RESEARCH OVERVIEW
My research interests have evolved from Information Systems (IS) development, use and implications in organizational contexts, to broader social adoption and implications of Information Technologies, including more recently digitalization, datafication and AI. As a researcher, supervisor and teacher for many years I developed interest in theoretical foundations and methodological advancements of IS research. In my empirical studies I found particularly insightful interpretive and critical social approaches and affiliated qualitative research methods. In recent decade, my empirical studies of digital work (eg. crowdsourcing, digital nomadism) and algorithmic automation of decision-making (in public sector), among others, led to exploration and adoption of sociomaterial and process oriented research perspectives. These perspectives open new horizons in understanding digital transformation and its ethical consequences. 听听
