Abstract

The increasing concern over data breaches in Indonesia, particularly involving personal health information, necessitates effective solutions. Information governance (IG) has emerged as a potential remedy to address these challenges. This research paper aims to propose a critical realism approach as an alternative to traditional approaches like case study, narrative study, and ethnography in studying social phenomena within the realm of information governance. Building upon previous studies in IG and information system research that have utilized critical realism, this study explores the methodology and application of critical realism in understanding and improving information governance practices. This study synthesizes insights from previous IG and information system studies that have employed critical realism. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the potential benefits and drawbacks of using this approach. By exploring this innovative approach, the study contributes insights into the interplay between information governance and critical realism, providing a novel lens to drive social change. The findings of this research will offer a synthesized understanding of the potential of critical realism in enhancing our comprehension and advancement of information governance practices.
