摘要：社会化技术在社会中的普及程度不断提高。“社交技术”一词通常指数字社交网络，如Facebook、Twitter、LinkedIn等。为此，需要根据原始定义重新定义这一概念。当今社会技术的概念有几个方面动摇了技术的主导地位。它强调社会科学和人文科学是社会的塑造者，重新考虑社会维度在技术科学中的力量。本文的目的是提供洞察社会技术的概念，通过评估社会协作工具和技术，发展其在信息和知识社会的意义。设计/方法/方式-研究结果有助于社会技术的概念的知识。基于对科学文献的分析和焦点小组的实证研究结果以及内容分析，提出了界定社会技术概念的理论框架。本文提出了与特定的社会协作工具和技术的效果的关系分析。通过设置对工具或技术的影响的分层影响，同时通过所有积极/消极影响来评估每个工具和技术。研究限制/影响-研究是有限的，在几个方面。为了更深入地理解社会技术的概念，发展社会科学的技术观，需要进行更广泛的理论和实证研究。为了概括研究结果，建议进一步研究包括从其他科学领域的角度来看的不同维度。
Abstrac t : The popularity of social technologies continues to grow in the society. The term ‘social technology’ is often referred to digital social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. In order to this a redefinition of this concept based on the orig inal definition is needed. Nowadays the concept of social technologies has several aspects which destabilize the dominant status of technology. It emphasizes social sciences and the humanities as society shapers, reconsiders the strength of social dimensio n in technological sciences. The aim of this paper is to provide insight into the concept of social technologies, to develop its meaning in information and knowledge society by evaluating social collaboration tools and technologies. Design/methodology/approach – The research results have contributed to the knowledge of the concept of social technologies. Based on the analysis of scientific literature and results of empirical research in the Focus group as well as Con tent analysis, theoretical framework for defining the concept of social technologies was developed. The paper presents effects’ relation analysis with particular social collaboration tools and technologies . Each tool and technology was evaluated by all pos itive/negative effects simultaneously by setting hierarchical impact of the effect on a tool or technology . Research limitations/implications – The research is limited in a few aspects . To understand the concept of social technologies more deeply and to de velop technological perspectives in social sciences a broader theoretical and empirical research is necessary. In order to generalise the research findings, it is recommended that further research includes different dimensions from the perspective of other fields of science.
