自2007年以来，社会物质性在组织研究和信息系统文献中引起了越来越多的关注，目前已有140多篇期刊文章提到了这一概念。超过80%的文章发表于2011年1月，几乎所有的文章都引用了Orlikowski（2007，2010; Orlikowski and Scott 2008）的工作作为概念的来源。然而，只有少数人解决了Orlikowski提出的社会物质性所包含的所有概念，即物质性，不可分割性，关系性，表演性和实践，许多人有选择地使用这个概念。因此，社会物质性对这些文献的贡献仍然不清楚。从一个正在进行的研究，采用基于计算机的临床信息系统在医院重症监护病房的证据，本文探讨了概念，单独和集体，是否提供了一个独特的和连贯的帐户之间的关系的社会和材料，可能是有用的信息系统研究。有人认为，如果sociomateriality是不仅仅是一个标签的研究采用了一些松散相关的现有的理论方法，那么研究采用的概念需要更多地关注它所蕴含的概念，并在其解释的差异。
Sociomateriality has been attracting growing attention in the Organization Studies and Information Systems literatures since 2007, with more than 140 journal articles now referring to the concept. Over 80 percent of these articles have been published since January 2011 and almost all cite the work of Orlikowski (2007, 2010; Orlikowski and Scott 2008) as the source of the concept. Only a few, however, address all of the notions that Orlikowski suggests are entailed in sociomateriality, namely materiality, inseparability, relationality, performativity, and practices, with many employing the concept quite selectively. The contribution of sociomateriality to these literatures is, therefore, still unclear. Drawing on evidence from an ongoing study of the adoption of a computer-based clinical information system in a hospital critical care unit, this paper explores whether the notions, individually and collectively, offer a distinctive and coherent account of the relationship between the social and the material that may be useful in Information Systems research. It is argued that if sociomateriality is to be more than simply a label for research employing a number of loosely related existing theoretical approaches, then studies employing the concept need to pay greater attention to the notions entailed in it and to differences in their interpretation.
