Abstract :
This paper reports on a cross-national user study exploring the influence of the social work situation on the preferred level of control over IT services in smart office environments. The acceptance of different control mechanisms was tested for representative functionalities with participants from Germany and the USA. The results of the questionnaire-based study show, that the social situation, in which a certain application is used, has a significant effect on the preferred level of user control.
