“…Nowadays, IO is mainly caused by information systems both in private and at work, but it may also be caused by tasks, environment, personal characteristics, and information source design [22]. Information systems causing IO include email applications, intranet websites and the internet in general [28]. The more responsibility managers hold in an organization, the more they solve novel and unstructured tasks, socalled indeterminate problems.…”

In the big data era, managers are exposed to an increasing amount of structured and unstructured information that they must process daily to make decisions. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities can support managerial information processing (IP), which forms the basis of managers' decision-making. To date, little is known about the themes that managers face when integrating AI into their IP and decision-making. The present paper identifies these through three focus group interviews with managers from the financial industry, validates them through a survey and derives organizational implications. The results imply that organizations should (1) evaluate managerial IP tasks and matching AI systems, (2) (re)define roles for managers and AI systems, and (3) redesign management processes for sustainable human-AI interaction.

“…Sobotta [23] conducted an SLR to investigate the contents and applied research designs of the body of knowledge of the relation between information technology and IO, in order to uncover what kind of research is missing to tackle the IO problem. Based on an interdisciplinary database search, this literature by Sobbota unveils several research gaps and calls for further investigation of his proposed research.…”

In the modern society, Internet provides massive amounts of heterogeneous information, hence Information overload has become an ubiquitous issue. In this paper, we conduct a large scale quantitative study for articles dealing with (1) information overloading; (2) faceted search; and (3) filtering the data in three major databases, namely, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and IEEE Explore. These three databases have presented 172 articles, which can be classified into four categories. The first category contains review and survey papers related to information overload. The second category includes papers that concentrate on developing theoretical frameworks to reduce information overloading. The third category contains papers dealing with improving structure or architectural of software for filtering the huge data. The fourth category includes papers that provide criteria to evaluate filtering techniques. Finally, our contribution provides further understanding of information overload, and gives an important basis for future research. Moreover, we illustrate that the dynamic faceted filters are more efficient to reduce the information overload.

“…Although information overload has posed a problem long before the internet, it has been perceived as one of the key challenges for organisations in the digital age (Bawden and Robinson, 2020; Virkus et al , 2018). Information overload is a phenomenon that has received a lot of attention in terms of individual information cognition and behaviour, especially regarding the development of information technology (Sobotta, 2016; Virkus et al , 2018), but not so much in the context of information culture of an organisation. As information culture influences how the information-related problems and barriers are perceived and handled, it seems reasonable to claim that information culture also influences the ways information overload is perceived and the coping strategies are chosen.…”

PurposeThis paper focuses on the links between information culture and the perception of the information overload on the example of higher education institutions in Estonia. The aim of this study is to understand how different types of information culture affect coping with information overload.Design/methodology/approachTwo focus-group interviews with 14 participants and 17 semi-structured interviews with representatives of four HEIs were conducted. First, the questions on the values, norms and assumptions as well as information related practices were discussed to assess the dominant components of the information culture. Second, the perception of information overload was explored. Further, the strategies for coping with information overload were examined. Constant comparative analysis was used to analyse the interview data.FindingsThe results of the study suggest that the construct of information culture is valuable in understanding information environments and their relation to the perception of information overload. The participants representing the open information culture prefer informal information sharing and are more vulnerable to perceive information overload than the participants representing the integrated information culture. Organisational information management is the key to effective coping with information overload.Originality/valueThe current study sheds light on the perception of information overload in connection with information culture.
