Abstract

Digital Transformation (DT) has been increasingly promoted in the public sector as a possible approach to enable digital government. However, the impact of DT on citizens and public sector employees remains understudied. We propose to address this as a problem of social sustainability. This theme is at the core of the Information Systems (IS) sociotechnical research agenda. In this paper, we present the preliminary results of a systematic literature review to understand better how IS scholars can address social sustainability in the context of DT in the public sector. We identify seven emerging research themes divided into four major areas focusing on citizens, social workers, intelligent technologies, and public encounters. Finally, we present four implications highlighting guidelines for practitioners to implement a socially sustainable DT in the public sector, possible research avenues in the IS field, and a preliminary definition of socially sustainable DT in the public sector.
