overlooks the influence of social structures on human-technology interac-tions. They draw upon Giddens' concept of social positioning, which refers to the ways in which individuals' social identities and roles shape their experiences, to examine the adoption of mHealth devices by community health workers in India. The case study shows that mHealth technology can have differential socialised affordances that are contingent on the pluralistic social positionings of CHWs in their respective structural complexes. Socialised affordance becomes the junction where technology meets the structural properties. The social positioning lens also magnifies the delicate interconnections between social actors and social institutions and links the broader macro-structural conditions with the micro-level enactment of technology affordances through human actors at the ground level. The study generates theoretical implications for research on technological affordances by integrating the broader social arrangements and power relations in the analysis of digital practice and digital work.
