本研究运用分工的概念，探讨媒体在两个组织环境(一间中学教室和一间专业建筑公司)的使用情况。在这两种情况下，参与者在建筑项目工作中都使用了计算机和纸质媒体。这项研究发现，在这两种情况下，协作性劳动在纸上工作的设计师和使用计算机的绘图员之间分配。分析比较了这些劳动分工的起源，发现在劳动分工的原因上有重要的相似之处，在分工对参与者的影响上有重要的差异。分析将相似之处与不同媒体支持合作的相对承受能力联系起来，并将差异与两种环境对参与者作为个人和作为群体成员的不同评价联系起来。
This study uses the concept of division of labor to investigate the comparative uses of media in 2 organizational settings (a middle school classroom and a professional architecture firm). In both settings, participants used both computer and paper-based media in architectural project work. This study found that, in both settings, collaborative labor was divided between designers who worked on paper and draftspersons who worked with computers. The analysis compares the origins of these divisions of labor and finds important similarities in the reasons for the divisions of labor and important differences in the implications of the divisions of labor for participants. The analysis links the similarities to the comparative affordances of different media for supporting collaboration and links the differences to how the 2 environments differently evaluated its participants as individuals and as members of a group.
