| Abstract | Resarch about office computerization and its relationships to gender and level in the organization is fairly new. Despite increased use of computers in offices and the belief that employee attitudes toward the technology may be crucial when trying to achieve technological effectiveness, few studies have examined these issues. A study was conducted to investigate how an individual's perception of career success might be related to his/her attitude toward a computer-based technology. Twenty-eight Canadian employers from large firms, medium-sized firms, educational institutions, and government agencies selected three to six successful managers and an equal number of support personnel from various departments. Employees (N=196) who used computers at work were selected and administered an anonymous questionnaire to assess their present positions in terms of success and their perception of the technology available to them. The results confirmed the hypothesis that computer attitudes would explain employee perceptions of job and life success. The results also demonstrated that employees assessed computers differently depending on whether they used intelligent workstations or main-frame terminals. Respondents felt that the effect of intelligent workstations upon communication was positive. Other data showed that the perceived effect of computers upon control differed strongly according to gender. Women reported feeling less in control when working with a main-frame terminal than did men, while the perceptions of control when working with an intelligent workstation were about equal for men and women. These findings suggest implications for both researchers and practitioners. (NB) |
