A scale measuring computer dispositions was used in order to examine whether computerization of work affects employees similarly or differently in Canada and the United States. The study explores the possibility that employees may differ intraculturally, that is, according to gender, hierarchical level in the firm, and whether they work with intelligent work‐stations or main‐frame terminals. The data indicates that intracultural differences are apparent according to type of computer used, gender, and hierarchical level of the respondents. What concerned U.S. female respondents about computer‐mediated work did not necessarily apply to their Canadian counterparts.
