Call for Papers
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)-48

 Mini-track: Ethical Issues in Organizational Information Systems (Track: Organizational Systems and Technology)

This is a call for papers that conceptually and/or empirically investigate/analyze ethical issues related to Information Systems (IS) within the context of organizations. The aim of this mini-track is not only to create a forum solely to discuss the philosophical aspects of IS ethics, but also to present ethical takes/analyses on multitude of IS issues that have important implications for our organizations as sociopolitical systems. Papers covering both normative and descriptive perspectives of ethics are welcome. Both empirical and theoretical/conceptual papers are called for. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Ethical challenges in the design, development, and implementation of organizational IT.
• Application of Aristotle's virtue theory to organizations, especially in understanding how IT can develop organizational virtues.
• Ethical analysis of organizational IS issues from classical (e.g. deontological and consequentialist perspectives) and contemporary ethical perspectives (e.g. postmodern perspectives; discourse ethics).
• Unethical use of IS.
• Ethical perspectives in IT-enabled knowledge management.
• Ethical challenges/issues in business analytics and intelligence, including in areas such as data warehousing, big data, and social networking.
• Ethical considerations in IT-enabled organizational communication.
• Ethical characteristics/beliefs/practices of IS practitioners/leaders.
• Ethical issues related to IS Strategy, especially understanding how ethics can foster organizational innovation and performance, and the role IT plays in this regard.
• Ethical organizational processes in IS development.
• Ethical/unethical implications of new technologies (stress, information overload, etc.) in the workplace.
• Developing IT Security from ethical viewpoints (e.g. based upon the works of philosophers such as Kant, Mill, and Aristotle)
