From Use to Effective Use: A Representation Theory Perspective (2013, background): “Although past research (especially qualitative research) has shown the importance of adaptation and learning (Majchrzak et al. 2000; Boudreau and Seligman 2005; Barki et al. 2007), our contribution lies in the analysis of specific dimensions.”
Information Technology and the Changing Fabric of Organization (2007, background): “It can take the form of virtual teams (Cramton 2001, Fiol and O’Connor 2005, Hinds and Mortensen 2005, Majchrzak et al. 2000), online electronic networks of practice (Wasko and Faraj 2005), or new patterns of collaboration (von Hippel and von Krogh 2003).”
The Impact of Knowledge Coordination on Virtual Team Performance Over Time (2007, background): “…Leidner 1998), culture (Jarvenpaa, Knoll, and Leidner 1998; Massey et al. 2001), conflict (Massey et al. 2001), and the appropriation of communication technology (Majchrzak et al. 2000) are among a few of the factors that have been identified as drivers of the success and failure of virtual teams.”
Sensemaking and Sustainable Practicing: Functional Affordances of Information Systems in Green Transformations (2013, background): “Single case studies are well-accepted in the IS literature (e.g., Davidson and Chismar 2007; Levina and Ross 2003; Majchrzak et al. 2000; Sarker et al. 2012; Silva and Hirschheim 2007; Vlaar et al. 2008), because they allow researchers to develop a deep understanding of information systems in use…”
Emergent leadership in virtual teams: what do emergent leaders do? (2004, background): “Majchrzak et al. (2000) found that virtual team members continually adapt the way they use electronic communication technology in order to address their group process needs adequately.”
The role of trust climate in virtual teams (2012, result): “In addition, other studies have shown that the type of tasks that VTs undertake moderates the outcomes among work groups in general (Stewart and Barrick, 2000; Wageman, 1995), including VTs (Majchrzak et al., 2000).”
The technostress trifecta ‐ techno eustress, techno distress and design: Theoretical directions and an agenda for research (2019, background): “such that they fit they better fit with the technology (Beaudry and Pinsonneault 2005; Majchrzak et al. 2000) and distancing or stepping away from the technology mediated task”
Enterprise Information Systems as Objects and Carriers of Institutional Forces: The New Iron Cage? (2004, background): “Majchrzak et al. (2000) synthesize a model of technology adaptation, proposing that preexisting structures (technology, group and environment) impact appropriation moves depending on the degree of misalignment (Leonard-Barton, 1988), the malleability of the structures (Johnson and Rice, 1987), and…”
When Flexible Routines Meet Flexible Technologies: Affordance, Constraint, and the Imbrication of Human and Material Agencies (2011, unknown): “From data repositories (Alavi and Leidner 2001) to networked collaboration tools (Majchrzak et al. 2000) to computer simulation software (Dodgson et al. 2007), technologies are increasingly designed to be customizable and adaptable to the needs of developers and users.”
Challenges in Conducting Empirical Work Using Structuration Theory: Learning from IT Research (2005, background): “We identified ten studies that had used this modality of bracketing: Barley (1990a), Majchrzak et al. (2000), Ngwenyama (1998), Orlikowski (1991 1992 1993 1996), Orlikowski and Yates (1994), Orlikowski et al. (1995), and Yates and Orlikowski (1992).”
Toward a Theory of Knowledge Reuse: Types of Knowledge Reuse Situations and Factors in Reuse Success (2001, background): “Increasingly, this basic distinction must be augmented with graphical information such as engineering drawings [42] and with audio, video, and multimedia “documents.”
Media, Tasks, and Communication Processes: A Theory of Media Synchronicity (2008, background): “Appropriation is also influenced by other factors (Majchrzak et al. 2000).”
Materiality and change: Challenges to building better theory about technology and organizing (2008, background): “…a number of other researchers have begun to argue that when misalignments surface between the functionality of an existing technology and users' needs, people often physically adapt the technologies with which they work (Majchrzak et al., 2000; Markus, 2004; Pollock, 2005; Tyre & Orlikowski, 1994).”
Virtual teams: team control structure, work processes, and team effectiveness (2004, background): “Similarly, the team can decide to appropriate the technology as expected, but adapt the team structure and the organizational environment to correct misalignments (Majchrzak et al., 2000).”
