RESEARCH INTERESTS:

The focus of my research is large-scale organizational change processes and outcomes, with particular interest in technology implementation across a wide variety of settings and system types, ranging from governmental integrated enterprise systems and healthcare information technology transitions, to educational information technology-use in college classrooms. I also have an interest in catastrophic organizational change in response to disaster, and have provided research and service to the Katrina Relief Effort (KARE) to aid hurricane recovery in the region.

Specific areas of research interest include:

Adaptation to organizational change over time in response to technology implementation (e.g., acceptance and use reactions) or disaster (e.g., hurricane recovery)

Multi-level and cross-level contextual influences that shape technology acceptance and use
Organizational structures that promote successful technology implementation
Organizational training practices and individual learning preferences for learning new technologies
