To address the challenges associated with experiencing information, I synthesized existing literature from complementary and multidisciplinary domains of cognitive psychology, computer science, and organizational communication. I initially proposed theoretically driven components of information interaction based on a literature review, followed by a multimethod evaluation to further develop and refine the framework. Quantitatively, I researched organizational practices used for managing the information environment. Empirically, I collected data using multiple samples to test the psychometric properties of a proposed measure of information interaction. I used structural equation modeling to assess relationships associated with information interaction to develop its nomological network. The findings of these studies have implications for research and practice by establishing a new theoretical space in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, using a systems approach to construct development and application, and providing organizations with a mechanism for constant, minimally obtrusive collection and assessment of the information experience of members within the organizational system.born digitaldoctoral dissertationsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
