ABSTRACT
Computers have revolutionised the way we are able to perform work. Yet, there are still many people who feel anxious and afraid when confronted with computer work. This paper looks at psychological type and cognitive style as antecedents of attitudes towards computers in an attempt to clarify an area where research findings are inconsistent. The analysis of MBTI and CAS data from 190 respondents in a South African banking institution provide mixed support for the expected relationships between computer attitudes and psychological type and cognitive style. These results are discussed in relation to previous research and other personal characteristics as antecedents of computer attitudes.
