The Ethics of Critical IS Research
نویسنده
چکیده
This position paper argues that critical research is based on ethical concerns. Critical research is concerned with power and emancipation and intends to change the state of affairs. These three aspects are reasonable only when based on ethical assumptions. Critical IS research, while ethical in nature, rarely reflects on its ethical roots. The resulting lack of clarity of the ethical basis of critical research threatens its theoretical and practical viability. In order to overcome this problem, critical research needs to reflect on its ethical origin and acknowledge the work undertaken concerning the ethical questions of the individual and organisational use of information and communication technology.
