Using Wearable Sensor Technology in Organizational Research

Abstract

The use of wearable sensor technology offers many potential benefits for organizational researchers. Wearable sensors can avoid the limitations of many biases associated with survey data as well as generate large volumes of extremely fine-grain data on individual interactions and group dynamics. This symposium brings together a set of papers with the aim to increase the research community's awareness and advance our understanding of how the potential benefits of wearable sensor technology can be leverage for organizational research.
