Abstract

This study analyses the role of theory in gender and information systems (IS) research by providing a descriptive review of 25 years of IS journal publications on the topic of gender and IS. Trauth performed a critical literature analysis on research papers that appeared in information systems journals between 1992 and 2013. This paper extends the analysis by Trauth adding a literature analysis for research papers from 2012 to 2020. Decades of research on the under-representation of women in information systems (IS) has revealed a checkered landscape of studies ranging from completely atheoretical to theoretically well-informed work. Contained in this considerable body of knowledge is a collection of explicitly theorized gender and IS studies. These are the only types of study that allow researchers to build upon each other’s work, and allow the field to progress from purely descriptive studies to studies that are more analytical in nature, with the goal of suggesting interventions aimed at broadening participation in the IT workforce. This study examines only explicitly theorized research and finds that IS research has indeed progressed from gender essentialist studies toward gender intersectional studies. The intersectional approach encourages explanatory studies that investigate relevant issues in today’s diverse global IT workforce and allows the identification of suitable interventions.

四分之一世纪的性别和信息系统研究:理论在调查性别不平衡中的作用

摘要

本研究通过对25年来有关性别与信息系统主题的IS期刊出版物进行描述性回顾,分析了理论在性别与信息系统(IS)研究中的作用。Trauth对1992年至2013年间在信息系统期刊上发表的研究论文进行了批判性文献分析。本文将Trauth的分析扩展到2012年至2020年之间,对研究论文进行了文献分析。信息系统(IS)揭示了方方面面的研究,涉及的领域从完全无理论的到理论上明智的工作。大量可理解的知识中蕴含着一系列经过明确理论分析的性别与信息系统研究。这些是允许研究人员相互借鉴的唯一研究类型,并允许该领域从纯粹的描述性研究发展到本质上更具分析性的研究,以期提出旨在扩大对IT劳动力参与度的干预措施。这项研究仅考察了明确的理论化研究,发现IS研究确实已经从性别本质论研究发展为性别交叉研究。交叉方法鼓励进行解释性研究,以研究当今全球各种IT员工中的相关问题,并确定合适的干预措施。这项研究仅考察了明确的理论化研究,发现IS研究确实已经从性别本质论研究发展为性别交叉研究。交叉方法鼓励进行解释性研究,以研究当今全球各种IT员工中的相关问题,并确定合适的干预措施。这项研究仅考察了明确的理论化研究,发现IS研究确实已经从性别本质论研究发展为性别交叉研究。交叉方法鼓励进行解释性研究,以研究当今全球各种IT员工中的相关问题,并确定合适的干预措施。
