, 2017;Warkentin, Goel, & Menard, 2017) that showed that there is a predisposition to view emerging and/or controversial solutions with greater scepticism and worry as when risks and returns are more predictable to users. All mental models we discovered exhibit a certain level of controversy and hesitant attitude towards physiolytics, since multiple constraints become salient in the people's appraisals.…”

Physiolytics at the workplace: Affordances and constraints of wearables use from an employee's perspective

Wearables paired with data analytics and machine learning algorithms that measure physiological (and other) parameters are slowly finding their way into our workplace. Several studies have reported positive effects from using such “physiolytics” devices and purported the notion that it may lead to significant workplace safety improvements or to increased awareness among employees concerning unhealthy work practices and other job‐related health and well‐being issues. At the same time, physiolytics may cause an overdependency on technology and create new constraints on privacy, individuality, and personal freedom. While it is easy to understand why organizations are implementing physiolytics, it remains unclear what employees think about using wearables at their workplace. Using an affordance theory lens, we, therefore, explore the mental models of employees who are faced with the introduction of physiolytics as part of corporate wellness or security programs. We identify five distinct user types each of which characterizes a specific viewpoint on physiolytics at the workplace: the freedom loving, the individualist, the cynical, the tech independent, and the balancer. Our findings allow for better understanding the wider implications and possible user responses to the introduction of wearable technologies in occupational settings and address the need for opening up the “user black box” in IS use research.

“…Similar to lab experiments, vignette methodology comes with downsides such as artificial simplifications and hypothetical linear usage scenarios; however, it enables precisely employing manipulations, accurately examining the effects on dependent variables, and identifying hypothesized causal relationships. This technique has also been demonstrated to be valid and effective in assessing individuals' perceptions of and reactions to specific information privacy‐ and security‐related conditions (Lowry, Moody, & Chatterjee, ; Warkentin, Goel, & Menard, ). Our fictional vignettes described a discussion among family members at dinner in the presence of an SHA called Ingenium ; the discussion concerned an upcoming holiday trip.…”

With the growing proliferation of smart home assistants (SHAs), digital services are increasingly pervading people's private households. Through their intrusive features, SHAs threaten to not only increase individual users' strain but also impair social relationships at home. However, while previous research has predominantly focused on technology features' detrimental effects on employee strain at work, there is still a lack of understanding of the adverse effects of digital devices on individuals and their social relations at home.

“…Following an analysis of the publication outlets of the articles, the findings indicated that majority of the articles (17 articles) originated from journals, whereas the several remaining ones (14 articles) originated from conferences, one from a book. Tables 3 and 4 tabulate that only a single article (19) came from the Journal of the Association of Information Systems, as majority of the articles have yet to be appended to top IS journals and conferences, identified by the Association for Information Systems (AIS) like MISQ, ISR and EJIS journals or conferences including ICIS, AMCIS and PACIS. The review of the 32 articles are categorized further according to theory/ framework/model used in each article.…”

This paper primarily aims to provide a systematic review of factors influencing the individuals’ acceptance of Internet of things (IoT). There are numerous studies in literature that examine factors affecting technology acceptance. However, the studies on the review for acceptance of Internet of Things is limited. This study conducted a review and analysis of 32 articles from academic journals and conference proceedings published about the adoption, acceptance and diffusion of IoT. According to the review outcome, there are increasing numbers of studies that have been conducted in the IoT acceptance among individuals hailing from various points of view, with different factors affecting such viewpoints. Nevertheless, it was also noted that a theoretical, methodological and empirical study has yet to be carried out in the field to determine the factors related to the context of its application. The findings also led the author to recommend more future theoretical, methodological and empirical research to be conducted on the topic.
