Generic "Information technology" has fundamentally changed how we live, work and play ! It goes without saying that it changed people behaviors in many ways. Probably you could refine your question to some aspect of it, say "Web Searching" (read about Filter Bubbles), Vast influences of Social Networking , E-Commerce, Software Development , Open Source , everything has it own effect on people  

Hi Zhang,

Think this statement "how information technology (IT) influences people's behaviors in organizations?" is very broad e.g. IT itself is very diverse from traditional IT to technologies pertaining to Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud (SMAC).  Behaviors in organizations can range from Information System (IS) project success to intentions, behaviors & actual usage of the IS deployed etc.

However, some of the theories / framework illustrating the relationship between IT & behaviors in organizations can be found in the following  links:

1) Delone and McLean IS success model (1992-2003) --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Delone_and_McLean_IS_success_model

2) Diffusion of innovations theory --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations_theory

3) Technology acceptance model (TAM) --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Technology_acceptance_model

4) Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT & UTAUT2) --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Unified_theory_of_acceptance_and_use_of_technology

5) Organizational information processing theory --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Organizational_information_processing_theory

6) Task-technology fit --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Task-technology_fit

7) Technology-organization-environment framework --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Technology-organization-environment_framework

For other IS theories or based on some adaptations you need, you can refer to this link --> http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Main_Page

Wishing you all the best.

The age of technology widens the possibilities for changing behaviour.

E-health interventions, delivered using the internet, are increasingly common. The most effective internet-based interventions at changing behaviour appear to be more extensively based on communication methods, particularly SMS (short message service) or text messaging to send motivational messages e.g. reminders of the benefits of exercise, facilitates behaviour change.

Thanks! I think I may ask a general question.  I reviewed some papers and materials.  I found the following aspects are most relevant to OB studies:

1. ICT and boundaryless career;

2. ICT and attitudes, productivity;

3. ICT and stress;

4. ICT and work-family interface. 

Do you think I ignore any other important aspects? 

Hi,,

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovations (DoI) theories were designed to interpret how innovations (technology) spread among people. TAM concentrates more on human factors while DoI concentrates more on technology factors which affect the acceptance and diffusion respectively.

Regarding your question about how technology affects people's behavior, I think the most influential theory in Education and Business fields is Connectivism. George Siemens and Stephan Downes have proposed new framework to think in Digital Age. If you are interested in this direction, you may find our recent paper very helpful. We studied Connectivism from different perspectives: Artificial Intelligence, neural sciences, philosophy, and others. We also gathered most of the criticism of Connectivism.

This provocatively titled book may provide the information you need, but perhaps in an oblique fashion:  Mitchell Levy: E-volve-or-die.com Thriving in the Internet Age Through E-commerce Management. It  may not directly answer your question but it does provide nourishing  food for thought, in my view.

Hope, they will be helpful

I found the book 'In The Age Of The Smart Machine: The Future Of Work And Power' very insightful back in 1989 when we were starting to wake up to the implications of IT/IS penetrating organisations at all levels. The power of management to see what workers were doing raised fundamental issue of power and control in the workplace.

 @ Richard Ormerod I borrowed the book. Thank you! 

In the 1990s, I assembled a group of insightful articles on IT and labur relations.  They appeared in special symposia for Journal of Labor Research.  Many of the articles made excellent observations on the relationship between IT and human behaviour.  There were articles on surveillance, internet use policy, the identity of IT workers, etc. Han Ping Fung's comment that your question is too broad is correct.  You will have to narrow your question, or classify the possible answers.  Another issue is how quickly the field has changed because to technological advances and the ubiquitiousness of IT these days.  I did some earlier studies (with Uthpala Senarathne Tennakoon) on the effects of portable ICT devices on work-life balance
