Abstract:

Actor-Network theory (ANT), in social sense, is an approach to sociological analysis in the field of science and technology studies and focuses on understanding how things get to the situations in which they find themselves. In recent years, this theory has been considered by researchers as a methodological approach to analyze the use of technology in the workplace and describe the various dimensions of socio-technical systems. Despite numerous examples of research based on ANT methodology, no codified framework has been introduced for it and no examples of using this theory in the form of methodology have been found in the country. The present study tries to introduce a framework for data collection and analysis in the context of this theory, while explaining the methodology of this theory in an analytical-descriptive manner. The feasibility and validity of the proposed framework have been assessed in the form of a case study. The results of the research can be effective in the systematic application of ANT methodology, especially in the country.
