Testing the Usefulness of Information Visualization in Managerial Decision-Making in Work-From-Home Mode

Rini Wijayanti, Dyah Ekaari Sekar Jatiningsih

Abstract


This study aims to examine the effect of information visualization and Need for Cognition (NFC) on usability in work from home (WFH) context. This study uses experimental method with modified case instruments from previous studies. Research results show that there is no difference in the level of efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction of information visualization between individuals who complete assignments using high visualization compared to individuals who complete assignments using low visualization. Meanwhile, as hypothesized, there are differences in the level of efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction of information visualization between individuals who have high NFC compared to individuals who have low NFC in completing work-from-home assignments. Implications of this result is discussed further for management of organization in remote working context.



Keywords


effective, efficient, satisfaction, information visualization, NFC, WFH.
