My research interests have centered on the impacts of information and communication technologies (ICT) on individuals and organizations. This has resulted in several streams of research. First and foremost is the use of ICTs to support distributed work such as telecommuting, hoteling, and virtual teams. This includes the area of computer-mediated communications. The second stream of research relates to the use of telecommunication technologies for electronic business, broadly defined to include e-commerce and e-government. My particular interests in this domain include defining website success, and investigating security, privacy, and trust issues related to web and electronic environments.
Preferred Methodologies:
My earlier work focused on positivist approaches with field survey research and the related multivariate analysis methods, including structural equation modeling. I have recently been conducting more qualitative research with case studies, interviews, and focus groups.
