Research:
My research focuses upon communication processes in contemporary work configurations. The research questions that I ask typically address factors that influence the use of communication technology as well as the outcomes associated with technology use. Recent projects have explored the impact of virtual team characteristics upon members' communication experiences, effects of communication apprehension upon organizational media use, and characteristics of computer assisted instruction that enhance learning.
