Work-In-Progress

1. Cuellar, M. J., Keil, M., & Johnson, R. D. “The Deaf Effect on Decision Making in Project Management.”
Investigating the deaf effect (why decisionmakers don't hear, ignore or overrule the concerns of whistleblowers) response to whistleblowing. We propose a model using Miceli and Near's theory on whistleblowing effectiveness and Evans’ decisionmaking theory as an underlying mechanisms. We performed an exploratory study of 80 students in a scenario experiment. To collect another 15-20 subjects and then analyze the data.

2. Cuellar, M.J "A Rigorous Critical Realist Explanatory Research Methodology" Extending the conference paper submitted before, this article overviews critical realism and the current proposals for explanatory research based on CR and then proposes an upgrade to those proposals and a set of standards for research practice and reviewing.

3. Cuellar, M.J., McLean, E. and Johnson, R.D. "Redefinition and Metrics for the Systems Usage Construct"
We redefine the systems usage construct as "the extent to which the system is incorporated into the user’s (individual, group, or organization) work processes." Extending the conference paper submitted above, we defined a set of metrics and a process to collect data for those metrics. A field study is in process to test the metrics.

4. Cuellar, M. J., Johnson, R. D. "Task Structure and the Propensity to Collaborate"
Follow-on research with improved survey instruments to investigate the the effect of task structure on the motivation of students to collaborate vs cooperate in class team work to the conference paper submitted above.We define collaboration as students working synchronously to accomplish a task as opposed to asynchronously. We collected information from several undergraduate classes on how students view the structure of tasks and how they spend their time during projects. Now analyzing the data.
