摘要：This paper provides a bird's eye view of action research methodology and its usage in the management information system field.In the review of literature, we pool paper from 8 prominent journals in the information systems domain.We started our literature review through a keyword search on various academic database, such as Science Direct, ProQuest, ACM Digital Library and Business Source Premier, the date range 2001-2019.We finalized a total of 42 empirical articles to review after we remove a number of theoretical papers.Through a designed meta-analysis, we found that there is no common framework to conduct research due to the variety of the research phenomena.Also, the change and reflection is the most dominant AR type in MIS papers.Further, we also found that majority of studies not follow the AR guidelines and, more importantly, fail to apply any validation to improve the rigor of the research.
