Abstract
Collaboration among individuals via information and communication technologies is today in many areas of activity (crowdsourcing, open innovation, virtual team work etc.). The design of such systems and the interaction possibilities is therefore of central importance for the success of the collaboration in its entirety. In addition, the design of such human digital collaboration systems can benefit when considering the individuals in its central scope and the influence of cognitive processes and their social interaction virtually. At this point, we position this paper and derive design information from seven theories (Media Synchronicity Theory, Multimotive Information Systems Continuance Model, Equity Sensitivity Construct, Yield Shift Theory of Satisfaction, Transactive Memory Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior and Theory of Deferred Action) and argument their relevance for digital human collaboration systems. We first discuss each theory and derive meta-requirements to formulate design principles for designers and developers of such systems.
