“…Building on structuration theory and its foundational observations on the duality of social structure and human agency (Giddens, 1984;Schmitz et al, 2016), our results document how workarounds innovate coworkers' activities, organisational structures, and IT artefacts. This view implies that workarounds play an active role for restructuring an organisation, complementing earlier studies that focus on explaining how and why workarounds occur based on the structure of an organisation (Alter, 2014;Davison et al, 2019;Pollock, 2005;Zamani & Pouloudi, 2021). This duality implies that the diffusion of workarounds needs to be analysed regarding their antecedents and consequences, considering that workarounds interact with their environment in a dynamic process.…”

“…Although workarounds are commonplace in organisations (Li et al, 2017), the mechanisms of their diffusion are still under‐investigated and under‐theorised (Davison et al, 2019; Malaurent & Karanasios, 2019; Zamani & Pouloudi, 2021). The extant research focuses on exploring workarounds as user behaviour to remedy constraints that limit the effectiveness or efficiency of performing their day‐to‐day work (Alter, 2014; Davison et al, 2019; Pollock, 2005; Zamani & Pouloudi, 2021), but it is unclear what consequences they can have at an organisational level, beyond their initiators.…”
