Knoll, TheresaTheresaKnoll2026-06-222026-06-222026https://fis.uni-bamberg.de/handle/uniba/115671Abstract: Digital technologies reshape most facets of human life, yet the individual-level responsibility for their dual outcomes remains theoretically opaque. While corporate digital responsibility (CDR) has received growing attention, the actual users remain largely absent from the theorizing about digital responsibility (DR). This TREO paper argues that individual digital responsibility (IDR) is a theoretically distinct phenomenon that existing IS frameworks, including IS use and CDR research, do not fully capture. We identify the structural limitations of these approaches and outline how each dimension of DR must be fundamentally transformed at the individual level in ways that require dedicated theorizing.engconferenceobjecthttps://aisel.aisnet.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1063&context=treos_ecis2026
