Subject: [Air-l] Phenomenographic research methodology

I am currently doing a literature search to locate articles reporting the
findings of phenomenographic studies of human-technology relationships. In
particular, studies where the researcher had participants produce a drawing
of their relationships as one of the data collection methodologies. 
I am doing some brainstorming on how this research methodology might be used
to explore employee-technology relationships in work environments where
social and technical system interactions are self-goverened or governed by
policies and procedures developed and enformed by members of management. 

I am finding this research method is popular among researchers in the
medical sciences, and looking for studies that have been conducted in other
fields of practice. Any assistance and/or advice about using this research
methodology would be appreciated!
