Boosting green behaviors through information systems that enable environmental sensemaking
Kenan Degirmenci, Jan Recker · Kölner Universitäts PublikationsServer (Universität zu Köln) · 2016
We explore how information systems can enable sensemaking of environmental information by users, and how this support for sensemaking affects beliefs, actions, and outcomes of work practices. In this research-in-progress paper we report on the development of our new theory and we outline the research design of a field experiment in which we will subject our theory to a first empirical evaluation. Once completed, our study will provide implications regarding the design of information systems for environmental sensemaking, and substantiate the role that sensemaking plays in belief formation, action formation, and outcome assessment of work practices.
