Research Interests:
I am a behavioral researcher and interested in social-psychologicalissues related to Information Systems use. I primarily utilize positivistic andsocial network methodologies. My key research interests are
- Virtuality at individual, team, and community levels: Here, I find myself intrigued by the manner in which advanced information and communication technologies have extended the organizations and teams beyond physical and geographical boundaries, and thereby transformed the manner in which work is performed. Therefore, I focus on research related to understanding how individuals, teams and organizations can most effectively utilize IT under conditions of virtuality.
- Human resource management of information technology professionals: I have been interested in studying management of human resources issues in information technology, including gender. Most recently, I have been focused on work-life balance issues related to IT use.
Methodological Interests:
I am primarily positivistic in my methodological approach. I have conducted field studies as well as lab experiments, utilizing social network analysis, surveys, and interviews. While I am most comfortable with the quantitative analytical methods, I sometimes use qualitative analysis to better understand quantitative findings.
