Description

With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, information system researchers have begun to explore ways in which information technology artifacts have meaning within the context of this seismic event. Within this manuscript, we develop a new concept, namely: mindful adaptation of technology (MAT), and build a research model of it, based on event systems theory, coping theory, and mindfulness research. We theoretically position this multi-faceted construct of MAT within existing models and demonstrate its novelty and utility for understanding technological adaptation in response to extreme research contexts. We conclude with theoretical implications and direction for future research.
