Understanding compassion capability (2011, background): “The idea of practices as recurrent, situated activities is at the heart of a structuration approach to organizing, and more fully developed in what has come to be called practice theory (Antonacopoulou, 2007; Bordieu, 1990; Giddens, 1984; Orlikowski, 1992; 2000; 2002; Schatzki, 2001).”
CRAFTING QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: MORGAN AND SMIRCICH 30 YEARS ON. (2010, background): “Although institutional theories favor the structure part of the relationship and enactment theories position actors as the organizing force, structuration theorists privilege neither but attempt to reconcile the two through an iterative process (e.g., Barley & Tolbert, 1997; Orlikowski, 2000).”
Unpacking Unintended Consequences in Planned Organizational Change: A Process Model (2007, background): “Structuration theory has seen its extension by organizational scholars to a wide range of topics, such as innovation (Chanal, 2004; Edwards, 2000), control (Dirsmith, Heian, & Covaleski, 1997), technology (Barley, 1986; Orlikowski, 2000), accounting systems (Conrad, 2005), knowledge (Hargadon, & Fan”
Theorizing Practice and Practicing Theory (2011, methodology): “…1992, 1996) used practice theory to inform my understanding of phenomena (highlighting the recursive duality of technology in use), my later work (Orlikowski 2000, 2002; Schultze and Orlikowski 2004) used practice theory more explicitly to reconceptualize the nature of the phenomenon…”
Technology Acceptance Model 3 and a Research Agenda on Interventions (2008, background): “Some employees may react favorably to these changes, while the others may perceive these changes as a threat to their well-being (Orlikowski, 2000; Boudreau & Robey, 2005).”
“News comes across when I’m in a moment of leisure”: Understanding the practices of incidental news consumption on social media (2018, positive): “Orlikowski pioneered the use of practice theory to the study of information technologies (Feldman and Orlikowski, 2011; Orlikowski, 2000, 2002; Scott and Orlikowski, 2014).”
New Practice Creation: An Institutional Perspective on Innovation (2007, background): “Thus, performativity encompasses both strategically engineered deviations to, for instance, address competitive markets, as well as variations triggered by less strategic efforts to modify practices to address localized contingencies (e.g. Orlikowski 2000).”
A Theory of Organization-EHR Affordance Actualization (2014, methodology): “As Orlikowski (2000) notes, technology is neither static (it evolves after implementation) nor are its features unambiguously and objectively defined (individuals interpret them during use). She recommends moving from the concept of “appropriation of embedded structure” to a practice-based view of “”
I’m Proud of It: Consumer Technology Appropriation and Psychological Ownership (2015, neutral): “In this conceptual paper, we seek to advance the literature by deriving the consequences of consumers’ technology appropriation, defined as the customization and idiosyncratic use of technology (see Table 1; Gaskin and Lyytinen, 2012; Orlikowski, 2000).”
Transformational Technologies and the Creation of New Work Practices: Making Implicit Knowledge Explicit in Task-Based Offshoring (2008, background): “Many researchers have suggested that work practices often serve as filters with which to interpret the functionality of an information technology (Boudreau and Robey 2005; Orlikowski 2000; Vaast and Walsham 2005).”
Smartphone use and work-home interference: The moderating role of social norms and employee work engagement (2015, result): “Overall, our findings contribute to prior survey research indicating that employees’ use of communication technology is strongly influenced by organizational culture (Fulk, Schmitz, & Schwarz, 1992; Markus, 1994; Orlikowski, 1992, 2000).”
A Systematic Review of the Literature on Digital Transformation: Insights and Implications for Strategy and Organizational Change (2020, background): “This comes alongside a surge of published articles, conference panels and (e.g., Orlikowski, 2000).”
