This book provides emerging researchers and postgraduate students with guidance on selecting and applying sociotechnical theories to underpin information systems (IS) research. There has been no book that combines multiple sociotechnical theories as this does. Consequently, it has been difficult to source materials on the application of sociotechnical theories for IS research. Examining the impacts of technological developments and seeking to gain a deeper understanding of how humans interact with computers and systems is a dynamic field but can often confuse researchers with the overwhelming number of social theories that can be utilised to derive insights. Significantly, this book provides guidelines on how to apply the theories with a focus on the six most employed ones in IS research: activity theory, actor-network theory, contingency theory, diffusion of innovation theory, structuration theory, and the technology acceptance model.
