信息隐私是指个人控制或影响有关自己的数据的愿望。信息技术的进步引发了人们对信息隐私及其影响的担忧，并促使信息系统研究人员探索信息隐私问题，包括解决这些问题的技术解决方案。在本文中，我们告知研究人员信息隐私研究的现状，在IS通过批判性分析的IS文献，认为信息隐私作为一个关键的结构。文献回顾表明，信息隐私权是一个多层次的概念，但很少研究。我们还发现，信息隐私研究一直严重依赖于以学生为基础和以美国为中心的样本，这导致有限的概括性的结果。信息隐私研究的重点是解释和预测的理论贡献，很少有研究在期刊文章专注于设计和行动的贡献。我们建议，未来的研究应该考虑不同层次的分析，以及信息隐私的多层次影响。我们说明了这一点与信息隐私问题的多层次框架。我们呼吁对信息隐私的研究使用更广泛的抽样人群，并在期刊文章中发表更多的设计和行动信息隐私研究，这些研究可能会导致信息隐私保护或控制的IT工件。
Information privacy refers to the desire of individuals to control or have some influence over data about themselves. Advances in information technology have raised concerns about information privacy and its impacts, and have motivated Information Systems researchers to explore information privacy issues, including technical solutions to address these concerns. In this paper, we inform researchers about the current state of information privacy research in IS through a critical analysis of the IS literature that considers information privacy as a key construct. The review of the literature reveals that information privacy is a multilevel concept, but rarely studied as such. We also find that information privacy research has been heavily reliant on studentbased and USA-centric samples, which results in findings of limited generalizability. Information privacy research focuses on explaining and predicting theoretical contributions, with few studies in journal articles focusing on design and action contributions. We recommend that future research should consider different levels of analysis as well as multilevel effects of information privacy. We illustrate this with a multilevel framework for information privacy concerns. We call for research on information privacy to use a broader diversity of sampling populations, and for more design and action information privacy research to be published in journal articles that can result in IT artifacts for protection or control of information privacy.
