Use Of Human–Computer Interaction Devices And Web 3.0 Skills Among Engineers, Dr. Robbie L. Walker Jan 2022

Use Of Human–Computer Interaction Devices And Web 3.0 Skills Among Engineers, Dr. Robbie L. Walker

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Despite massive company investments in human–computer interaction devices and software, such as Web 3.0 technologies, engineers are not demonstrating measurable performance and productivity increases. There is a lack of knowledge and understanding related to the motivation of engineers to use Web 3.0 technologies including the semantic web and cloud applications for increased performance. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to investigate whether the use of human–computer interaction devices predict Web 3.0 skills among engineers. Solow’s information technology productivity paradox was the theoretical foundation for this study. Convenience sampling was used for a sample of 214 participants from metropolitan …
