Revisiting the Constructs of SQB Theory: A Review and Research Agenda

Abstract

This literature review aims to examine the current state of SQB theory by looking at its evolution, most used constructs, contextual coverage and propose new SQB constructs to a revised model. More specifically, this paper examines SQB research published from 2010 to 2021. While some work has been done on examining the application of SQB theory within their context, the associated SQB constructs in which this work was achieved are frequently observed. Investigating the papers from a theoretical and contextual view exposes that IS researchers have continuously used SQB, yet primary attention is on existing theories with little attention to contextual differences even though a fast-moving IT appearance is present in the field. Regardless of the context, researchers can learn lessons on SQB learned from other scholars and move beyond to further enrich the understanding of SQB with an expansion of the existing SQB literature.
