My research over the past 15 years has focused on technology acceptance and use in organizations and households. Broadly speaking, my research focuses on how and why employees use technologies in organizational settings and what the consequences of such use are. Similarly, my work in households focuses on how and why people use technologies in homes and what the consequences of such use are. This web site serves as a source of information about completed research and a window into some ongoing work. The list of published papers is available here and the papers are also organized by specific topic areas.

The rest of this page provides information about collaborators with whom I have published or accepted papers.

Over the years, I have had various collaborators who have made key contributions to many of the papers. One collaborator who also had a great influence on my work, based on his early work and also his counsel, has been Fred Davis, who is presently a colleague at the University of Arkansas. Some of the early papers benefited greatly from the general advice of Gordon Davis, my dissertation advisor at the University of Minnesota. My peer collaborators who were instrumental in my own intellectual development include Sue Brown (U of Arizona), Mike Morris (U of Virginia), and Cheri Speier (Michigan State University). I have enjoyed collaborating with many others, including Phil Ackerman (Georgia State University), Ritu Agarwal (U of Maryland), Sanjay Gosain (Capital Group), Anne Massey (Indiana University), and V. Ramesh (Indiana University).

Much of my more recent work is with PhD students: Hillol Bala (advisee) and Tracy Sykes (2nd year student), both of whom are at the University of Arkansas. I also worked with Phil Johnson, a PhD student at the University of Maryland. Graduates from the University of Maryland, who began working with me from their PhD student days include my advisee, Dr. Likoebe Maruping, who is currently on the faculty at the University of Arkansas, Dr. Jason Kuruzovich, who is currently on the faculty at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Dr. Alan Carswell, who is currently on the faculty at the University of Maryland.
