Abstract
The divergent model explains the outcomes of people's participation in online social movements when people see each other's practices as interfering with their own.
This new model is built from a qualitative study of how employees used two online fora to cope with, and respond to organizational change. The model extends research on the role of difference in online social movements by showing how people moderate the effects of preceding practices that they interpret to hinder their own participation in online social movements, and how people specify subsequent practices so that they support their own.
This divergent model provides an analytical framework to understand how online social movements can produce different and even contradictory effects on change in organizations. Thus doing, it opens up research on online social movements to include the effects of tensions and conflicts found by research on online interaction. (134 words).

Understanding the relationships between information technologies and social organization is an increasingly important and urgent social and scholarly concern in many disciplinary fields.Information and Organization seeks to publish original scholarly articles on the relationships between information technologies and social organization. It seeks a scholarly understanding that is based on empirical research and relevant theory.
