Researchers in many fields (sociology, economics, industrial relations, education, business management), business managers, and government policy-makers believe that computers are driving profound changes in the nature of work and organization, particularly in increased job skill requirements and new management practices, such as self-directed teams and employee involvement in decision-making. However, the lack of appropriate data has limited the progress of research in this area. This project is a two-wave panel survey of a nationally representative sample of employees (n=2,500) designed specifically to investigate the impact of information technology (IT) on job skill requirements and employee involvement (EI). The surveys will use detailed batteries of items to generate information on the level and trends of IT use, skill demands, and specific EI practices. Cross-sectional and fixed-effects multivariate regression analyses will investigate the direct impact of IT on skill demands and indirect impacts operating through participation in EI practices, as well as the impacts of IT, skills, and EI on other employee outcomes, such as wages, working conditions, and job satisfaction. In addition to filling these recognized gaps in existing knowledge, the survey will contribute new job and organizational measures for researchers and methods and results will be made available to those in government, business, labor, education, and human services who engage in policy and planning relating workplace changes.

许多领域（社会学、经济学、劳资关系、教育、企业管理）的研究人员、企业管理者和政府决策者认为，计算机正在推动工作和组织性质的深刻变化，特别是在提高工作技能要求和新管理方面实践，例如自我指导的团队和员工参与决策。 然而，缺乏适当的数据限制了该领域的研究进展。 该项目是对全国代表性员工样本（n=2,500）进行的两轮小组调查，专门设计用于调查信息技术（IT）对工作技能要求和员工参与度（EI）的影响。 调查将使用详细的项目组来生成有关 IT 使用水平和趋势、技能需求和具体 EI 实践的信息。 横截面和固定效应多元回归分析将调查 IT 对技能需求的直接影响和通过参与 EI 实践而产生的间接影响，以及 IT、技能和 EI 对其他员工成果（例如工资）的影响、工作条件和工作满意度。 除了填补现有知识中这些公认的空白之外，该调查还将为研究人员提供新的工作和组织措施，方法和结果将提供给政府、企业、劳工、教育和公共服务领域从事政策和规划的人员相关工作场所的变化。
