DEVELOPING AN IT VIEW-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR IS ETHICS RESEARCH

The field of information systems ethics is much like the field of information systems (IS) in its diversity and wide range of applications. Utilizing this similarity, the following literature review demonstrates a unique framework for the body of research involved with information systems ethics. The new framework is based upon the idea that IS ethics is comprised of a set of research that is directly related to IS. The paper delineates the work that has been done in IS ethics by imposing a well-known classification of IS onto the IS ethics literature. The conclusion of the exercise is a roadmap for future research that illustrates the importance of maintaining a strong connection between IS ethics and all of the various perspectives from which information systems are viewed and studied.
