Abstract

Previous research on computer personnel, or the "people part" of the computer technology equation, has stimulated understanding of the interaction between people and technology. This paper presents the results of quantitative and qualitative analysis of proceedings from the 1991 through 1999 annual conference of the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer Personnel Research. The study develops a framework defining the domain of management information systems personnel research, summarizes lessons learned, organizes and presents research questions from the past decade's research, and identifies exemplary research streams that provide support for expanding theory and application knowledge in this field. While the continual evolution of technology sets the stage for future research, the need for development of new knowledge in several specific areas is suggested.
