Mediation between design and use: Revisiting five empirical studies. Livari, N., Karasti, H., Molin-Juustila, T., Salmela, S., Syrjänen, A. L., & Halkola, E. Human IT - Journal for Information Technology Studies as a Human Science, 10(2):81–126, 2009. abstract bibtex This article investigates mediation between design and use, related${\}textbackslashbackslash$nto which there is an abundant literature in information technology${\}textbackslashbackslash$n(IT) research. However, the existing literature is fragmented and${\}textbackslashbackslash$nunconnected. This analysis is motivated by revisiting five empirical${\}textbackslashbackslash$nstudies that address the relationship between design and use. Our${\}textbackslashbackslash$ncollaborative, inductive analysis has revealed mediation as highly${\}textbackslashbackslash$ninfluential in these studies, but in a multitude of different forms.${\}textbackslashbackslash$nEach study is discussed in relation to three themes: design, use,${\}textbackslashbackslash$nand mediation. The key observations related to each study are highlighted.${\}textbackslashbackslash$nThereafier, a categorization of forms of mediation is introduced${\}textbackslashbackslash$nand discussed.

In addition, related to each${\}textbackslashbackslash$nform, interesting aspects characterizing that particular form of${\}textbackslashbackslash$nmediation are discussed.
