Employment Impacts of Information System Implementation in a Federal Agency: An Exploratory Study

Abstract

This paper was prepared for presentation at a special session on Employment Impacts of Information Technology at the Annual Meetings of the Academy of Management, Anaheim, California, August 1988. The paper presents findings from an exploratory study of employment impacts of the U.S. Forest Service's agency wide information system, a system implemented during the period 1984-1987. The study was conducted to determine the feasibility of studying employment impact patterns using very large payroll and personnel history data sets, and to quickly assess the extent to which employment impacts of the Forest Service system could be detected using a research approach adapted from techniques of organizational demography.
