结构化理论在国内信息系统(IS)领域的应用评述

A Review on the Application of Structuration Theory in Information Systems (IS) Field in China

摘要:

吉登斯的结构化理论是信息系统(IS)领域引用较多的社会学理论之一,并有信息系统学者提出针对IS领域的结构化理论。与国外相比,国内IS领域对结构化理论的研究尚浅,尚存在一定问题。本文广泛搜集国内运用结构化理论研究信息系统领域问题的中文文献,对最终确定的20篇文献分别从研究类型、研究主题、研究方法、理论引用四个方面进行分析,在分析基础上指出尚存在的问题。最后,为国内IS领域更好的利用结构化理论进行研究提出发展方向。

Abstract:

Giddens"s structuration theory is one of the most popular sociological theories in Information Systems (IS) field. Basing on Giddens’s work of structuration theory, some IS researchers propose the IS-specific versions of structuration theory. Compared with abroad, the domestic IS research on structuration theory is far more immature. This paper collects as much Chinese literature as possible on IS application of structuration theory, and identifies twenty articles eventually. This paper analyses these articles from four aspects--research types, research topics, research methods, and referencing theories, and points out the existing problems of present literature. Finally, it puts forward the developing direction of IS research on structuration theory.
