Car Racing and Instant Messaging: Task Constraints as Determinants of e-Collaboration Technology Usefulness

چکیده
INTRODUCTION As anyone who looks at the history of research on e-collaboration technologies can attest, much is yet unknown about the impacts of those technologies on people. The development and test of pioneering theoretical models from the 1970s and 1980s, such as the social presence and media richness theories (Daft & Lengel, 1986; Short et al., 1976), have led to the realization that e-collaboration is a complex phenomenon. This perception of complexity has been met by the development of taxonomies, or classifications, of e-collaboration scenarios. ABSTRACT

متن کاملBuilding Assistive Technology for Breakdown Situations in Collaborative Communications via IM
Current trends in scientific collaboration focus on developing effective Web-based communication tools, such as instant messaging (i.,e IM) or video-conferencing. One objective is to provide informal communication opportunities for collaborating scientists. This paper focuses on developing an assistive technology for predicting where breakdown situations have likely occurred in chat communicati...
متن کاملAn E-Collaboration Overview of Behavior and its Relationship with Evolutionary Factors
The collaboration of individuals across large geographic distances began some time ago, perhaps as far back as the 19th century, with the invention of the telegraph, due to its significant impact on communication (Teresko, 2000). Today, with the increased use of computers, the Internet, and the World Wide Web, electronic communication (e-communication), as well as electronic collaboration (e-co...
متن کاملWe-Intention to Use Instant Messaging for Collaboration: A Social Influence Model
The purpose of this study is to introduce the concept of “we-intention” into group technology adoption and diffusion research. In this study, we examined the “we-intention” of using instant messaging for team collaboration. Building upon the social influence framework, a we-intention model is developed and tested with 163 respondents. The research model explained 41.3% of the variance in we-int...
