Abstract

In this paper, I propose a research agenda based on the concept of the social information system, a form of information system designed to process information about individuals and their social relationships for the explicit purpose of producing a particular social order, i.e, organizational culture. The agenda is based on a review of extant research on organizationally-bound social network(ing) sites, categorizing findings according to labor-oriented and social-oriented uses. The proposed research agenda establishes as an object of socio-technical inquiry the design and use of the social information system as a facilitator of organizational culture.
