Majchrzak, Ann, Wagner, Christian and Yates, Dave (2006): Corporate wiki users: results of a survey. In: Proceedings of the 2006 International Symposium on Wikis 2006. pp. 99-104.

“A survey of 168 corporate wiki users was conducted. Findings indicate that corporate wikis appear to be sustainable. Users stated three main types of benefits from corporate wikis: enhanced reputation, work made easier, and helping the organization to improve its processes. These benefits were seen as more likely when the wiki was used for tasks requiring novel solutions and the information posted was from credible sources. Users acknowledged making a variety of contributions, which suggests that they could be categorized as "synthesizers" and "adders". Synthesizers" frequency of contribution was affected more by their impact on other wiki users, while adders" contribution frequency was affected more by being able to accomplish their immediate work.”

Eberts, Ray E., Majchrzak, Ann, Payne, Pamela and Salvendy, Gavriel (1990): Integrating Social and Cognitive Factors in Design of Human-Computer Interactive Communication. In International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 2 (1) pp. 1-27.

“The effects of two social variables, job enrichment and individual/group efforts, on the cognitive processing of a text-editing task, are examined experimentally. By analyzing the keystrokes and the pauses between keystrokes, methods are developed to examine cognitive performance on the task by investigating the hierarchical structure of the cognitive goals, by classifying the cognitive strategies used by the subjects in the task, and by determining a measure of the cognitive efficiency of the goal structure. Differences occurred in cognitive performance based upon job enrichment. Individuals in an unenriched job environment showed no evidence of understanding the cognitive strategies of the other group member in the two-member group so that cognitive performance did not improve with group experience, dissimilarity of cognitive strategies within a group did not affect the time to perform the task in a group, and the overall group strategy was dependent only on the strategy of the typist in the text-editing task. On the other hand, in an enriched job environment, the individual group members apparently communicated cognitive strategy information to the other group member because cognitive efficiency increased with experience in the group, dissimilarity or dispersion of cognitive strategies of individual group members caused the pause times between keystrokes to be increased, the more cognitive strategies in which the group members were exposed the more cognitively efficient was the group strategy, and job satisfaction was dependent upon the similarity of the two group members' cognitive strategies. These results were discussed in terms of the impact of human-human interaction on specifying the conditions of human-computer interaction tasks.”

Majchrzak, Ann (1990): Effect of CAD on the Jobs of Drafters and Engineers: A Quantitative Case Study. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 32 (3) pp. 245-262.

“Job characteristics and performance data for users and nonusers of a CAD system for mechanical design work were quantitatively compared. Results indicated that for engineers, CAD users experienced more interdependence on their job while, for drafters, CAD users experienced less discretion, creativity, and teamwork. These differences between users and nonusers were not related to individual performance. Implications for practitioners implementing CAD and researchers studying technological change are drawn.”

Majchrzak, Ann and Roitman, David (1989): A Sociotechnical Framework for Integrating Social and Technical Features of Computer-Automated Manufacturing. In: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1989. pp. 21-27.

“This paper discusses work-in-progress to identify an analytic framework for matching social and technical features in the design of computer-automated manufacturing technology. The framework offers specific technical features which have been found from the research literature to have specific human role requirements. By clarifying these constraints imposed by technical design options, a model not only for future research but for engineers designing technology can be developed.”

Majchrzak, Ann, Cotter, John, Karasek, Robert, Taylor, James and Eveland, Leslie (1988): The Application of Sociotechnical Systems Design to Computer Integrated Manufacturing. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 749-750.

“Sociotechnical Systems (STS) theory rests on two premises. The first is that, in any purposeful organization in which humans are required to perform activities, the desired output is achieved through the actions of a social as well as a technical system. These systems are interlocked such that the achievement of the output becomes a function of their joint operation. The second premise is that every sociotechnical system is embedded in an environment that is influenced by a culture, its values, and a set of generally acceptable practices. Thus, any organization operates as an open system, in which the boundaries between the environment and the individual systems are highly permeable (see Davis and Taylor, Design of Jobs, 1979 for a fuller discussion of the basic tenets of STS theory.)”

Robertson, Michelle M. and Majchrzak, Ann (1987): Advanced Manufacturing Technology Development: A Macroergonomics Perspective. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1156-1160.

“This paper examines and discusses the implications of a macroergonomic perspective for assimilating advanced manufacturing technological innovations into an organization's human infrastructure. A framework for integrating sociotechnical systems and advanced manufacturing technology design is presented which identifies first-and second-order effects of the new technology on the human infrastructure. The Human Infrastructure Impact Statement (HISS) operationalizes these concepts into a systematic assessment tool. This paper ends with a brief list of some of the pertinent macroergonomic decisions that a manager and macroergonomist must consider in implementing and designing Advance Manufacturing Technologies.”

Majchrzak, Ann, Collins, Paul and Mandeville, Dave (1986): A Quantitative Assessment of Changes in Work Activities Resulting from Computer-Assisted Design. In Behaviour and Information Technology, 5 (3) pp. 259-271.

“In an effort to understand how computer-assisted design (CAD) can be optimized in an organizational setting, perceptions and attitudes of CAD users about their jobs and workplace are compared with those of non-users. Results indicate that the implementation of CAD may not result in the expected benefits if CAD is not appropriately managed. Job unpredictability, job autonomy, and job interdependence are three areas in particular needing management attention if CAD benefits are to be achieved.”
