Hi Montecristo, 

I located a great many studies and reports about both work and leisure
aspects of human behavior across a wide spectrum of general and specialized
occurrences. Unfortunately, many very interesting-looking studies were
available only in abstract with payment required for viewing the complete
studies or reports. Therefore, I concentrated on and have listed only
freely available resources, and also did not include any specifically
related to technology as you requested. 

I hope the information provided will be helpful. If you need further
assistance, please Request a Clarification and I'll be happy to respond. 

Regards,

Byrd

"Organizational commitment, accountability, and work behavior: A
correlational study"
"The authors postulated that attitudinal organizational commitment (AOC)
and accountability to an external audience mutually moderate their
relationships with work behavior... As expected, the correlation between
AOC and in-role performance was higher for low as opposed to high
accountability, and the correlation between accountability and in-role
performance was higher for low as opposed to high AOC. Contrary to
expectations, no moderator effects occurred for organizational citizenship
behavior."  2002.

"The present study was designed to take advantage of a longitudinal data
set from a sample of MBA graduates surveyed in 1984, 1991, and 2000-2001,
as studies of the effects of work values over time are particularly lacking
in the existing literature ... The sample includes primarily men and women
business managers across a large set of different organizations. This data
set provides a unique opportunity to examine the relationship of work
values to work outcomes for managers of both sexes." January 2006.
