Her research focuses on data and IT artifacts in information systems development and social media, examining human-technology interactions and their impact on organizational operations. She applies analytical techniques to datasets, designing frameworks and AI tools for strategic decision-making. Matook's work explores how data, information needs, and team behaviors influence IT artifact design and the development of algorithmic technologies for social artificial intelligence.

Her research is funded by the Australian Research Council, and she has received several awards for her scientific contributions and excellence in teaching.

Sabine Matook's research focuses on Information Systems Development (ISD), Social Media, and IT artifact. Her work explores the intersection of technology and human behavior, particularly in agile ISD teams, the role of IT artifacts in MIS research, and the impact of social media on relationships and user behavior. She investigates how IT artifacts shape organizational processes and how social media influences loneliness and user engagement. Her studies also address the challenges of software development orchestration, process reference models, and the adoption of information systems. Matook's research emphasizes the theoretical and practical implications of IT in business environments, particularly through the lens of institutional theory and systems thinking.
