Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Thirty behavioral theories critically analyzed for information systems research Researchers and practitioners applying behavioral theories to information systems (IS) need more than descriptive summaries; they need critical evaluation and operationalization guidance. Understanding Human Behavior in Digital Transformation: Theories, Applications, and Critical Insights for Information Systems, written by award-winning information systems scholar Dr. Stephen Treacy, unpacks more than thirty foundational theories through a consistent analytical framework designed for rigorous application. Each theory receives structured treatment: a clear summary, explanation of key constructs and relationships, intellectual origins, critical evaluation of explanatory scope and limitations, research design guidance, and assessment of common misapplications. Coverage spans influential frameworks including the Psychological Reactance Theory, Social Identity Theory, Cognitive Dissonance Theory, Bounded Rationality, and Escalation of Commitment Theory to name but a few, addressing their intersections and contradictions. The book also provides: Behavioral theory applied to pressing challenges including AI adoption, digital well-being, cybersecurity behavior, and technology ethics Concrete examples drawn from digital adoption, system design, and technology resistance in real-world transformation contexts Guidance for selecting, applying, and critically interpreting theories in empirical IS research and doctoral work Critical evaluation of what each theory explains and what it does not, including strengths, weaknesses, and common pitfalls Designed for researchers, educators, practitioners, and graduate students, this book provides the critical depth needed to select, apply, and evaluate behavioral theories in IS research. Its consistent analytical framework makes it a valuable resource for doctoral supervision and advanced study in digital transformation. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Human behavior is of fundamental importance not only to the individual, but to the community and all of humanity. Now that humans have acquired the capability of interfering with or destroying living systems, it is of great consequence to the planet itself. With this in mind, the book Understanding Human Behavior: Theories, Patterns, and Developments is the result of inviting several leading innovative thinkers to consider how they could contribute to a discussion of understanding human behavior. Their perspectives differ in approach and focus, but they all confirm the great complexity of the topic, and they show that science has hardly scratched its surface. The eight chapters of this volume are dominated by considerations of how the behavior of humans began and developed in the distant past, during the evolution of early humans. In human sociology, the term behavior refers to the range of physical action/reaction and observable emotion associated with individuals today, as well as human society as a whole. But this describes only effects or symptoms of a condition pertaining to today, without considering how it came about, i.e., its original causes. This is examined in several chapters of this book, together with apparent historical trajectories of human behavior in an attempt to explore its etiology. Other contributions investigate more specific aspects of human behavior, including those recorded in history and even in modern times. In summary, this volume provides a well-rounded investigation into current cutting-edge understanding of the origins and nature of human behavior.…
